I began this week excited to start the Shakespearean Critical theory project, but that excitement soon ended. This project was supposed to be fun and interesting, but now has become a major source of anxiety and stress. I am worried and saddened by the lack of work ethic in my group. I fear that sense I contributed ¾ of the work this week, I will be expected to continue taking on this workload and do all the work for two of my group members. This week we took notes on our specific theories by answering questions revolving around the origins and elements of the theory. My group picked to do a feminist criticism. I’m glad we did this, that way we know what to look for and how to analyze it when watching our Shakespearean play. Sense I answered 4 of 6 questions, I’m more confident in being able to do this. I guess that’s the good side of doing all the work. We also spend time analyzing two sonnets. One was written by Shakespeare and the other by Shelley. Both revolved around the idea of living on after death. Shakespeare’s said that you live on through your soul, and Shelley’s was through other people’s memories of you. Analysing poems are really hard for me. I don’t understand why Shakespeare or any poet just doesn’t say what they are trying to say. Why does it have to be a puzzle. If they wanted to get a message across, the easiest way to do it would be just saying it directly with no intricate metaphors that take 30 minutes to decipher.
