Modern Shakespeare, Wednesday, Period 1 & 2

"We briefly touched on feminism in our last class," Karla said, handing out summaries of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew as well as a very basic introduction to the concept of feminism. "This play has vexed feminists and feminist scholars for years with its depiction of the relationship between the two main characters and the change in Kate from the beginning of the play-within-a-play to the end of it. While you're watching today's movie, I want you to keep that in mind. Is the relationship in the movie better than the one in the play? Do you believe in Kate's transformation--and what do you think of it? How do you feel about her father's rules?"

as always, there was popcorn to be had while the movie played, and comfortable chairs and beanbags for the students to sprawl out on. Karla, of course, had very strong feelings about both the movie and the play that inspired it, but then, she was from a matriarchy. She looked forward to hearing what her students had to say about it.
