This course introduces the thought, dramatic techniques, language and moral psychology of the most influential writer in the English language. In this course, we slowly and carefully read some of the plays of this dramatist and poet, examining his treatment of the enduring issues of human individuality and relationships, including: parental preference and sibling rivalries; the needs, fears, and dignity of the elderly; ambition, loyalty, self-sacrifice, lust, cruelty and honesty; the ability of human beings to plan wisely while also accounting for human weaknesses and passions; the need for every individual eventually to confront a moral dilemma that will define his or her character.
