Instead of Ashland

For those of you not coming to Ashland, please watch a film version of either Shakespeare's Julius Caesar or Henry IV, Part I. It must be a Shakepearean version.

After watching the play, please write a 350 word blog post reflecting on the play (like you would do for MOR). What do Shakespeare's themes (deeper meanings) seem to be? How does he show these through character and other elements?

Due Monday with a regular journal. Thanks!

Best option (most modern film)-- Julius Caesar (by the BBC) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X2l1YFuM-w
 
Older Julius Caesar 1969 version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JInTNKLaEI4

Henry IV Part 1 (pretty old version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ8dAvTGGyw&t=1751s

If you have access to the recent The Hollow Crown PBS movie series, you may watch Henry IV Part I in that set.

Email if you have questions! You may start watching one of the films in class Friday, if you have time and the internet works for YouTube.
