All is Fair in Love and War
Study Plan:
“All is Fair in Love and War” consists of two parts:
1. An introduction to and analysis of World War I poems.
2. An introduction to Shakespeare, the renaissance and an analysis of excerpts from “Macbeth”.
By the end of this course the students must therefore be able to:
- Analyze sonnets; both Italian/Petrarchan and Shakespearean sonnets as well as a mix of these.
- Analyze excerpts from “Macbeth” focusing mainly on Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as well as their relation to each other and to other characters.
Technical terms that the students must be able to use in their analyses (besides the terms that they normally use when making analysis): Turn, volta, rhyme, rhythm, structure, prose, verse, stanza, iambic pentameter, trochaic tetrameter, metaphor, simile.
