Final Post: My Presentation
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VwiySLUAOlsn3pBxM-hcxx7FNILsjjf0TwSnitIsR0U/edit?usp=sharing For my final post, I’m posting the very little presentation I made for our final class. I decided to do my PowerPoint on my first project dramatically titled; Beowulf: The Musical. I go into the details on why I chose that project very quickly, but I’ll elaborate a little bit here. Overall, I felt… Read more Final Post: My Presentation
Paradise Lost VS Rocky Horror Picture Show (Third Project)
Paradise Lost, written by John Milton and first published in 1667, retells Genesis from multiple perspectives, mainly focusing on Satan, God, Jesus, Adam, and Eve. As we all know from class, Paradise Lost is pretty hefty. We didn’t even read a ton of it. Not to mention, I had no prior knowledge besides the absolute… Read more Paradise Lost VS Rocky Horror Picture Show (Third Project)
Hypocrisy In Religious Texts
I chose to listen to the audiobook of Paradise Lost (or rather book 1 and the beginning of book 3) which I’ll leave down below because I actually really enjoyed it. I don’t know a ton about Christianity so having the names and places said out loud to me really helped with my understanding. One… Read more Hypocrisy In Religious Texts
Iago and Honesty
As I’ve been reading these past acts one major aspect that has stuck out to me is the constant connection to Iago and honestly. Multiple times throughout Acts 2 and 3 in particular there are references to Iago’s character and his candor. “But I’ll set down the pegs that make this music, As honest as… Read more Iago and Honesty
Collecting Cultures like Pokemon and Addressing Assholes of DnD
I have reflections from both Canto I and the article “Orcs, Britons, and the Martial Race Myth Part 2”. I’ll start with the article as I just finished it. As someone who plays D&D, I know firsthand the type of people that appear in some situations. Granted, there are great people out there that play,… Read more Collecting Cultures like Pokemon and Addressing Assholes of DnD
Beowulf; The Musical
Unfortunately, I did not create an entire musical for my project, although that would’ve been amazing. I decided to create various playlists for some of the characters within Beowulf and focus on displaying their thoughts through lyrics. Just a slight note; all the playlists are done in an order of the progression of their thoughts… Read more Beowulf; The Musical
Religion and (It’s) Mental Illness Luv
Please ignore the Tiktok reference at the beginning; it was stuck in my head so it must be portrayed. One of the reflections I had was during our class disucssion of “Complaint” was the comparision of mental illness today and mental illness during the time period. I also thought one line in particular that I… Read more Religion and (It’s) Mental Illness Luv
Feminism vs Masculinity Within Society
One of the biggest thoughts that stuck out to me while reading this week’s reading (and stuck with me when forming my reflections) in particular, Bisclavret, was the difference between how femininity and masculinity were viewed in terms of society and the literature. In class, we talked about how femininity was often seen as a… Read more Feminism vs Masculinity Within Society
More Than The Monsters Seem
While finishing Beowulf, I had a lot of thoughts, which led to two questions I was wondering about other people’s opinions of their understanding. TW: Sexual Assault, if this is something that would raise unwanted feelings in you please feel free to skip my questions While annotating with Sara-Ann, we were noticing a few particular… Read more More Than The Monsters Seem
