We open our final semester with a deliberate study of the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus and his famous trilogy <span style="font-style:italic;">The Oresteia</span>. Our entire semester falls under his influence, as we venture into Wharton and Faulkner's own indebtedness to Aeschylean tragedy.<br /><br /><br />Tuesday:<br /><br />Introduction to Semester and Greek Tragedy<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Wednesday:<br /><br />As you have spent a semester with me already, you will undoubtedly understand why Ethan Hawke's portrayal of Hamlet is my favorite with all of its dark undertones and contemporary motifs.
