EXPLORING THE DISCIPLINES: LITERATURE (CUL-232072)

Online Learning Home > Online Learning Catalog > Communications Humanities and Cultural Studies >

Course Description:

This eight-week course is intended to get students to investigate the nature of literature. The course is focused around two texts, Shakespeare's Hamlet and Lolita Files' Child of God, which students will read and discuss in depth. Both texts include a similar story-line: a murder, an incestuous relationship, an uneasy resolution at the end. By exploring these texts written over 300 years apart, students will learn about the types of themes, questions, comparisons and insights that literature has to offer. The course will also start to offer insight into literary analysis and research.

This course partially meets the General Education requirement in Humanities.
