A class which turned out to be a lot on verse drama, and how and why it works, partly based on\xa0Evelyn Tribble's ideas about "fluent forgetting" (which I mentioned before) in her book\xa0Cognition in the Globe.\xa0 Lots of stuff on proto-Indo-European and on how poetic lines work: "loose onsets, strict endings."\xa0 How Shakespeare makes us focus on particular words but also justifies that focus.\xa0 Hint: rhyme.\xa0 We finally get to talking about 5.3, and to Shakespeare's bad Dad pun on Macbeth's refusal to "shake with fear."\xa0\xa0Antony and Cleopatra officially starts next week, but we'll have one more day on Act V of\xa0Macbeth.
