Rethinking Ophelia

The purpose of the module is to examine the role of Ophelia in Hamlet based upon the social perceptions found in the readings. The unit is taught during the second quarter following work on multiple perspectives. 

This unit begins with a reading of Hamlet through the gender and social class theoretical lenses. The module will serve as the culminating writing for the entire unit; however, it is not inclusive of the actual reading of Hamlet.
