The History of Shakespeare Movies and Plays NEW

Did you know The Lion King was inspired by Hamlet, yes, but also by the Biblical stories of Joseph and Moses? Like so many Disney movies, it’s an amalgamation of different mythologies. However, Scar killing his brother Mufasa to become king is taken directly from Hamlet. The characters of Timon and Pumba also serve as fairly obvious substitutes for Hamlet’s friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. West Side Story is an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet; 10 Things I Hate About You is based on Taming of the Shrew, and many more. In this class you will use the book series Shakespeare Can Be Fun! in order to read shortened versions of some Shakespeare plays. This class is interactive; you will read, listen, and see movie clips. You will also compare and contrast with related movies. You will also learn about Shakespeare as an author.
