For Medieval and Renaissance Literature

Superior Women in Renaissance Literature We learn early on that we have more gender equality today than we have ever had before, it’s been proven through history and the evolution of literature. It’s safe to assume based on what we have read in class that most if not all literary works from that time periodContinue reading “For Medieval and Renaissance Literature”

The Faerie Queene x Tarot Cards

When you think of tarot cards, doesn’t your mind immediately go to The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser? No? Me either, but no doubt are you able to connect the two! For this project, I took a dive at connecting some of the characters from Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene Book 1, Canto 1 andContinue reading “The Faerie Queene x Tarot Cards”

Jeshua Biscalvert

“My heart is with another.” 

“Liar.” 

“I don’t lie.” He squeezed his left hand, willing the ring there to swallow him up. Maybe he would upset his husband by crashing his day, but he would rather that than having to deal with another second of this. 

“Who is this lover? How can she be fairer than I?” 

“I never said they were,” he replied, not even able to feign his lover was a woman. He had known that Authur’s court with its mix of Roman Christianity and Puppillandian noblemen’s standards would be a ghoulish place to be for someone like him, but Electra had asked, and he couldn’t say no. 

“You’re in love with a boy,” she hissed, her tone cruel and disgusted. She stepped away from him as though he were contagious. “My husband will have you executed for this!” 

“I–” Jay tried to answer, but his lungs choked and suddenly, everything was gone.

When I first read Yde et Olive, I thought it was an absolute crime that the scene where Yde reveals to their wife that they were born a woman was reduced to essentially a bullet point list and a brief response from Olive. And I continued to think about it afterward.  Actually, my greatest issueContinue reading “A Missing Scene (Yde et Olive)”

Lady Macbeth, Queen and tyrant

Prey and Predator I ended up getting very into Macbeth as we were reading it, and I wanted to focus on Lady Macbeth and the different aspects of her. From the murderous to the innocent pieces of the queen. The basis of my art piece is that of a stained glass window. Almost every panelContinue reading “Lady Macbeth, Queen and tyrant”

By the pricking of my thumbs,/Something wicked this way comes.

“By the pricking of my thumbs,/Something wicked this way comes.” (Macbeth, Act 4 Scene 1) My unessay, as you can see, is based around this line that has been living in my head rent free. I’ve been wondering about the Witches’ relationship with wickedness, and if Macbeth is truly the wickedness they claim. A largeContinue reading “By the pricking of my thumbs,/Something wicked this way comes.”
