  • How did the time period in which the work was written affect how and why it was written? (Think: who was in power at the time Shakespeare wrote this?)
    • In this time period Queen Elizabeth was in power and she died without a direct heir. England not having a direct heir  allowed for confusion about who is suppose to be in power. This caused the idea of power, where it comes from and how it is used. 
    2. How does placing the piece in the context of our time period affect its meaning and how it is perceived?
    This piece in our time period is applicable because who the power is given to today is harder to decide because royal "blood" does not exist (in America) like it did back then.

    Answer the following:
    • the speaker and the one spoken to (could be himself/herself) 
    • the context (what was happening at this point in the play)  
    • Analyze this passage from the New Historicist perspective. (Hint: Why would Shakespeare emphasize that the King is good in this play?)

They are sometimes recognized really easily and sometimes it is harder to decipher. ]]> 2018-03-19 16:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rrandolph2/vu76rj5qt05x/wish/243623210 Person 1: Write 3 Main Points about New Historicism rrandolph2 https://padlet.com/rrandolph2/vu76rj5qt05x/wish/243623212 - "power appears to operate and maintain itself on its own"  It's not planned different aspects take control.
    - "we collaborate with the power that controls us" We work with power to gain control.
    - power influences us in lots of different ways, not just one.]]>     2018-03-19 16:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rrandolph2/vu76rj5qt05x/wish/243623212     Person 1: rrandolph2 https://padlet.com/rrandolph2/vu76rj5qt05x/wish/243623213 Person 1: Why bother viewing literature through the New Historicism perspective?  Why should we still use it to analyze literature?

    Because "power is what controls us."
    New Historicism explains that power is all around us and influences different people in different ways. We should use it to analyze literature because it helps to decipher what type of power a character wants or has. ]]>     2018-03-19 16:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rrandolph2/vu76rj5qt05x/wish/243623213
