Richard van Oort

4.9/5 (14501 ratings)

Description:Shakespeare s Big Men examines five Shakespearean tragedies Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and Coriolanus through the lens of generative anthropology and the insights of its founder, Eric Gans. Generative anthropology s theory of the origins of human society explains the social function of tragedy: to defer our resentment against the big men who dominate society by letting us first identify with the tragic protagonist and his resentment, then allowing us to repudiate the protagonist s resentful rage and achieve theatrical catharsis.Drawing on this hypothesis, Richard van Oort offers inspired readings of Shakespeare s plays and their representations of desire, resentment, guilt, and evil. His analysis revives the universal spirit in Shakespearean criticism, illustrating how the plays can serve as a way to understand the ethical dilemma of resentment and discover within ourselves the nature of the human experience."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
