Greetings!
We finished watching Romeo & Juliet in class. This was the second half of the movie that we started watching on Tuesday. At the conclusion of the film we had an interesting conversation about one of the "controversial issues" that is sometimes overlooked when students study this play, namely Shakespeare's comment on arranged marriages. We had an interesting discussion about this topic with students sharing information about religions or cultures that have arranged marriages. In Shakespeare's time arranged marriages were far more commonplace, whereas today, it is not as commonplace in Europe or North America. I really enjoyed this discussion because it allowed for people to contribute to the discussion, and share their thoughts, and maybe "break down" some misconceptions about arranged marriages in their religion or culture.
We also briefly looked at the business cycle at the end of the class.
