Comedy (Lectures)

As last term, instruction for this subject is provided by a combination of lectures and classes; for the classes students will be expected to write essays and make presentations. The classes are designed to complement the lectures, and those offering the subject should attend the lectures as well as the classes. One week will be devoted to each of the following plays, in order, in weeks 1-4: Bacchides, Pseudolus, Eunuchus, Adelphoe. The lectures will cover aspects of Bacchides 530-760, Pseudolus 1-380, Eunuchus 1-506 and Adelphoe 1-287 respectively. The student presentations will focus either on some of the scenes following those covered in the lectures or on more general questions.

The class in week 5 will give students a further opportunity to discuss the sort of more general questions that are likely to be set by the examiners at the beginning of week 6.
