Tempest Art

When looking at the various types of art that are depicted in different versions of the Tempest I found many interesting pictures. If you look at picture of Miranda at http://www.english.emory.edu/classes/Shakespeare_Illustrated/Goodall.Miranda.html and then look at a picture of her at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tempest_(play) you can see what i mean. One picture is all plain with dull colors and the other picture makes Miranda look like a pretty looking lady, telling her father to be quiet while she stares off in the distance, all beautiful and looking at a hot man.

With any art, i think that it is awesome to have so many different pictures of one thing. It allows each person to create their own mental pictures of the character when reading, then compare their thoughts to the interpretations of others.

The Tempest

I am so happy to find a site that has the Tempest in "modern english" for me to read. I had a hard time understanding the original so hopefully, this will be a little more pleasant!

THEORY SITES I VISITED

I am not very fond of the Literary toolkit site. The reading is like a dialog story, i'd rather just have the information about the subject and know what it is saying (flat out writing)
This Website was one of my favorites!

When reading the information about Theories of Gender and Sex, I was surprised to see how many names and categories of theorist there were for this subject. "As a result, sex and gender theorists can be divided into various sub-schools that bring together the insights of disparate approaches (eg. materialist feminists, Foucauldian theorists of gender, postmodern and poststructuralist theorists of gender, and psychoanalytical feminists; psychoanalytical feminists can, in turn, be divided among Freudian, Lacanian, and Kristevan thinkers)." Wow! This is just interesting to me.
