La influencia de Ovidio en Shakespeare: el mito de Píramo y Tisbe

La influencia clásica en el teatro isabelino ha sido un tema bastante común entre los estudios de diversos críticos y ensayistas a lo largo de la historia. Para la redacción de este TFG hemos escogido el relato mitológico de Píramo y Tisbe. Analizaremos su camino desde la obra 'Metamorphoseon libri' de Ovidio, estudiando su recorrido para saber cómo y a través de quién llegó a manos del dramaturgo inglés William Shakespeare, quien lo incorporará a su comedia A midsummer night's dream. Asimismo, haremos un análisis comparativo entre los dos textos que hemos elegido, basándonos en diferentes ensayos y artículos escritos sobre este tema.

The Commodification of Queer Virgins in Shakespeare, Spenser, and Keats

The purpose of this thesis was to explore selected works from William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, and John Keats, in order to expose textual instances of feminist thought. This analysis was aided with feminist theorists falling under the main strains of queer theory, materialism, and gender performance. Specifically, this thesis focused on the ways in which women, particularly virgin daughters, were viewed as property by their male kin. It also looked at how these women engaged in various symbolic masquerades and/or actual cross-dressing as a response to the aforementioned phenomenon. Finally, the thesis exposed how these masquerades can be construed as a queering of identity—manifested through reversals of power and rejection of patriarchal institutions like marriage.

Idleness and passion: Hamlet's tragic character in the light of stoicism and medieval Christian philosophy

This thesis explores the character of Hamlet in Shakespeare's same-titled work in the light of certain aspects of stoicism and medieval Christian philosophy. Throughout the course of the play we see Hamlet struggling with his thoughts. At first he deliberates without taking action as a consequence of his reasoning, but in the later stages of the play he gives in to passion, which ultimately leads to his own demise. The thesis gives an account of certain aspects of both philosophies that are displayed in the play and shows how those ideas influence the character of Hamlet and contextualize his personal tragedy. Hamlet fails to follow the philosophies that he praises and to grow as a character by overcoming his passions over the course of the play.
