Last lesson, Renaissance and Shakespeare were the major topics. I like attending this course because when we have discussed about a new topic, I want to have information about it more than we have studied. So, I search on my own about it and learn many more useful information. These information are usually permanent. Then, I want to mention Renaissance period and a little bit Shakespeare.
Renaissance was the period of enlightenment in the field of literature, art, science etc. This period is also described as rebirth. Starting of this period shows differences according to countries. The most important feature of this period was humanism. The idea of Christianity in Middle Age lost its value and humanism gained importance. Humanists dealt with this world, on the contrary Christianity dealt with the other world. According to humanism, this world is created in order to be made use of by humans. All caused self-discovery of humans. Therefore, this idea was reflected to literature and works.
Shakespeare was one of the most important writers of this time and he used humanism on his works. Because he was visionary, he was described as ''not just one period, he's for all periods.'' in a poetry of Ben Jonson. Some researchers say that Christopher Marlowe and Shakespeare were the same person because their works were close to each other. Although Shakespeare had no education and lack of travel experiences, how could he write all of his works? I think, he was so genius.
To sum up, learning many new historical events and examining different works of art are enjoyable. I can not wait to see all different works and different thoughts reflecting works.
