Richard II: Act III Discussion

We move on to the pivotal Act III, steeping ourselves in class tensions, water and fire imagery, and marveling at how Richard gains linguistic power as he loses his political power. Our cast of Stephen Wagener Bennett, Nazlah Black, Zoe Burke, Mairi Chanel, Caryl Farkas, Zoë Goslin, Mike Marcou, Amy Meilander, & William Potter, facilitated by Ariana Karp, continues their exploration of Richard II. Here is a link with information on the Elizabethan philosophy of the four humors that we briefly discussed - check it out for more information! https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/shakespeare/fourhumors.html
