PAPERS
Fashion it thus’: Brutus’s Soliloquy in the Orchard
Written by: Dr Vanessa Lim
Seeing Consent in Shakespeare’s War Plays
Written by: Dr Hailey Bachrach
Shakespeare’s depictions of war tend to recognise that violence spills beyond the boundaries of the battlefield, and his female characters are often used to reflect the cost of combat on those who do not or cannot fight. This talk will explore how Shakespeare stages the problem of consent in plays where sex and violence intertwine as acts of war.
