Viperman - did you watch the film from a couple of years back with that DiCaprio bloke in it? If you haven't, it's the easiest way to get at some of the messages in the play IMO. Just then have to map them back to the original text.
Either way - bummer - I hated English Lit at school... I mean some of the books we did were actually great and some were shit, but without exception, they were all taught in the dreariest way possible..
But then what *is* gonna get a 15yr old lad interested in the Bard when girls, PS2s, Mobile Phones, PH and MadDog 20/20 are calling?
I'm thinking of doing a degree that'd include some English Lit now though.. so in a way, wish I'd paid attention in the first place..

Have you had a look at this lot? www3.open.ac.uk/courses/subjects/literature_page.shtm
Beware the dreaded "feminist perspective" though, seems to be all-pervasive these days...wouldn't mind sitting in on the seminar when you get the chance to tackle that though!
You can mix & match courses with the OU so if you don't want to do Eng Lit exclusively there's plenty of others to consider. Not an expensive option either.
