Hi, Giselle. Your blog has enough entries and covers all the requirements. You should add a link to your recording in Rome, and maybe an entry to two that ties specifically to your own interests/connections on the trips based on your pre-travel entry. I’d love to hear how you’d compare the Capuchin Crypt to catacombs in Rome, and/or to the scene in the Capulet crypt in Romeo & Juliet, for example. Your final project approach to look at women in a non-woman centered play sounds promising–I’d be interested to see how that might apply to Caesar or Coriolanus.

Nice job emphasizing the tone of betrayal that comes out when you see the scene acted. A couple of things that will help your posts support you when you study: cite specific lines that are key to your understanding. For example, when Volumnia says she prefers death to dishonor, what particularly strikes you in this moment? Does it connect to earlier moments in the play? Is her character consistent, or does she change? Using small quotes as ways to connect specific scenes can really help when you are studying for an exam or writing a paper.

Work on your MLA format for your sources. You did a good job at analysing the source, now relate it to your topic. Is your theme women of the period? If so you choose sources that display such ideas. If you had trouble finding sources, I suggest looking in feminist journals. perhaps you will find articles that can be linked back to the text
