Yep. But that was twenty years ago for me. :)

He is nothing but a fraud, it was all Sir Francis Bacon.

I've heard some interesting theories saying different people wrote all those plays, and Shakespeare was just a name derived from a symbol to hide the identities of these people...donno.

Adolf von Baeyer and the culture behind his timeperiod and nation. Beat that for utter boredom, his timeperiod was too late for Napoleon and too early for WW1. Argh.

I'm in a shakespeare class.

Love it, so its all good.

Or you can help me plan a presentation on pre-war eastern Europe. This includes, Hungary, Albania, Yugoslavia, Austria, Bulgaria and Romania.

Persuasive essay on taxing churches that take political actions?

Studying for a test on the idea of democracy with selected works from 10 different individuals?


German 102 test?

Actual essay titles produced by my good self:

Abraham, Bartleby and the Impossibility of Avoiding Responsibility.
The Will to Nothingness And Suicide
Thomas Mann: The Aesthetic and the Psyche in Death In Venice
Chrisitanity, Nihilism and the Will to Equality in Nietzsche

Laugh a minute stuff, eh? This is the kind of thing that prevented me from getting invited to parties.

After all these the next one felt like comic relief:

Eroticism and the Plethoric Fluids

I no longer even know what the word 'plethoric' means without consulting a work of reference.

Makes my essay How does complexity reconceptualise traditional linear developement? seem like a barrel of laughs.

I can't put my hand on my Deleuze & Guattari essay at the moment, but it had the catchy title of something like:

Smooth and Striated Space: Machinic Assemblages, the Neo-Nomadic War Machine and the Concept of the Fleet-In-Being

I seem to vaguely recall that it had something to do with nuclear submarines, Lewis Caroll's map of the ocean from The Hunting Of The Snark and the fact that American victory in the first Gulf War had a great deal to do with the fact that the deserts of the Tigris-Euphrate's river basin were not choked with trees, unlike the Mekong Delta, where vegetation was actually the deciding factor in the conflict.

EDIT: coherent thought on a single topic without dragging in seemingly spurious analogies was never my strong point.

I can't even remember what my essay on Lacan was titled - something to do with the male gaze and the fact that it contained within it the constant acknowledgement of a fear of castration.

EDIT: linear development of what, pray tell?

Pre-world war 2??
I would actually do that, for like, fun

I am doing shakespeare too. *Shakes fist at Romeo and Juliet* They ruined the 96 average I achieved by reading Great Expectations.

For some reason I'm feeling vindicated in my decision not to take philosophy (for a change)

Economic and political systems within countries IIRC

Arts co-opting scientific language and concepts to an extent that would make Alan Sokal proud as I recall. I cannot quite remember how, but somehow fluid dynamics and biological evolution got in their somehow.

Shakespeare was an annoying dumbass who became famous because he wrote a bunch of crappy stories (While taking the main ideas from other people) and made a bunch of words we use today.

Trahnite Shakespeare

It was actually a damn good essay, even if I do say so myself - the whole point of nuclear armed submarines is that they become lost, and thus inhabit the same space as that of non-city dwelling nomadic warbands.

My one regret is that I never managed to convince my tutors to accept a potential essay which I had prospectively entitled The Knowing of Impossibility and the Impossibility of Knowing.

Kewl. A classmate wrote his contemporary issues in post-modernism essay on the works of Joy Division employing the language of the aforementioned Deleuze & Guattari and explained at great length how they had accelerated their creative velocity by gravitational slingshots around black holes, only to inevitably collide with white walls. It is one of my few consolations in life that I never sunk that low.

I'm sure it was, it just sounded like I was right in thinking philosophy wasn't for me.

Many, many times. More than I care to remember. :eek:

I love Shakespeare, i got 91% in the quarter of English that dealt with only him. I was always good at English though. He's my favorite writer, and speaking of Great Expectations, i've never liked Dickens.

Pre-world war 2??

It's not fun when other groups get topics like the rise of hitler, the rise of facism in Italy, culture between wars or the Spanish Civil war. It's just not fair.

I did a long paper last semester in which I compared several Shakespearean plays to Lord of the Rings. Got an A on the paper and the class.

I never had the courage to ask.

Comparing the view of humanity in Shakespeare to the view in Lord of the Rings? That would be a very interesting essay to write.

Got me an A in my best semester ever, academically.

I feel for ya' I once (20+ years ago) had to write a paper that compared the view of women and women's issues espoused in Shakespeare's works with the view set forth in the novels of the Bronte sisters. I concluded that Shakespeare would have been better if it had been called "Romeo & Jane Eyre" or "The Taming of the Heathcliff."
