HUMN 303 Week 3 DQ 1 Theater
HUMN 303 Week 3 DQ 1 Theater
In this thread, let’s discuss the
power and limitations of theatrical imagination. Please feel free to draw from
productions you have seen. (The old high school productions count, too!)
Why are we willing to suspend disbelief when we see a play, yet we demand so
much more from a film production? Do you think that the limitation on special
effects and alternative demand on the audience member to suspend disbelief is a
weakness or a strength of the theatrical experience? Would you rather see The
Tempest on stage or in film? Why?

HUMN 303 Week 3 DQ 2 Allegory and Art
This week, we have looked at several
works of art that utilized allegorical themes. One of the most common uses of
imagery in the medieval and Renaissance periods is allegory. What is an
allegory? Describe how at least one of the examples of art in this week’s
lecture or one of this week’s readings is allegorical in nature. Why, in your
opinion, was allegory so prevalent during these periods? Is it still important
in contemporary literature? Why or why not?
