Annotation of Act 4 Scene 3

Annotation:
Reminds me of all the trail running I am doing during the pandemic. Also of the composition of trail runners -mostly white.

Annotation of The Winter's Tale

Annotation:
Some modern editor decided that men should always come first and women second. And also decided that Paulina was only important to acknolwedge vis-a-vis her husband Antigonus & as a lady in waiting to Hermione, even though she is independently important throughout the play.

Annotation of Act 1 Scene 2

Annotation:
Issue of breeding anticipates the dispute over the baby., I have a friend who calls women with children "breeders." The veils of civilization (good breeding) fall when Hermione is accused of adultery -we see that she is only important to Leontes as a breeder for his children. Interesting how the discourse around the right to wear a mask is ridiculously linked to the pro-choice movement (My body, my choice), as if most of those people ever cared about a woman's choice.

Annotation of Act 1 Scene 1

Annotation:
Oh, the monarchy, where dynastic succession relies on bloodlines. Who's to say if Mammilius would even be a good king? White supremacy works psychologically to keep non-white people in power, too.

Annotation of Act 1 Scene 1

Annotation:
I love how children give hope and joy to even the infirm. Children give us a reason to keep on living when things get personally challenging.

	Some questions to consider when annotating: What’s happening with COVID-19 in your life, your community, your country? Add a note to the bottom of your annotation. How does your own experience of the COVID-19 pandemic inform how you read Shakespeare? How does Shakespeare inform your response to COVID-19? Are there any recent personal or public developments in your experience that you see mirrored in the texts? How do we define an “illness”? Aside from physical disease, are there any deviant identities, ideas, emotions, or behaviors that are more broadly characterized as “sick” in the texts and in our societies? What “social pandemics” do you see being defined, regulated, combatted, or even encouraged, both in the plays and in your current cultural discourse? How are conversations in and about Shakespeare mediated by experiences of race, religion, ethnicity, class, and gender? How is your own response to COVID-19 mediated by your personal and public experiences of race, religion, ethnicity, class, and gender? What social power dynamics do you see reinforced (or challenged) in the plays? What does it mean for us to find common ground in Shakespeare, a white male author who carries his own literary, racial, and gendered privilege? How much has really changed in our beliefs, biases, stigmas, and misunderstandings towards both literal diseases and “ills of society” in the 400+ years since Shakespeare wrote his plays? You have the option of adding your own tags or picking a tag category when you create an annotation (or both!) this feature will help others find your annotations.
