V for Vendetta and Caesar - Module
English (Advanced)
5 Pages • Topic Notes • Year: Pre-2021
If you wish to do well in this particular module you must have multiple answers for each of these three questions and lots of quotes to back up your points. Of course, this is also the module where questions of timelessness and the human condition are the most relevant. When studying your texts, consider how much the outlook of the people have changed and most notably, what concerns seem to go on throughout time. As a case study, I’ve decided to compare William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince. The time period in question is between 1513 and 1599. Before diving into the contextual analysis, first consider the time frame here. The people who were living in 1513 would be the great grandparents of those living in 1599. How much do you have in common with your grandparents? Add one more generation. Machiavelli was living in Italy around the time when the Roman Catholic Church was deeply influential and the hypocrisy of portions of the clergy were very well known. This was also just over half a century after Johannes Gutenberg had the bright idea of turning a wine making press into a book printing press. Monks and scribes would rejoice! No more would they have to painstakingly copy books by hand, now they could send the books to the printer and have dozens of copies made. The price of books plummeted! As a consequence of this, more people across Europe started reading a greater variety of books. The best comparison we have for this sort of an information explosion is the modern internet.
