Module 3: Allegory and
Art
In this module, we read
(or listened to) four literary works.
Excerpt from Beowulf (Links to an
external site.) (also available as an audio file
in the lesson)
Excerpt from
Dante's Divine Comedy (Links
to an external site.)
Act 2, Scene 1 from
Shakespeare's The Tempest (Links
to an external site.)
Grove Art: Allegory in Renaissance
Italy (Links to an external site.)
In addition, we
encountered several works of art that utilize allegory to express theme.
Allegory was common during medieval times and survived through the Renaissance.
Allegory shows up even today, for example in The Shack, a religious novel published recently in
America.What is allegory?
Where do you see it in
Dante’s work? Where do you see what might be the beginnings of allegory in the
work of the Beowulf author?
And knowing what you know about Shakespeare from the Discover this module, why
does his work lack much allegory?
