Ancient peoples were often much more advanced than modern people understand.

HUMN 303 Week 3 DQ 1 Theater

In this thread, lets 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
weeks lecture or one of this weeks 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?
