| Description | The presentation focused on the connections between Sublime and Love in two works by William Shakespeare respectively Hamlet and Othello. It discuss the sublime from the aesthetic perspective given by Immanuel Kant, where it represents mainly the male values, which were identified in Hamlet and Othello as characters, and also on the sublime defined by Edmund Burke, its representation by the dark. Edmund Burke contrasted this dark sublime with love, which was in the presentation also viewed as the opposite force and it was found in the female protagonists of both plays, Desdemona and Ophellia. The presentation therefore combined these two different sublime theories and showed their representations on female and male characters in both plays. |
