Covenantal Shakespeare – The Comedies

If I pursue a short course on Shakespeare’s comedies, I would emphasize three things.

1. The covenant
2. The arc from “wrath to grace”
3. How the comedy redeems the idol that ruins its companion tragedy

I know what my pairs would be for HIERARCHY through SUCCESSION.

TRAGEDY                                        COMEDY

Romeo and Juliet                           Midsummer Night’s Dream

Hamlet                                            The Merchant of Venice

Macbeth                                          Measure for Measure

King Lear                                         A Winter’s Tale

I suspect my companion for Julius Caesar could be The Tempest.
