ITL 411 WITCHES, WENCHES, AND WARRIORS
This course examines female archetypal roles within Italian 16th century epic romances. Through a theoretical lens, the course investigates three archetypal characters: the witch, the “wench,” and the warrior. We will explore these figures’ roots in classical myth and their persistence in contemporary culture, with supplementary material from Game of Thrones, Wonder Woman, I am Malala, and others.
Notes
Course is in English. This course may include an optional section that will meet for an additional hour each week to discuss supplemental readings in Italian. Students participating in the foreign language section will receive one additional credit hour, pass/not passed marking.
