101. Ask a Shakespeare Professor

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome to Shakespeare 101! It’s a perfectly fitting episode number for today as we invite a Shakespeare professor to answer YOUR questions about the Bard’s staying power, how to read his works, and how to interpret Lady Macbeth. We always say we won’t get TOO academic here, but we’re getting</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">pretty</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">academic thanks to Chelsey’s former Shakespeare professor.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /> <br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Professor Doug Green taught at Augsburg University</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">including Shakespeare and Renaissance literature, writing, drama, and film. He also helped develop and taught Augsburg’s first course in queer studies. He has</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">an abundance of knowledge and advice to share with us as we read</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Macbeth</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">together this month, so jump in and travel back to the college classroom with us today. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Books, authors, and resources mentioned:</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780140424393"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Paradise Lost</span></em></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">by John Milton</span></p> <p><a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9781499394597"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Samson Agonistes</span></em></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">by John Milton</span></p> <p><a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780199538133"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Pilgrim’s Progress</span></em></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by John Bunyan </span></p> <p><a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9789353427740"><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Bacchae of Euripedes</span></em></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780451218599"><em><span
