September 17,2008

We have read the following poems Shakespearean sonnets:
Sonnet XVIII, Sonnet 29, 116, and 130 (audio)

Do Now: Recall Shakespeare’s poems above and write a brief commentary on the portrayal of women in the Renaissance. You can look at the images and think about whether they seem idealized or realistic.

How does the portrayal of women in the paintings of the period compare with the portrayal of women today such as Tyra Banks, Lindsay Lohan, Queen Latifah, Jesse Randhawa, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Seymour?
