5 Things I Learnt...

Here are the 5 things I learnt over the last 2 weeks.
  1. Morality plays follow the fate of an individual in which the main character is supposed to represent all mankind. They're normally about saving your soul and avoiding temptation etc, but are less bible focused and try to engage the audience more.
  2. Copernicus said the sun, not earth, was the centre of the universe. 
  3. Friars were religious men who traveled. =P
  4. Styx, Acheron and Phlegethon are all rivers of the underworld.
  5. To put horns on a mans head was a Shakespearean insult which suggested the man's wife was sleeping around.
Can't wait to use all this in the exam!! Oh, wait.....

  1. Looks like a real boost to your AO4 knowledge. Now we just have to apply it properly in your essays. Good stuff.
