I really like that we are starting to see ideas that we talked about in Non-West in Shakespeare, because it makes things more clear for me. If I don’t quite get it in one class I tend to understand it in the next class. When we discussed Orientalism in Non-West I thought I understood it, but than we discussed it in this class I realized I didn’t get the full concept of it. Now I get that it is people’s ideas from the West constructing the people from the East. Although these ideas really aren’t always true, they are stereotypes and myths. I am not sure what I understood it as before, but I now know it wasn’t the right idea. Now I will be able to connect it to my readings better, without struggling to pull things ideas that end up being wrong in the end.
