Notes

【Course Objectives】

Students will improve their communication skills in English by participating in group discussions in class based on questions accompanying their weekly reading assignments. They will also develop their writing skills in completing an essay of 1000-1200 words based on the text studied in class.

【Course Contents】

The title phrase "a taste of honey" would appear to refer to a verse in the Bible, 1 Samuel 14:43. In this passage Saul has issued an order that no one should eat food before he has revenged himself on his enemies. Jonathan tastes some honey, and he confesses to Saul, "I tasted a little honey with the tip of the staff that was in my hand; here I am, I will die." In Shelagh Delaney's A Taste of Honey (1958), Jo has a brief moment of happiness with a sailor, spending the night with him. Like Jonathan, who breaks Saul's rule, Jo goes against the social rules of her day. She violates taboos by engaging in premarital sex and an interracial relationship. Jo becomes pregnant and, like Jonathan in the Bible, she asks whether she must be punished for seeking a small portion of happiness. In this course we will examine themes such as teenage pregnancy, race and racism, and homosexuality in 20th-Century Britain. Students are required to prepare the assigned reading and participate in class activities. An oral presentation is also required.
