By now I
would assume you’ve been strenuously revising, your eyes are weary from all the
notes you’ve made, and you fancy a bit of a break. I’ve found some adaptations/interpretations
of these texts in modern pop culture for you to enjoy as you take a breather!
William Blake
'Tis Pity She's a Whore
There's a track on David Bowie's album Blackstar titled 'Tis Pity She Was a Whore (cannot link to on Youtube due to copyright) which I suggest you give a listen to.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
It may seem a waste of time to look through these but I think it's important to consider modern adaptations of literary works to see the changes that have been made so that they are more appropriate for modern audiences, and what led directors, songwriters, poets, etc. to make these alterations. And it's certainly a nice change from just reading over notes!
