As I mentioned before Hamlet was my Classics Club spin pick. I put off reading it until literally the last day of May, and I finished it in one day while accomplishing other things like a ridiculously long process of hanging a very high curtain rod that possibly triggered a large nosebleed, but that is… Continue reading Hamlet

Shakespeare Tag
So PioneerGirl from Tearoom Time blog tagged me with this awesome Shakespeare tag. Now, I feel like I’ve done a lot of the same or similar themed tags or ones where I gave them same answers, but this one, like the fairytale tag is like a breath of fresh air, and the last question is… Continue reading Shakespeare Tag
The Music Man
We went and saw two high school/middle school theater productions in the past few weeks. One was Pride and Prejudice which I must say was rather mediocre, especially in light of the second production. I do not think the story lends itself well to play format anyway though. The other performance was The Music Man. I… Continue reading The Music Man
The Importance of Being Earnest Movie
I watched this with a group of people a couple months ago. I read the play last year, but I forgot a lot of it although I know I laughed aloud while reading it. Algie is my favorite (I think he was my favorite in the play too or I liked him more than I… Continue reading The Importance of Being Earnest Movie
Othello Mini-Review
Again, a required read for class.

Okay not quite, Cassio… Continue reading Othello Mini-Review
King Lear Mini-Review
I read this for my Shakespeare class. This is one of my least favorite of Shakespeare’s plays; one of the worst Shakespeare plays, I think. I “had” to read it for a class and dissect it, and that certainly did not invite me to enjoy the play, but I still do not think I would have… Continue reading King Lear Mini-Review
Measure for Measure
Angelo immediately enforces Vienna’s previously neglected harsh laws against immorality. What I cannot make out is if this was against the Duke’s wishs, concurrent with them or neutral. To what end did the Duke observe Vienna in disguise? He already knew the effects caused by his neglect of punishment. Was he thinking about making Angelo… Continue reading Measure for Measure
Midsummer Night’s Dream
I have been on a reading spree ever since I have finished with school on Friday May 4th, and it was mostly a Shakespeare reading rush in the beginning. That last day of school I started A Midsummer Night’s Dream and finished it the next day. To date I have read twelve plays since the… Continue reading Midsummer Night’s Dream
