The Great Shakespearean Adventure: Hamlet

Feb 22, 2008 12:59

Well, after exhaustive market-testing and subject research, I have struck upon a way to present my Shakespearean forays to the blogosphere. I found a copy of the play online and I'm cutting and pasting lines I've got something to say about ( Read more... )

shakespeare, reading: hamlet

Oh my GOD, your icon brought back so many childhood memories.

I hope they were good ones.

I made them from screencaps that can be found at far2far_away -she's got a bazillion of them.

I arrive at all wisdom via irreverence. It's...my style. :-D

This is AWESOME, thank you!

(And, whilst Claudius might be a sexy biatch, when it comes to international relations he's awful on a world-class scale, no? :) )

Mmmm, thank you for this. I've never had the patience to sit down and slog on through -- but with your interjections, it's far easier. This is the sort of discussion I would've loved to have in English classes. :-)

There was a time when I absolutely did not get Shakespeare at all. The advice I got was "slow down"---not easy, for a speed reader, but it changed everything.

oh. my. gods. Your icon. ♥

For me, it was performing the stuff that got me really into it. The words were pretty but powerless until I put myself in the characters' shoes -- the exception being Julius Caesar, which I slashed all to hell. ;-)

ok, this coupled with the conversation i had with a coworker yesterday who had never read or seen any shakespeare ever have combined to make me break out my complete works for the first time in a couple years.

thank you.
