[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 2785852, member: 11300"] Hi ForceUser, I've been meaning to comment for a while on your Story Hour but the Shakespeare Essay has forced my hand. Firstly I'd like to commend you on an excellent story hour. There is a richness to your writing and the world you write about that purely blossoms upon the page. Please if possible, keep it up. Secondly on your essay, you provide a very lucid and solid argument. Unfortunately, my second job is as a maths tutor so technically, that means I'm supposed to a) have no idea about Shakespeare and b) have no competency when it comes to writing. I do my best to defy the stereotype. ;) In my completely unprofessional opinion, any response that highlights Shakespeare as entertainment rather some type of allegorical sermon is on the money. I will never forget the first time I studied shakespeare (I think it was back in 1987). Our class as diligent as it was wrote our poxy responses and handed them in along with a cassette recording of us reading a scene. We SO had no idea. Mrs Smith when handing back the assignments looked sternly at the class before calling out a name and then ripping their response to pieces. We were in total shock as she did this for the entire class. She ripped up the work of all 28 students. She then told us (excuse my paraphrasing): [b]Shakespeare is not read! Shakespeare is performed and thus watched, heard and felt. For the rest of your academic careers [i]please[/i] remember this. I want this redone for tomorrow. Any reference to a book, or lines upon a page or something that does not convey that Shakespeare was performed and that person will be out of my class and you can go back to Charlotte's Web with the idiots in the next class.[/b] Best lesson I think I ever had. Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
