The reason I go to university has been revealed...

[aka_anonymous]

I'm in Shakespeare class right now and we're discussing The Merchant of Venice and the guy in the back row just blurted out that Antonio is gay. (I of course shouted out, "YES!") Now we are going through the whole book and picking out the passages of love declaration between Bassanio and Antonio.

^______________^ I am a happy slash fangirl.

Is your phone working?

[aka_anonymous]

...crap. Did I forget to plug that in...from when it died three days ago? Oops. *Sheepish*

[nemkess]

*facepalm*

Well, when you get it charged, I've left you one message for each day.

Shit. I'm such an airhead when it comes to stuff like that. *Goes to find if phone is done charging*

...it's obviously been too long since I've seen the play. Some actors, obviously, don't know the meaning of subtext ^___~

I looked it up on Wikipedia during class break and they have a full section on the possibility. Yay for ol' Willie boy, making people guess two hundred years later. ^_~

...*checks up as well* well, damn. This is cool ^___^

Why did we have to do King Lear in HS? Bring on the slash! (I swear, my teachers only chose tragedies...)

[aka_anonymous]

We've already done Lear, plus Othello and Macbeth, all in a row. Merchant and now The Tempest are a nice end of the quarter relief.

I'm still kinda expecting everyone to die...*Sigh*

You have an awesome class ^^. There are some uber conservatives in my school, so I avoid slashy talks around them (... it's not my fault if they overhear my comversations!)

What was so funny about it was that I DIDN'T START IT! I though about bringing it up, but then figured I was reading too much into it, being a consumate slasher. There's a quiet guy in the back of the room who blurted it out, first thing in the discussion, and the professor had a list of quotes that both backed up Antonio's "unrequited" and/or "brotherly" affections. It made my inner fangirl squee.

This is university, classes are much more interactive and open, since we're paying a lot to be there. We want our moneys worth and there's little possibility of there being any juvenille responses. That's one of the big differences from high school.
