"I came back to Elsinore on the trail of the killers of my father---"

YOU WIN AT COMMENTARY. Right there. Hee!

[cesario]

I am so ashamed. And yet, how could I resist?

Oh! Oh!
Do Othello next!!!!!

[lovefromgirl]

Ditto! I'd love to hear your take on it.

[cesario]

I definitely will do Othello eventually.

I love Hamlet. And I love these posts. *beams happily at you*

[cesario]

yay!

Richard III!

PS: I'm loving this like whoa.

[cesario]

I doubt I'll do Richard III next, because when I do that one I'm going to do it all of a chunk with the Henry VI's. But it will come. :)

by Saint Patrick? Seriously?

Hamlet claims to be considering suicide during That Monologue, but I'm of the party that believes he's acting for Polonius and Claudius there. (He certainly lies in it. We can talk about whether he'd do that anyway when we get there. :D)

I vote for Love's Labour's next! Because I'm working on it and I want to hear what everybody has to say! And, you know, everybody except one offstage guy (and one offstage deer) are still ALIVE at the end.

Re: by Saint Patrick? Seriously?

I automatically discounted The Monologue because I'm of your mind for that---I assume any and everything he says after "where is your father?" is performance. Not that it's not also Hamlet, because he performs himself, but there's that extra layer there.

I have never read LLL. I will put it into the pile to consider. :)
