Whedon and Shakespeare

[gillo]

This is the essay I was docked five marks on, because it was submitted nine minutes late. Ah well. The mark was 68, a high merit, so it's now 63, still in the same range. (Three grades - pass, merit, distinction.)

I thought you guys might enjoy reading it. A big shout-out to beer_good_foamy, who allowed me to cite a piece of his.

Oh, very nicely done! Thanks for sharing!

[gillo]

Thank *you* for reading!

Oh, and thanks, I've been meaning to order the DVD so I just did that...less than $6 on Amazon!

Well worth it, IMO.

That was fascinating. You make many points about Joss and Shakespeare that I really hadn't thought of. I wonder if one day Joss will be considered "high" culture in the same way Shakespeare is now but probably wasn't in his own time.

[gillo]

Thank you. I don't think Joss himself thinks so, but you never know...

This was really cool. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.

It's sad you got docked simply for being nine minutes late. :(

Thanks. It's annoying, but it's not as if I need a specific grade or anything.
