Hi everyone (especially MG)

So the Entry I would like MG to mark for weeks 7-12 is my week nine entry. Its one of the only weeks I didn’t try something poetic, but I was still pretty happy with how it turned out. Also, I think the concept that ‘all the worlds a stage’ (which is what this entry was built upon) really sums up most of what we have ( Read more... )

Hey everyone.

Wow. I cant believe its week 12. This semester went by so, so fast, and I’m really quite sad that our Shakespeare class is over. I’m sure learning about Blake will be quite interesting, but he isn’t Shakespeare. Ive just really, really enjoyed this past semester and I know it’s not a good thing but I will probably end up comparing ( Read more... )

I loved this weeks lecture
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooved it!!

The Shakespeare guy (Matt) was awesome, and I loved doing all the drama warm ups. It reminded me how much I miss studying drama as a subject. Being allocated uni time and unit credits for walking around the room in your character, and standing in a large circle ( Read more... )

This was another good week examining the intricate world of Shakespeare. I really enjoyed looking at the different responses people had to Ariel’s speech in scene 5.1, and Prospero’s rare moment of emotion in the lines “Why, that’s why dainty Ariel! I shall miss thee, but yet thou shalt have freedom”

I thought it was very interesting that while ( Read more... )

"The key question that Shakespeare asks throughout his plays though -and especially in his last play "The Tempest"- is "do we have to be on the stage all the time?" Is there a time in life when we can -if only temporarily- get off the stage, and simply be ourselves? Which self? That is an important question for any and everyone.... These are ( Read more... )

Hey everyone.
Ok, so that break definitely was not long enough for my liking, so while I struggle to get my mind working again, I shall make this entry short and sweet.
I’ve stolen something from my common place book for this week. It was inspired after reading Sonnet 18 which we had been studying for our discussion. The famous opening line of “Shall ( Read more... )

Hello all

So being the Easter Weekend, I plan on keeping this entry short and sweet. I liked the lecture this week, and the different representations of Henry IV MG showed us, and I really want to get out the one with Keanu Reeves. I think it looked great, and I love any modern movie based of Shakespeare’s works (10 things I Hate About You, and She ( Read more... )

So this week in our tutorial we spoke briefly about the Royal We, and how maybe everyone should walk around using the Royal We, as we all have so many facets to our personalities. Which then gave me/us the idea that we should write part of this livejournal using the royal we.

Our immediate impressions are that this is very strange. It would be very ( Read more... )

What an interesting week in Literature. To be honest I wasn’t really all that excited by the idea of going into the State Library (although I was a huge fan of the sleep in that accompanied it), but I actually really enjoyed it.

While the man who showed us around was…a little bit strange the library itself was so impressive. I loved that we got to ( Read more... )
