Shakespeare In Love

I have to start by saying that I completely misjudged what type of movie Shakespeare In Love was going to be. I thought that it was going to be a movie with a bunch of snotty high class English people, and I thought they were going to portray William Shakespeare as and old English man. I guess my ideas go along with the myths about Shakespeare. I was very glad with the choices they made for the character roles. It made the movie much more enjoyable and completely knocked my thoughts of William Shakespeare right out of the window. I now realize that he was a “normal” person with “normal” problems. I believe this will help to make reading his works much interesting for me.

This is a good start, Angela, but in the future try to be more theoretical in your analysis. In your next blog, try to work use the New Historicism and/or film adaptation strategies, about which we'll talk next week, to perform your analysis. Paul
