Measure for Measure: Square Peg in a Round Hole!

2013-05-31T21:09:15Z

Measure for Measure is impossible to classify. It doesn't fit neatly into the Tragedy, Comedy and History lists that entire Shakespeare pages of About.com have been built around! Officially, it is classified as a comedy - but this is hardly fitting! Some critics have described it as a problem play; and now I understand why! Already we've covered the first four acts. Here they are for your delectation: <ul> <li>Act One (Scenes <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Measure-For-Measure/a/Measure-For-Measure-Act-1-Scenes-1-And-2-Analysis.htm">1-2</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Measure-For-Measure/a/measure-For-Measure-Act-1-Scenes-3-And-4-Analysis.htm">3-4</a>)</li> <li>Act Two (Scenes <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Measure-For-Measure/a/measure-For-Measure-Act-2-Scenes-1-And-2-Analysis.htm">1-2</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Measure-For-Measure/a/measure-For-Measure-Act-2-Scenes-3-And-4-Analysis.htm">3-4</a>)</li> <li>Act Three (Parts <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Measure-For-Measure/a/measure-For-Measure-Act-3-Scene-1-Analysis-part-1.htm">1</a> and <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Measure-For-Measure/a/measure-For-Measure-Act-3-Scene-1-Analysis-part-2.htm">2</a>)</li> <li>Act Four (Scenes <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Measure-For-Measure/a/measure-For-Measure-Act-4-Scene-1-Analysis.htm">1</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Measure-For-Measure/a/measure-For-Measure-Act-4-Scene-2-Analysis.htm">2</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Measure-For-Measure/a/measure-For-Measure-Act-4-Scenes-3-6-Analysis.htm">3-6</a>)</li> </ul> Enjoy!

A Midsummer Night�s Dream � Student Resources

2013-04-30T21:03:57Z

Visual: Midsummer Night�s Dream

2013-02-28T21:49:45Z

If there is one Shakespeare play that sticks in my mind, it's A Midsummer Night's Dream ... I think because it is so visual. Fairies in the wood and the head of an ass stuck on a poor fool - no other play can match this in terms of iconic visuals. Perhaps the infamous eye gouging scene from <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/kinglear/a/King-Lear-Themes.htm">King Lear</a>, or Juliet on the balcony are the only close contenders? So, this month I have turned my attention to building the study guide for A Midsummer Night's Dream, as follows: <ul> <li>Act 1 Summaries (scenes <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/A-Midsummer-Nights-Dream/a/a-Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Act-1-Scene-1-Summary.htm">1</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/A-Midsummer-Nights-Dream/a/a-Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Act-1-Scene-2-Summary.htm">2</a>) </li> <li>Act 2 Summaries (scene <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/A-Midsummer-Nights-Dream/a/a-Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Act-2-Scene-1-Summary.htm">1</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/A-Midsummer-Nights-Dream/a/a-Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Act-2-Scene-2-Summary.htm">2</a>) </li> <li>Act 3 Summaries (scene <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/A-Midsummer-Nights-Dream/a/a-Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Act-3-Scene-1-Summary.htm">1</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/A-Midsummer-Nights-Dream/a/a-Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Act-3-Scene-2-Summary.htm">2</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/A-Midsummer-Nights-Dream/a/a-Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Act-3-Scene-3-Summary.htm">3</a>) </li> <li>Act 4 Summaries (scene <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/A-Midsummer-Nights-Dream/a/a-Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Act-4-Scene-1-Summary.htm">1</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/A-Midsummer-Nights-Dream/a/a-Midsummer-Nights-Dream-Act-4-Scene-2-Summary.htm">2</a>) </li> </ul>

Shakespeare�s Theaters Return to London

2013-02-13T07:54:05Z

Some 400 years ago, Shakespeare was "king pin" in Shoreditch - London's theatre central in <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/historicalcontext/a/Renaissance.htm">Shakespeare's day</a>. Finally, it looks like the drama may return to some of Shakespeare's venues: The Curtain and <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/b/2008/09/04/shakespeares-first-theater-found.htm">The Theatre</a>. The sites of these two Jacobean theatres are seeking to become theatres once again and now have planning permissions in place. The Theatre was the original <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/theglobe/a/Shakespeares-Globe-Theatre.htm">Globe Theatre</a> and was the home of Richard Burbage's The Lord Chamberlain's Men. It was dismantled and reconstructed across the River Thames after a dispute with the landowner got out of hand! The Curtain was discovered last year and can also be traced to the Lord Chamberlain's Men. It is hoped this venue will reopen as an open-air amphitheatre.

Is Othello Really a Racist Play?

2013-01-31T21:01:09Z

I often hear Othello described as a racist play - certainly, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Othello/a/othello-Themes.htm">race is a strong theme throughout</a> - but can you really tag this play "racist"? This is, afterall, the "dark moor" who has made it in a white man's society. I know ... this is a fairly banal statement today, but in its historical context Shakespeare was taking a huge risk. At a time when non-whites were often thought of as "savage" by the general populace, Shakespeare's presentation of Othello was revolutionary. Othello is well-spoken, highly regarded and about to marry an aristocratic woman - characteristics that would have cut against popular conceptions. If you were standing in the Globe Theatre some four centuries ago, there must have been an unease amongst the spectators watching this play. I think for this reason alone, Othello is ground-breaking - the "racist" label is an ill-thought out modernism ... surely? <h3>Also this month</h3> More King Lear scenes: (Act 3 Scene <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/king-Lear-Act-3-Scene-1.htm">1</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/king-Lear-Act-3-Scene-2.htm">2</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/king-Lear-Act-3-Scene-3.htm">3</a>, 4 (part <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/King-Lear-Act-3-Scene-4.htm">1</a> & <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/king-Lear-Act-3-Scene-4-part-2.htm">2</a>), <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/king-Lear-Act-3-Scene-5.htm">5</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/king-Lear-Act-3-Scene-6.htm">6</a>, <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/king-Lear-Act-3-Scene-7.htm">7</a>; Act 4 Scene <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/King-Lear-Act-4-Scene-1.htm">1</a> and <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/King-Lear-Text/a/King-Lear-Act-4-Scene-2.htm">2</a>)

'Othello' Summary

Othello has long been overlooked on this site ... until now! Finally, leaping from the yellowing "to do list", I have put together the first round of scene by scene summaries for this classic play. The main page can be found here: <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Othello/tp/Othello-Scene-By-Scene-Summary.htm">Othello </a><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/Othello/tp/Othello-Scene-By-Scene-Summary.htm"> Scene by Scene Summary</a>.

I'm Falling in Love with The Fool

2012-10-31T20:46:06Z

<a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/kinglear/a/king-lear-overview.htm">King Lear</a> is fast becoming my favourite <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/theplays/tp/play_study_guides.htm">Shakespeare play</a> ... not quite there, but rising up the ranks! Perhaps it says something about me, but I'm falling in love with the Fool ... the character that constantly reminds <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/kinglear/a/King-Lear-Character-Analysis.htm">King Lear</a> about the consequences of his actions. It seems so safe now-a-days, but in <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://shakespeare.about.com/od/historicalcontext/a/Renaissance.htm">Renaissance England</a> where the King was considered to be divine, the Fool must have been a dangerous role! Only the court jester who could speak to the King honestly, amusing him whilst also reminding him of his humanity. That sounds like dicing with death to me!
