Much ADO about Nothing | William Shakespeare
post image
Pickpick

A comedy in which tragedy is narrowly avoided by manipulating others into thinking that a tragedy has occurred. Hmm…quite interesting. Leonato‘s soliloquy in Act V, Scene I was the most effective part to me, full of seeming anguish despite the fact he knows his daughter isn‘t dead- the real emotion seems to come from her ruined reputation. ⬇️

psalva All the drama easily avoidable via a few simple conversations of course, but I suspended disbelief and enjoyed the ride in the end. It‘s been a while since I‘ve read a Shakespeare play and this was an interesting one to dip back into. 5d

Tom Lake is on my tbr. I understand it refers to Our Town a few times. This was a quick read. Good to be knowledgeable of this classic I‘m sure.

dabbe I read TOM LAKE first (LOVED it) ... then I had to go back and reread OUR TOWN. (LOVED it way more than I did in high school!) 🤩 6d
vivastory I just checked out Tom Lake from the library. Really looking forward to it 6d
CogsOfEncouragement @dabbe parts of Our Town seemed a little familiar to me, mostly the stage manager. I‘m not sure if I saw the play eons ago or if there is just a similar narrator in something else I saw. Definitely glad I read it though. 6d

CogsOfEncouragement @vivastory enjoy! It‘s on my shortlist, but you know how that can go. lol 6d
vivastory I checked out 8 other books at the same time, so I definitely understand lol I am wanting to make it a priority. I read Patchett for the first time over the Thanksgiving holidays last year & Dutch House ended up as a favorite of the year 6d
CogsOfEncouragement @vivastory Dutch House made my top reads list of 2023 as well. 6d

My son has been assigned Shakespeare for the first time. 🤎 I decided we needed to read outside with fairy lights. My husband and I read from these two copies of mine from college, while my son read his parts from his copy from school. We had snacks and the weather was lovely. I can't wait to start Act 2 and meet Puck again.

Ruthiella What a wonderful family activity! 😃 1w

I finished reading the easy version of Romeo & Juliet with my 8th grade students. Even though the text was changed a lot they did not catch some parts of the the story. And I did not like the easy version because some of the best known quotes of this play have been changed. I prefer the original.
