Jess_Read_This I still am completed grossed out with the idea of a snake heading towards his open mouth! It‘s worse than the idea of swallowing spiders in your sleep! 7y
GingerAntics @Jess_Read_This EW!!! Both of those gross me out. I‘m not sure which I find more gross, snakes or spiders. Yuck. 7y
readinginthedark 😅Yeah, at least a snake isn‘t likely to do that in reality! @Jess_Read_This 7y

What can I say? I love that the fight scene takes place offstage. Like ... surprise! Also, anyone else think it‘s a little off-putting how smitten the brothers are with “Fidele”? Like, “oh, if thou were a woman, I‘d woo thee!” “Oh, if Death were at the door, I‘d say ‘take Dad, don‘t take this ... uh, strange boy that I just met yesterday!‘” Totally normal 👌🏼

Jess_Read_This I‘m glad you brought that up. It was incredibly off putting and I was left wondering “why? Just why?” 7y
CSeydel @Jess_Read_This I guess I assumed it was Shakespeare‘s way of emphasizing that despite their “low” upbringing, the “high” blood would come through? That they had this instant connection with Imogen because they were all of royal blood? Divine right of kings, that sort of thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 7y
GingerAntics AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 7y

readinginthedark Yeah, I was wondering about that Death part! Little excessive... Maybe they‘re just tired of looking at each other? 😆 7y
mrsmarch Also, keep in mind that Imogen/Fidele would have been played by a male actor in Shakespeare‘s time? Weeirrddd..... 7y

So much torture in #cymbeline #act4. Officially all caught up, and ready to start on act 5 today. Seems like Cymbeline finally understands just how much he's losing by being a jerk and forcing his daughter and step son together...or he's just pouting that he still hasn't gotten his way. It's always a bit hard to tell with kings. #shakespeare #shakespearereadalong #act4scene3
