Mehso-so

It‘s hard to get into reading Shakespeare. My 9th grader is reading this next semester, so I dragged myself through the 92 pages. I‘ll have to watch a movie or go see the play…

Susanita I still need to watch the version with Denzel. 1w

Hamlet | William Shakespeare
post image

I saw the most incredible adaptation of Hamlet last night. I had no idea that I was buying tickets to a wordless ballet, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm struggling to describe the genius of Guillaume Cote and his company, and I fear I won't do it justice if I try. Just know that I've never been so sucked into a performance that I didn't want to risk looking away even for a moment. I'm very grateful that they decided to come through our town.

My favorite Shakespearean play has my favorite Three Witches. They are deliciously evil.
“Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.“ 🖤🧹🖤

BookmarkTavern Oh yes! A most excellent choice! Thanks for posting! 4w

I made another attempt at reading this classic and I so badly wanted to like it and I couldn‘t even finish it. I know I‘m a minority in this but I‘ve always thought Ibsen was a better playwright.

BookNook You're not alone. Among Shakespeare's critics you have, T.S. Eliot who declared: “Hamlet... is an artistic failure“, stating it was a “mismatch between emotion and object.” Leo Tolstoy hated Shakespeare altogether calling his plays “trivial and positively bad,” and said people admired them only because of cultural pressure. He thought Hamlet was confused, immoral, and full of nonsense. (edited) 2mo
Pip2 @BookNook I really enjoyed your reply. I love classic literature but could never understand why I could never enjoy Shakespeare like some of my counterparts. I have to say your comment made me feel some solace, especially as I love most of Tolstoy‘s works. I am definitely more aligned with Tolstoy than Shakespeare. I also enjoy T.S Eliot‘s works. Just because something is prominent in the genre, doesn‘t mean that is what is true to your heart. 1mo

I‘m in Stratford Ontario this week, enjoying the theatre festival. Today‘s our last day, with As You Like It and Danté‘s Inferno on the agenda. Favourite so far is a difficult choice, but I think I will never again see such a remarkable production of Macbeth as Robert Lepage‘s, which is set amidst a biker gang in the 1990s. ?❤️

Amiable How fun! 2mo
mcctrish I‘m going to see Anne in November with my sister, I saw Sense & Sensibility in July. How amazing that you could just immerse yourself for a week in theatre awesomeness 2mo

Lindy @Reggie Macbeth‘s court is a motor court motel—brilliant set with use of mirrors and actual motorcycles on stage. Mesmerizing! 2mo

Leslie_Ak2Oh While I loved the cinematography and the acting of this movie, I can‘t help but think “Out of all of Shakespeare‘s stories, Romeo and Juliet has always & will always be the one I hated most.”Hahahaha I have a host of reasons, but the biggest one being the priest….. 2mo
