When people ask me why, I can only say that they're embarrassingly bad.<br /><br />May it also be shown in the public record that students petitioning me to join their "Don Pedro Got Jilted" group on facebook after one in-class viewing finally got me on (years ago now, but back then it was finally).<br /><br />One of the things I like best about the play is the way the source/analogues treat the scene where it's supposedly Hero in the window. Some are very skeptical and go to great lengths to establish why the Claudio character should instantly believe the worst--something Shakespeare omits from his story.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075041892999096779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-57128983187278233612011-01-12T19:43:12.566-08:002011-01-12T19:43:12.566-08:00Also... lots of naked people in the credits scene!...Also... lots of naked people in the credits scene!Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15753016063339585565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-16556061957975026252011-01-12T19:41:51.204-08:002011-01-12T19:41:51.204-08:00"Oh God that I were a man!

Well done. Have you seen the Romeo & Juliet adaptation with Leonardo di Caprio? Highly recommended.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772824060632731065noreply@blogger.com
