Shakespeare Debate

When Shakespeare's writing is interpreted into modern ways, we lose its original beauty and meaning(POETRY) and are unable to fully appreciate his work.  By taking his work for example and using Homer Simpson as Shakespeare character we are only insulting Shakespeare and his timeless work. 

PART II

Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's classics. I want to take a look at the illustrations of the most tragic love seen, when Romeo and Juliet both kill themselves.

Pgs 182-184

Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.

I will kiss thy lips.

Some poison yet doth hang on them to, 

make me die.

Thy lips are warm

O happy dagger.

This is they sheath

There rust and let me die.  

I feel this scene that the author has illustrated is very engaging.  I feel this is very accurate and think the author did a good job choosing the right lines from Shakespeare's play.  He illustrations are appealing in a way that even if the reader has never read Romeo and Juliet before, they will be able to take a lot from these pages.  The author used important quotes which are still very famous today. I was able to get the same interpretation from the text and illustrations that I did, when I first read the play. 

PART III

I want to discuss Hermia's and Helena's relationship. There relationship first interested me in the beginning of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Throughout Shakespeare's play we find out that these two character's are completely different from each other. Helena wishes she could only be as fair a Hermia. Helena scorns/yells as Helena for taking Lysander love away from her. 

O me! You juggler, you cankerblossom,

You thief of love! What, have you come by night

And stol'n my love's heart from him
