    Casserole is definitely a good idea – compared to the alternatives in the book she’s reading!

    Looks like meat loaf to me! But with mustard, not ketchup!

    What always stuck with me from Shakespeare classes, was that in his time nunneries were notorious for being exactly the opposite from what they are in modern times. So when a character says “Get thee to a nunnery,” they mean a brothel.

    Hmm, Jan, you should look up what “Nunnery” meant in Elizabethan slang.

    “A Mid-Summers Nights Dream was not one of Shakespeare’s better plays, I preferred Hamlet.”

    I prefer Hamlet as well (can you tell?), but Midsummer Nights Dream is still a great play (as well as popular; for every Hamlet you get a chance to see performed, there’ll be a dozen Dreams).

    Particularly with the comedies, it’s important to see a Shakespeare play done by people who know how to do it. A few years back I got the opportunity to see Midsummer Nights Dream at the Globe replica theatre in London. I laughed my Bottom off.

    In my opinion, this is one of the best reasons for getting some Shakespeare in school: A peek at the day-to-day life of centuries ago as versus the boring stuff in history books. Too many kids have no concept of what happened even ten years before they were born (ask a few about Watergate). To them, the world has always been the way they’ve known it.

    And I would totally correct my spelling of particular, but I am too lazy to retype all that!

    In spirit only.

    Sad to think that in our day and time, women in some countries have virtually no rights and are mistreated . . . yes, men get mistreated too, and there are abuses in our country.

    Boone’s Farm/Annie Green Springs way too sweet for meat loaf. Methinks(in the spirit of Shakespeare) a full-bodied red instead. Years ago at old OU I had the interesting experience of seeing Rosenkranz and Hamlet back to back. The former was performed much better, and held the audience’s attention. The Hamlet was slow and boring. Still and all I like Shakespeare, I thought Shakespeare in Love several years ago was an interesting take on the times.
