Where do I start?
"I shall laugh myself to death at this puppy-headed monster. A most scurvy monster. I could find in my heart to beat--" (Shakespear 106).
I really don't know why I picked this quote, but I didn't really have a reason for chosing any of the other ones. This play I think is really going to be a challenge for writing this weeks paper. Not only am I still confused from our discussion last week, but I have no idea how I'm supposed to write a paper onauthor intent about Shakespear when I think I missed the mark on last week's paper which was only about a short story. I'm not even sure where to start. What I enjoyed most about this play was that it was a faster read than what I thought it was going to be. Thank God.

Katie, yes, it is all pretty overwhelming and I hope your paper went well for you. I’ll tell you what your quote makes me think about though. It reminds me of Hard Love by Ellen Wittlinger which is the book we are reading in Literature for Young Adults. John (the protagonist) comments that, “Marisol made up a list of insults using Shakespearean language for which I could imagine numerous possible uses. It made the insults even better that the insultees wouldn’t have a clue what you were saying. You could mix and match to suit the situation. I could think of several beslubbering fen-sucked canker-blossoms I now had the vocabulary to slander” (14). So, when I read your quote and see “puppy-headed monster,” I mentally add this insult to my list ;-)
Greta, that is so funny, because I had Hard Love on my mind as I was reading this too, before I read your comment! I found this week's paper a bit difficult too, Katie. I had trouble getting started too. I could only think of alternate author's intent readings that I could do for The Yellow Wall Paper, not for Shakespeare. I find sometimes that if I don't think too much about it, an idea comes to me and then I can run with it, if that makes any sense. I hope you were able to figure it out, though!
