SHAKESPEARE

The relationship between Beatrice and Benedick is a very entertaining. Seeing how they both absolutely “despise” each other in the beginning of the play, and then dramatically changing their opinions into an extreme case of love gives quite a plot scheme. Beatrice is not the kind of women who takes crap off of anybody especially a man. She is strong willed and very intelligent, giving her a heads up on any man who unknowingly challenges her. It is revealed that before the time of the play, Beatrice and Benedick married for no more than a weeks time. There is always a lot of tension within the group whenever the two are together. Benedick knows that in a straight up argument, he will eventually lose to the wit of Beatrice’s words, so Benedick always tries to end the lexicon by walking away from her, which annoys here even more.
I like Benedick because he is a little cocky and stubborn about who and what he is. But I like the way he caries himself. Because even though he is always thinking very highly of himself, he has much humor to whatever he says. Even when he is alone, he seems to be trying to make himself laugh, which I can relate to because everything must be entertaining in order for me to stay focused. Also, the relationship is very funny because thy act like kids in 4th grade because of how they argue. The movie also depicts the scene where they find out about the other one loving the other very differently. In the actual play, it seems as if it was very cal m when each heard the news. But in the movie, they both were like “hi” or something. I mean Benedick was playing in a fountain while she was singing and swinging on a swing-set.
Benedick is one of my favorite characters in the play. He is very entertaining and also very smart which is always a plus.

POEM OF THE DIA

i carry your heart with me by E. E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Shake 'n' bake Shakespeare

My previous experiences with William Shakespeare have been phenomonal. As you already know, I read Hamlet in the fall of 2007, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Upon my reading of Hamlet, I discovered something about myself. I love Shakespeare. He has a really, really, really attractive first name. Furthermore, understanding Ye Olde Englishe comes very naturally to my intellect. The lexicons within Shakespeare’s plays are entirely reminiscent of those within my own, personal play, The Tragedy of William Ye Hadley Bixby. I feel like the merchant in the Merchant of Venice because everybody only sees him as a Jew. I am not a Jew. However, people see nothing more of me than dashing good looks and a spectacular physique. But, after having read the ending to the Merchant of Venice, I found out that the things that people say or think about you are not the most important aspect of life. Shakespeare helped me mature into the dangerously good-looking and classy young man that I am today. He shaped the bildungsroman of my life. Not only as he influenced my life, he has influenced that lives of other writers throughout the ages. I love Shakespeare, and I am looking forward to participating in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of a class.
