Shakespeare on Day 1

"To have shared such a passion- a favorite film of hers on our first day of class is something." ~Shentep Zpere

 

We sat and waited out almost 3 hours watching a film adaptation of a Shakespeare play - Merchant of Venice. :D

 

informative - yes;

literary - very much

touching - jeremy irons on a death sentence still managed to look hot. :)

braindraining- maybe a modern, easy-read version of the screenplay will do...

 

sadya tani except for the poor audio...

a must watch again..

 

i love this Shylock monologue though. i got it from some Shakespeare website

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
