Slutten av The Two Gentlemen of Verona

Hvem trenger å dra på konserter når shakespeare skriver banger sanger som den her

"Who is Silvia? what is she,
That all our swains commmand her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
That heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admired be"

lmao og de to andre versa. Han i sang den på veldig jazzsks

Merchant of Venice

Antonio and Bassanio are lovers, and the latter is a declasse aristocrat scheming to obtain Portia's wealth. That they ruin a member of an oppressed group in the process makes villainy triumphant in this text. We might say that this text stages a society that believes itself to be just and allows that society to prevail by means of an exclusion that we cannot countenance.

Rereading Hamlet because Baldwin mentioned it and I realized I no longer have the damn thing memorized. Fear I may be missing something if I don't do a refresher

King John

The absence of Magna Carta should be considered structural rather than inartful--this episodic text wherein alliances realign each act should be taken to represent a sort of hobbesian wasteland wherein it's better to trust in 'your strong possession much more than your right.' 'Commodity, the bias of the world' might only be diagnosed by a bastard who lacks right but is pure competence.

Midsummer Night's Dream

The substratum here is an alien dispute between Oberon and Titania regarding the possession of a changeling, which is a horrid little bit of myth. Within that context, Theseus consummates his forced marriage to Hippolyta, whom he 'wooed with the sword,' and Egeus mirrors Capulet's dire parental demands; the connection to R&J is solidified by the low mechanicals' parody thereof.

As You Like It illustrates a common phenomenon in Shakespeare's plays, namely the surprising ease with which a person can disguise themselves effectively enough to fool even their own parents. Not enough characters avail themselves of this strategy throughout the various plays, if you ask me.
