My Intentions

My plans for this semester in Shakespeare class include: reading four comedies, three tragedies (including Hamlet), two histories, and one Romance. This brings the total amount of plays to ten. I also intend to honor my original goal to find modern equivalents to these plays and give my interpretation on what the changes say about modern society. This might stray from the goal of learning and commenting about Shakespeare, but I believe a large part of understanding where Shakespeare fits in this modern era is gaining a grasp of modern values. I also will read at least a sonnet a week and post my reading experience the day of. Also, I want to get on the class production that seems to be forming.
