I finished The Tempest and I didn't not like it. Forgive the double negative but that is how I felt about it. It wasn't something that thrilled me but it wasn't painful either. I realized that this sums up my attitude towards Shakespeare in general. I respect all that he did but I don't really take the time to read it. Talking about this attitude with my brother I was reminded of a clip from the movie Zoolander which I included below. Pay attention to what Owen Wilson says about Sting towards the end of the clip.

Maybe I can come to enjoy Shakespeare during this course.
That is very interesting and hilarious, and I mostly completely agree with Hansel as well.
ReplyDeleteHe knows what he's talking about, for sure.
