  First if all, I love all your summaries. Thank you for them. Second, I think a commoner marrying a duke would be seen by Shakespeare's audience as a positive development.

  I am PISSED that modern cynicism is called such, when it should be called timonism. What a smear on the wisdom of Classical Cynicism.

  i feel like it's a sort of pointing out that something usually presented/perceived in a certain way is apparently something else entirely by its nature. like in "the boys" tv series, when we have a perception that heroes "help and protect people," "the boys" "deconstruct" that idea, and presents/shows a different, new perspective: "heroes are not good people, because heroes are people, too, and people are not always good." deconstructive criticism (simply) points out what, how, and why the idea of "heroes are good people" are not necessarily right, as presented in "the boys." (feels like the text needs to be presenting something in a new perspective, so we can deconstruct it; otherwise, we'd be making things up) there becomes a contradiction between "heroes are good" and "heroes are not good," and because of that, both negate each other, and thus "there is no meaning." this happens because the deconstructionists believe that whatevere the author or text intends to utter, it will not be understood by the reader (seems like kinda fitting into all the orientations of author, text, and reader, but at the same time, not really, too), so we might as well create a new meaning (that's often the opposite of what's in the text) as we ourselves believe. i don't know if i get it right, tho. feels like it's tricky to understand for the sake of being tricky..

  Just some notes for myself: 0:26 Roger feeds of Dimmesdale’s soul - he himself is a symbolism - of the Black Man - Puritan image of the devil. 1:07 - A lot of comparisons between Roger and the Black Man. How does Roger mirrors the image of the Black Man. 1. Deformity: He is deformed - his shoulder and the black man moves around with a black cloak and cloven hooves. The Black Man wanders through the woods for souls while Roger did so to search for herbs. 2. His wise and a learned man - he always carries around books everywhere he goes which reminds the readers about the books the black man carries for his souls. 3. He tries to destroy a soul - Dimmesdale’s soul. He tries his very best in destroying Dimmesdale and the connection between the two clearly symbolizes how similar Roger is to the black man.

  I am reading all Shakespeare plays and this is my favorite so far(I have read 8 plays now). I didn't read the mocking of the mechanicals play as mean but I can see how it could be read that way. To me, it brought to mind the idea of "So bad that it's good" movies. That is what I took the line about imagining the actors good to mean. Maybe what makes there play good isn't pretending that the actors know what they are doing but instead the changing of criteria for art critique in the audience from expecting a somber Greek tradgedy to watching something like The Room. Tommy Wiseau was asked in an interview what he thought about audiences and critics considering his movie the worst of all time and he asked how it could be the worst movie after if people regularly watch it and laugh, being obviously entertained, the whole time. So I saw it as a situation where the only people not having fun in this scene would be pretentious audience members who expected a 'serious performance' from these goofballs, and maybe the epilogue to Shakespeare's play is a nod to the idea that maybe people will find Midsummer night's dream to be a bad play like the mechanicals play. Gives me very Beatles "what would you think if I sang out of tune" vibes. And then maybe, perhaps grasping here,he is creating parallels between the choas of loving people and of loving art.

  If I were Claudius, I'd be offended by Hamlet's behaviour during the court play, even if I wasn't guilty. His shouting and prancing about made the play unwatchable. So, I'd wanna leave too. Hamlet's proof isn't so solid after all. If Claudius himself didn't confess to the murder in his prayer, we as the audience could still have reasons to believe he was being framed.

  An important ethical component is missing from this discussion. AI does not generate from nothing. Instead, it remixes from existing sources. In effect, it is a plagiarism machine. It obfuscates sources, removes attribution, and prevents recognition to those doing the real intellectual work that AI pulls from.

  No man is now an island near Shakespear's white'd tomb please get a grip on history or you'll never get a clue Say what became of Southell? who was hunted for his pen Might we supose that Jesuit was Shakespeard secret friend? Could he have been the Turtle? when his head graced Traitors gate I know I might be streatching things but the hour is getting late it could have cause some trouble if the Bard was hosting priests Topcliff was a mastermind at causing Doves to flee

  i love the way you describe the play, it gives a lot of clarity. The idea that the true conflict is within prospero is something i definitely overlooked, thus is such a good way of explaining the plays meaning. it also relates better to the idea that prosper is seen as shakespeare speaking through him as he’s coming to the end of his playwright career as i imagine this would have caused him conflict

  I watched this play for the first time last week. I think my biggest issue (again it was only the first viewing) was the complexity and how many characters there are with so many different motives I couldn't really keep track of the plot. It doesn't help that the production I was watching was just awful. It was the RSC performance from about 5 years ago and it was done in a very artsy, over-the-top way, and, oh shall we say... poor casting choices. This was not the right production to be introduced to the play with. I'm going to try and watch the 1980s BBC production tonight, something that's played more straightforward and maybe I'll have better luck. But again it was confusing because there were so many characters mostly with small roles.

  Oh, man, great question. It varies from day to day. I dearly love “Blow, blow, thou winter wind” in As You Like It, but I also love “Fear no more the heat o’ the sun” in Cymbeline. And “Sigh no more, Ladies” from Much Ado About Nothing is so great. I can’t decide.
