Ten Unpopular Opinions
I'm sorry that I almost missed Cesario's blog post entitled "Ten Unpopular Opinions : The Shakespeare Edition." She posted it a few days ago and I am very behind. The list is funny -- Titus Andronicus as a farce that should be played like a Monty Python skit? "Claudio and Hero -- so doomed." But it also shows a deep understanding of Shakespeare, making leaps that many people would not dare make because they're simply not the common thinking (hence unpopular opinions, I suppose). "The Macbeths have the best marriage in all Shakespeare." "Shylock is not the hero of Merchant of Venice." "Lear's Fool is a subject relative experienced only by Lear himself." I mean, you can pick any of them and have discussion all night long. Great stuff.

Hey! Thanks for the link to my blog! It's drawn some cool discussion, but how in the world did you find me? Incidentally, I AM NOT A "HE" CESARIO IS A GIRL OMGWTF DIDN'T YOU READ THE PLAY. :-D
Sorry Branwyn (fixed)! I haven't read Twelfth Night in years and years. But yes I did ponder if I was getting the male/female thing right and fell back on the old "name ends with an o so it's male" rule which obviously failed me :-/.
I have a whole bunch of news filters (google, technorati, delicious, etc...) that watch for Shakespeare stuff. Glad I found your post!
