Much Ado About Reading

Putting this into a couple sentences, let's just say I'm going to explain the bare minimum. So there is this guy named Leonato and he has a niece, Beatrice, and a daughter, Hero. This dude named Benedick is talking to Beatrice and they get into an argument. Apparently, when a man and a woman argued back then, it was considered an argument. From that point on, every one in their friend group tried to get them together. (Sounds a bit like real life, doesn't it?) There is also this other guy named Claudio who is best buddies with Benedick, and he had his eyes set on Hero. There was this mascarade ball and all of them attend. Claudio decides that he needs a wing man in order to court Hero and tells this other other dude named Don John to hide behind a mask, court Hero for him and wed the two.

To be or not to be, that is the question. Welcome to Shakespeare Week! (Or two weeks, depending on if I think there is more to post about Shakespeare) Assuming you read the title of this blog, Shakespeare is kind of my jam. Shakespeare was a playwright and a poet. Though he is more commonly known as being this snooty guy that writes books for high school kids to slave away over, his writing is actually pretty great. Though some of his plots can get complicated, *cough cough twelfth night, much ado about nothing, romeo and Juliet * he actually has a pretty good idea of what a rom-com is considering he was born in the 1500s. Overall, Shakespeare seems like the type of author both theater geeks and L.A. geeks could bond over, which both classify as me, if you couldn't tell. My goal is to try and post some good Shakespearean poetry, summarize some complicated works in my own words, and field some questions about everything Shakespeare! #muchadoaboutreading
