Hmm...I really enjoyed class today with our guest speaker, Andrew Hamm. I liked what he had to say about the way to read Shakespeare. I have found that in a book I despise Shakespeare simply because I cannot understand it. I find that once I watch the play or the movie, however, it all becomes clear. I actually do have an appreciation for Shakespeare, but it takes awhile to uncover. It's nice to know that someone, a Shakespeare enthusiast of all people, feels the same way. For some reason my high school teachers thought it was always a quick read and expected us to understand everything with hardly any discussion. It was annoying to say the least because everyone knew the books required more work and thought.
Anyway, I will try my best to understand the rest of Othello with outside reading, but I cannot promise anything. Hopefully in class discussions will help.
