And I must say, enjoyed a lot more than previously hoped for. Good themes. Good lessons. Good emotions. One scene I was literally fighting back the emotions that wanted to come out through my eyes. (I know, I know. I'm a girl. Kill me.) I doubt anyone was actually watching me in the library...but if they were, I bet it was comical. Shakespeare does it again.
I guess what I came up with today was a renewed love for all things exotic. When Professor was talking about going to India and not wanting Mac and Cheese: I TOTALLY knew the feeling.
So this may be un-kosher tangent for this class, but today, Shakespeare reminded me of my love for travel. So: here's to the exotic theme of the Tempest:
Jerus. Going this summer to the BYU center. This will be the view from my balcony.
Ireland/Scottland. My next dream. Why? Because how can you look at pictures like this and not want to be there? I guess I can mostly thank Andrew for the renewal of this dream today.
Germany/Poland. At Christmas time. Because I heard my sister and my close friend Chanson talk about it enough that I pretty much fell in love as much as they did.
After that....who knows? An island to myself like Miranda? China with my new friend Austen? I guess I'll see. For now? Off to read Henry V. This should be good. Although....I'll probably just wish I was in England.
I definitely know how you feel about traveling. I have always wanted to go visit the British Isles. They seem so beautiful and so . . . I guess the best word is Romantic.
ReplyDeleteYay! I made it into the blog! :) Yep, Ireland and Scotland are definitely worth seeing. And, since Scotland is mentioned in the beginning of Henry V at the very least (albeit in a bad light), you'll probably have another reminder that you'll want to go there again. :)
