Adrienne: The Work I've Done

In this blog I looked at the role of Jaques in As You Like It, and I think I explored the subject pretty thoroughly using different examples and situations from the play as well as from the Director's Cut and another essay. Then I looked at Jaques character in different plays. I think I looked in depth at Jaques character- although in the end, I still don't think I understand him completely, or ever will.

Interaction:

New vs. the Old

Here I talked about the Globe Theatre Production, but I also looked at Sabrina's blog about it, in which I found her interpretations interesting. In particular I looked at what she mentioned about the Orlando realization of the Rosalind-Ganymede masquerade. I took here statements and questioned them and fleshed them out a bit. She widened my view and I hope I broadened hers.

Discussions:

Sarcasm Keeps us on our Feet

I got comments from different people on this blog, and I think I made people think a bit when they read the blog. Through the discussion that followed, I think we all came up with new ideas.

Xenoblogging:

Globe Theatre

I liked Elizabeth's post about the production in Globe Theatre, and with the comments I added after I read it, I like to think I helped to develop some of her ideas.

Wildcard:

Jake and I

In this blog I played around with the characters (not literally, of course) and just kind of thought about who they were and why all these different characters were included. I think blogs are about thinking, and sharing your thoughts, and even just writing down some things in the hope that you'll come up with new thoughts: and I think this blog kind of follows this idea. I wasn't really sure where I was going when I first started it (sort of like when I first look at a poem for an IOC) and by the end, I had all these ideas. Blogs are about progressing.
