I've just finished my homework. I don't usually wait until the last minute but this time...
Had to see "Slumdog Millionaire"-what a movie. Also heard a 1930's style broadcast of "Hamlet". After reading the play, watching the 4 hour Kenneth Brannagh movie and going to today's broadcast I am a bit Hamletted out as Patrick would say. While I can hardly consider myself a Hamlet expert, I know a lot about Hamlet now. I had no idea how many famous sayings came from that play. As if I'm not thinking about Shakepeare all the time anyway, I'm still trying to memorize my sonnet-8 lines down and 6 to go. It is not coming easily.
Speaking of not coming easily-literary criticism. Fascinating class, dynamic professor, out of her element student-that would be me. New Criticism I understand-read the text and evaluate from the text only. Structuralism is another thing altogether. I hope I understand more tomorrow. Going to school on President's Day when the kid is sleeping in will be rough.
Back to the books.
