Blog # 2

Diary entry number one. My feelings on love are that I have no feelings. I don’t feel as if I can give my love to any women. What is the point of falling in love with just one women when me Benedick am a merry bachelor, I can have any and all women that I want why would I want to be tied down, men and women are not meant to be tied down. I will live a bachelor.
Diary entry number two. Oh Beatrice what am I to do with her. She challenges me mentally wit for wit. I feel that she is a rare parrot teacher. She talks too much and she is very mean to me. She isn’t even funny but she thinks that she is. This is why men and women and there relationships together are just so complicated, we are both so guarded that we feel the need to put down and make fun of each other. She is the one lady that makes fun of me because I feel as if I am loved by all ladies.
Oh Beatrice why to you talk about me the way you do, there is something about my Beatrice there is something about the way she can challenge me something about her beauty that I am just totally attracted to. I feel as if my stubbornness is wearing off because I think yes me Benedict the merry bachelor who is loved by all may be falling slightly attracted to the annoying but lovely Beatrice. No I don’t think so not yet.

Shakespeare In Love Blog # 1

As you can see in the film Shakespeare In Love that William Shakespeare put his heart and sole into his writing. There are different aspects about his life that effect Shakespeare’s writing. His friends and associates played a big part in Shakespeare’s plays. In the movie Shakespeare In Love the owner of the movie house used to tell Shakespeare what the title of his play should be and the type of play that he should write. Shakespeare also got ideas from other writers and friends, in the movie another writer gave him the start of a plot to Romeo and Juliet and another actor gave him the idea for the title.
I think Shakespeare’s biggest inspiration for his writing came from his love of the women that would come into his life. When the movie starts Shakespeare was suffering from writers block, he couldn’t seem to put his thought onto paper he lacked inspiration. Then Shakespeare meets a women and he goes on to write the first scene to his next play that very day. After a short while Shakespeare catches that women having sex with another man and his inspiration is gone and he goes back to having writers block. Then later in the movie Shakespeare winds up meeting the love of his life and he winds up writing a whole play about her and there relationship and he called Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare wrote plays on what he thought love was, but society didn’t want romance and drama society wanted comedies. The Queen of England said that true love cannot be shown in a play, but her mind was quickly changed after she saw Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
