Shakespear Themes

Shakespear has many infulences in todays modern plays and movies and I am going to talk about the movie She's the Man. In She's the Man it has mistaken identity and a love triangle. In this movie a girl pretends to be her brother because the girls soccer team got cut. During this her brother is really in London. Pretending to be her brother cause many problems. She is in love with her roomate, her roomate is in love with a girl who is in love with her(who really thinks she is a boy but she is only pretending to be a boy.)

This clearly shows that this has Shakespearian theme and plot in it because he always had love triangles and mistaken identity's in his plays. The creators I think had realized how great the Shakespearian theme was and created one of the biggest copycats of his themes. They used love triangle, mistaken identity and more to make the plot of this movie all from Shakespear's ideas.

Shakespear

My preception of Shakespear is weird. I think what I like about Shakespear is that he has an interesting way of putting things and acting his ideas out to full potential. For example, I like when in A Midsummers Night Dream the whole story line is simple but Shakespear made the plot more complex and had the enitire movie theme intertaining. One thing that I am sure gets a lot of people confused is the language because we all know Shakespear is not from our time so it does get difficult for me at times to understand where things are going and what they're are saying but over all I think it's good.

Over the next two months, I am looking forward to Romeo and Juliet just because it seems like a very cool topic to read and learn about in class. Then again im probably not as excited as you or all the girls because I'm sure you guys think it's romantic. I don't know very much going into this lesson but I'm sure I will learn a lot from it in our class. Over all, I think this will be a fun unit and my knowledge of Romeo and Juliet and Shakespear in general will increase.
