King Lear
Knowing what you do about the Divine Right of Kings, what do you think Shakespeare is saying in the first act of this play? What about legitimacy?
Henry IV PART 2
Why do you think the play opens with such a lengthy legal discussion? What does it say about Henry's relationship with the church, considering how his father gained the throne?
The Tempest
Greetings. Your group may use this forum as your journal postings.
This is considered by many to be Shakespeare's last play (always debatable).
If we take it to be his last hurrah, what do you think he is saying? In your opinion, how has his writing developed?

Help Needed
Greetings all bloggers!
Please extend an invitation to your parents and friends for Thursday evening's presentation. Mr. J. and I would also appreciate you asking your parents if they would be willing to volunteer as chaperones for any or all of the night.
Last Othello question - we have discussed this in class, but please give the following some thought. So far we have read Othello and Romeo & Juliet. Would either of these work for the production for next year? Our next play is The Taming of the Shrew for those of you who would like to get a jump on the reading.
See you tomorrow. FYI - rehearsals are going very well for the first days - good work everyone. Remember to schedule to come and be in the audience at some points.
love
Fergie

Act Five - due Friday:)
Here we are at the end. Heartbreaking, but - why does Iago live? Who do you think is the antagonist now that you have read the whole play? Has your opinion changed from Wednesday? What do you notice about Othello's last speech?
