build me a willow cabin to hide in from shakespeare.

Holy crap. I've *seen* Twelfth Night. I even paid attention all the way through. So how, just exactly *how* did I manage to miss the fact that, when read, the language is insanely complicated?

I miss Othello. It didn' take anything to understand. Iago, git. Desdemona, sweet and innocent. Twelfth Night, *so* not that simple. Woe is me.

edit I do love Aguecheek's line "I was adored once too" though. In the Propeller production Simon (icon, though that's him as Puck) said it with this forlorn wistfulness and if there'd been nothing else, I would've loved the character for that. You could hear the sigh of "aaawww" all around the theatre.

Got your text. *hugs* You made me all sniffly. Thank you. :-)

Now, stop posting in LJ and read your Shakespeare! Seeing the play and reading it? Two completely different things. Because seeing it leads to much visuals that help with understanding, whereas reading it leads to much thinking which hurts your brain!
