Richard II - Act V

[Virgil]

I hope it's about Richard's last scene. It's still one of my favorites from the play.

Yes.

Where's Petrarch these days? No doubt she could set us straight on this play; seeing she knows so much about Shakespeare. Anybody try reading any critical analysis online? I should try to find some.

Petrarch sent me a message not too long ago. She is really tied up with school and work. Just overwhelmed and cannot participate for a while.

Virgil, dear YES, you are stubborn!

Always.

Will we be progressing now to the final act VI?

What Act VI?

[Janine]

Yes.

OK.

It's a shame because I would love to hear her take on this one aspect of this play - the blame of the death of Richard aspect. Just curious.

Always.

What Act VI?

Oh gosh, I am tired! I am always mixing up Acts and Scenes. I saw that at the top of the first page and it registered to me Act VI and it was Scene VI...sorry to confuse you.

So then, this is the final act? Good!!!Great!!!

Yes, I regret that I could not continue with R2, but it would have been difficult to set up my PC in the temporary unit I was in. I would like to join in for one eventually, but I desire the problem plays over the popular ones, like A Midsummer's Night Dream.

I am simply no longer sure I have the aptitude for the thematic difficulties involved in analyzing Measure for Measure, or T&C. I have interacted with John McWhorter, who is a linguist who wants to make sure Shakespeare stays accessible to the poor. He might not assist me just because I ask him (I've been critical of some of his contentions) but I could try asking him anyway, if ever one is selected that is worth my investment. We'll see.

Jozy, our next play will be Henry IV, Part I. I haven't started and not sure when I will be able to. You know John McWhorter personally? He's brilliant.

You think? No, not personally, but I post @ him, like here, except at TNR I am loud, bitter, and maybe a bigoted liberal. Scheherazade and Logos would ask for big bucks to handle me over there, but, when I can keep tabs on my blood pressure he respects my challenge, critique, whatever you wish to term it. I half agree with him on the problem of Shakespeare as the problem stands with the English of the 16th century, except I would bifurcate it, but I am too antsy right now to get into it Virgil. I'm really depressed, and think I'm in menopause, and so need to watch my posting tempo and all, and trying to stay out of here so as to not give our favorite moderators any trouble, even inadvertently, and I do have a 6/15 deadline to meet for so-so decent pay, if I can pull it off.

H4 is a good one, but I can't, for the time being.
