I would love to read your essay....where is it? I have to write one myself in which the focus of analysis is on the acting and the directing of the performance at California State University Northridge.

I'm currently trying to write a 2500 essaay on Two gentlemen of Verona and my copy of Norton's anthology didn't have the book I hoped it did. So I went looking for an online copy and pleasantly happy to find not only a copy of this but a whole resource on Shakespeare. I'll post my essay if it's okay, after I've had it marked and returned. <br><br>A few points about the play, Shakespeare was always keen on themes of identity and it's been shown in many other of his works, such as Taming of the Shrew where everyone had a second identity.<br><br>The hero and heroine is never clear, in Two Gentlemen one would assume Proteus and Silvia to be it, but in actual fact it's clear the Heroine is Julia. <br><br>Shakespeare actually wrote this as his first playa nd the ending is very rushed, a whole four acts were spent on the build up and one act on a busy and anti-climactic conclusion.<br><br>Shakespeares first attempt at playwriting in the big time, also brought iwth it use of Petrarchism, known as "comapring to venus" etc. This was the style at the time. <br><br>Just a few thoughts...anyway... back to my essay.<br><br>Nicola
