Take That Shakespeare!

Curses to Shakespeare for writing such crappy plays and sonnets. Curses to the rest of the world for worshipping him as one of the greatest writers of all time. Curses to the Board of Studies for being one of those people. Ever since year seven, I've been doing a Shakespearean play every year as part of trivial studies (a.k.a. the English course). Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Taming of the Shrew.... and now, Antony and Cleopatra. Of the plays, half of them are Shakespearean tragedies. I disagree entirely. I believe they all fit the category. It was a tragedy that any of them were ever written.

Anyway, Sefton decided to pick yet another crappy text for its students to study (i.e. A&C) and decided it would be wonderful fun to make us do a role play as one of the characters. Sure, that's not too bad. You have to bring in a prop that demonstrates powerplay. Alright, I can handle that. You have to talk about an additional text. Don't push it buddy... Oh, and did we mention you'd have to synthesise it with A&C? *Polishes 40 inch blade*

The good news is that I have finished writing the aforementioned speech and it sounds mighty impressive. The bad news is that I have virtually no content. My excuse is that it's too hard to turn text analysis into archaic English. So, the score is now: Alan - 6, Shakespeare - nil. Take that you play-stealing, frilled-neck bastard!
