Classical is What I Am For....

A little pun from that band, anyone know what I mean? I'll just laugh to myself quietly if not....


Anyway, the point - I love British Literature. I took a class of it in school last year and loved it. Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors; its so easy to sit awake at two in the morning, unable to sleep, and read about some intelligent, beautiful, strong-minded women deal with a lack of independence in a male society, confused intentions, pride, prejudice, what have you. (I made a pun again! oh my. I'm on a role).


I love Shakespeare too - Hamlet is probably my favorite so far. I know many people who are intimidated by the plays, but in fact, if you just pay attention, the depth of meaning catapults itself at you. It takes a skilled analyst to see beneath every symbol and double-meaning, but one does not need to recognized every detail Shakespeare has included, thats asking a little to much and is exhausting.
