[QUOTE="Catherineanne, post: 68158116, member: 83057"] If I have an opinion of Shakespeare that you disagree with, you assume I have never seen them as plays? Is it impossible to have a different opinion otherwise, do you think? Others have mentioned English degrees; I have an English degree. I have seen (and read) a lot of Shakespeare, mostly performed by the RSC, but other companies as well. I won't list them all, but there are a lot. Shakespeare 'comedy' is often cruel, dark and tragic. It mocks unfortunate or afflicted people and treats them with a cruelty that is difficult to reconcile. Malvolio, for example, is not an attractive character, but does he really deserve to be treated the way he is? Would we really consider that funny if we saw it happening around us? [/QUOTE]
