“One speech in it I
chiefly loved: 'twas Aeneas' tale to Dido; and
thereabout of it especially, where he speaks of
Priam's slaughter.” - Hamlet, Shakespeare
Right, this month we're
stuck again with the Old Billy. Good news is, this month's theme is
comedy. So no thinking too much about philosophical words the
playwright smartly put between the lines to amaze the less witty
people in the audience, nor crying too hard for the misery of his
fictional characters.
This month's meme will
be easy: Which one is your favourite scene in the play? If you read
As You Like It, it might be anything with Jacques or Touchstone in
it. Or maybe you're a romantic person, so you love Orlando kissing
Rosalind in man's garment? If your choice is Love's Labour's Lost,
well, what is more hilarious than the friends hiding their love only
to know later that they have been overheard? It's just fantastic.
Usually I put some
leading questions for inspiration. But this time, I think the
question, “What is your favourite scene?” will be enough. You can
answer long or short, it's up to you. You can even put more than one
scene. After all, one cannot have “too much of a good thing.”
