Shakespeare Trip

Our English class to a trip to the Floger's Shakespeare Theatre. There was a big room that looked like the inside of the globe theatre. I thought we were going to see a play, but then four people came out and started talking to us about why we should like Shakespeare. I thought it was just a little prelude to the play, but an hour later I finally realized that this was the show. It went on for another hour or so of us being told why Shakespeare was important, relivent, etc. I was dissapointed because I wanted to see a play, but that didn't happen. One of my main problems was that four people took two hours to impose a point of view on us. They said it was relative, but relativity is contingent on perspective. Not everyone sees things the same way. For example, snow is made of water vapor. There is water vapor in the air in this room. Does that mean that there is snow in the room? There are modern or timeless ideas in Shakespeare's plays, but does that mean the plays themselves are relatively modern or timeless. The opinion that Shakespeare's plays are relative to modern life is just that, an opinion. Trying to make it right or wrong simply doesn't work. Regardless, that was what we saw and it was a good trip.
