What was explained in this chapter? What about this chapter was interesting to you?
*Explain for Each* Chapter 4: "Flaming Youth" The chapter mainly focused on the play "Romeo and Juliet." It explained how back then when their was a female role it was played by a male, because women weren't able to act in plays. Instead of making children a person who rises above the corrupt world he portrayed them as curious, just as much as the adults. This chapter was very interesting it shared about the youth and how they are very unique i.e. How they are so beautiful, but yet can't admit it. It also talks about hamlet and how in hamlet when Ophelia dies off stage it is very unclear. This allowed many speculations to be made. Some say that she drowned, some in the wilderness, and some in her own home. I found this very interesting. Chapter 5: "All Honorable Men" This chapter was very interesting because it talked about how the assassination of Abraham Lincoln was like Julius Cesar. It goes on to explain this more and more in detail. The whole point was to show that all of the people who wanted change in history were in some way hated. Sometimes even to the extreme. What I found interesting is how not only did Shakespeare invent the word "assassination," but he basically staged the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. We could say that without Shakespeare he wouldn't have died. Although Shakespeare wasn't alive he was the one that put these thoughts in our head. I will be commenting on Elisabeth's, and Alex's Blog's.

Your blog post was really interesting. Especially the part about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. I find it ironic that the exact way Abraham Lincoln was murdered was a replica of the assassination of Julius Cesar. I can't wait to read your next blog post and learn another new thing about Shakespeare and his writings.
