William Beatles
This has nothing to do with A Midsummer Night's Dream, but i just thought it would be interesting to see The Beatles do an interpretation of Shakespeare
Adaptation: Good or Bad?
I think adaptations are a marvelous idea!
One reason i would to point out is that many different cultures interpret Shakespeare's works different. Thus, i think it would be important if the English world would feel open in seeing these interpretations.
Example of Adaption
Macbeth: The Manga Version
To be honest, i have only scene the movie of Macbeth. Thus the scene i would like to point out is the ending scene of the very last act - the sword fight. Sword fights are always meant to be acted out in a very dramatic fashion and sexton and his fellow authors do a pretty good job in doing so. Since i've only read snippets of this play, after gazing over this book, the overly violent nature of these characters encourages me not to read this play. When i think of Shakespeare, I think of elegance- this is not elegant. But after talking this over with the class, i now find out that Macbeth is actually a very violent play so...i think i should actually read the play, no?
Character to Character: Oberon and Titania
I rather enjoyed the relationship between Oberon and Titania. I believe their relationship refers to the modern relationship of a loving couple. Like how Oberon basically wanted to get rid of Titania at some point, modern spouses of today do the same thing - sometimes, they just want some alone time. Unlike the couple arguments of today, Titania's and Oberon's arguments were beatufil and i really enjoyed it - not like Jerry Springer - core.
