Right, so, I've been CRAZY BUSY with skool. This semester is flying by so fast and I'm way behind in pretty much everything. In fact, I'll probably be up all night finishing a paper for my American Modernism class, so wish me luck on that.

That aside, I wanted to ask for some opinions on this large project I need to finish for my Shakespeare and Shakespeare Reasearch Component classes. Our assignment is to pick a monologue from a list, and then research it's language, context in the play, and how the play has been performed in order to make a binder full of notes and essays explaining how WE would direct the play and specificly that monologue.

I talked with my professor, and she's allowing me to, instead of explaining how I would DIRECT it, I'm going to explain how I would DRAW it and making it into a graphic novel.

My monologue is Prospero's "drown my book" speech from The Tempest. If you'd like to read it, it's on the bottom of this page: [link] and the top of this one: [link]

So here's something I'm thinking about, and I'd like other opinions. What if I put this play in a steampunk setting? The ships are airships, and the island they are on is actually floating in the sky. I think it'd be really fun to design costumes for and would give my version a little flair. Does that seem interesting to you?


OK, enough of that. I'm off to analyze the poetry of Ezra Pound.
