Fourth Blog post

OK, things are going ... well, I guess. I will have updated marks. Would have had them last night but there was a creepy guy in the back row not letting me get the marks inputted. You can let him know your displeasure tomorrow.

In any case, here is the assignment for the fourth blog post for the Shakespeare Unit:

Watch each of the following "Party Scenes" from Romeo and Juliet and tell me why there is such a major difference in the way audiences percive the major characters.

Here's the first version from 1996:

You DO know you are writing an in class essay on Wednesday, right?
