30 Days of Shakespeare - Day 12
Jul. 29th, 2010 11:33 pmDay #12: Your Favorite Scene
Favourite Shakespeare scenes are like potato chips, you can't have just one. I have several including:
Beatrice and Benedick's first meeting in Much Ado. The wit is so sharp. She's so smart and he's so smart and together they are awesome. And it's a scene that I have actually played at a college party with a guy who was annoying me. (Yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
loblolly, that's how I fell for Dewey.)
The wooing scene in Shrew. Yes, Petruchio is a dick. Yes, the play has major issues for a feminist. But that first skirmish of wit is brilliant. If they play went differently, they would be Beatrice and Benedick.
Paulina's scathing diatribe against Leontes in Winter's Tale. You go girl.
Hotspur and Kate Percy at home in Henry IV 1. I love that he's being a dick and she calls him on it and threatens to break his dick if he doesn't shape up.
Midsummer, 2.1 The first introduction of the fairies. I love the First Fairy, I love Puck, I love Titania's reminisces of her lost votaress, I love "Set your heart at rest, the fairyland buys not the child of me" and Titania storming off.
(I like the strong women, did you know?)
