bardic_ladySo... yeah. I sort of missed a couple days in the throes of misery. But I'm back and getting back on track!
Day #6: Your favorite villainess
I... can't think of any women I would really really categorize as female villains in Shakespeare. I mean, there's an argument to be made for Margaret in the Henry VI into Richard III arc. Offering your enemy a hankie dipped in the blood of his dead son is sort of not the act of a kind woman. But really, there was some provocation there.
Day #7: Your favorite clown
Dogberry in Much Ado. Absolutely. Okay, Bottom is good, too. But really, Dogberry is SO MUCH FUN. His total lack of grasp of English is ridiculous, and yet, he manages to discharge his duties.
Day #8: Your favorite comedy
It's still a tie between Midsummer and Much Ado. It's probably going to remain a tie for... y'know, ever.
