- I found this Blog entitled Wordy Wednesday http://shealwayslovedlarking.blogspot.com/2012/07/wordy-wednesday-wedding-wisdom-from.html
- The speech she gave at the wedding is something that I’m looking at more in depth since it directly discusses marriage in Shakespeare’s time and I might wish to contact her directly in the future. http://shealwayslovedlarking.blogspot.com/p/shakespeare-wedding-speech.html
- I also found this short blog post about Elizabethan marriage in the play Julius Caesar which I’ll look at for the overarching ideas. http://room211capa.blogspot.com/2012/10/julius-caesar-shakespeares-vision-of.html
- This blog is about Much Ado about nothing but states that Beatrice is a shrew for always speaking her mind. I hadn’t thought of that comparison before and am intrigued to follow that thought process. http://npshakespeare.blogspot.com/2012/09/gender-roles-and-marriage.html

I'm interested to see your "tweethis," but maybe I just didn't catch it somewhere else! Also, looks like you have some great sources. I guess I didn't know there would be so many blogs about Shakespeare topics. That's great!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you posted those blogs! I've been struggling to find blogs with information relevant to my topic, which deals with marriage issues in Measure for Measure.
