I did have a"fandiddlyastic"(thank you Aaron)spring break with my sister up in BYU.
Well hello audience of two! Just thought I'd post a little something about Shakespeare and the sexual innuindo in his plays. Its really quite disgusting, and I feel like a total pervert even though my teacher pointed it out in our reading of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in my Hon. English class. There is a certain line that at first made the class go "WTFRICK is this even talking about?!"(a typical first-time reading-Shakespeare response) And I quote:
"Hippolyta, I wooed thee with my sword,and won thy love,doing thee injuries."
My teacher quickly explained the symbolism of a sword: sword=male reproductive organs
and injuries=ummm... yeah, I wont even say it.
So while we are all disgusted by this we are instantly recaptured in the enchanting love story of Helena,Hermia,Lysander,and Demetrius. It gets pretty complicated though.(oh yeah, I am currently reading the part of Hermia in my class)So i won't even tell the plot, though if you are up for a reading challenge that you may or may not survive, I completely recommend it. :)
