I saw part of the 1948 Olivier Hamlet last night, and it gave me the urge to reread this. It's been a few years, but it's one of my favorite Shakespearean plays. Nothing like a reread of an old favorite on a cold winter's night!

Boy was this a powerful one to teach.
I think I need to clarify that I‘m a retired #longtimefed and not a current employee. I‘m writing these posts because I‘m angry and insulted that feds are being thrown so unceremoniously under the bus. Again. Sadly, this isn‘t new. It‘s just fed bashing on steroids…or ketamine.
Since Social Security is part of my pension BY LAW, I guess that makes me part of the “parasite class” now. I just want to sit under my own vine and fig tree.

Watched these two adaptations over the last two evenings and I truly love both. I had forgotten Anna Madeley (Mrs. Hall of All Creatures Great & Small) was Miss Lucy Steele. Maybe the 2008 3 episode series has a slight edge since it has more content than 1995 film.

pickThis comedy, first performed in 1664, is a pleasure to read, especially Dorine's parts.
This play is very topical: a man, Tartuffe, an hypocritical devotee, manages to entirely manipulate another man, Orgon. Manipulation, credulity, blindness are common themes.
Highly recommend!
In Ovid's "Metamorphoses," love and hate are deeply intertwined with the central theme of transformation. The plays A Midsummer Night's Dream (Pyramus&Thisbe)
and Romeo and Juliet (based on Metamorphoses) are more similar than they appear. Both, written at the same time, deal with forbidden romance and power and control. One play having a comedic end, while the other ends in tragedy, are partly the same tale with a different outcome.

Morning read! Le Tartuffe by Molière. My French book club meets tomorrow, and as the organizer, of course I need to take notes ;)
First time reading this play, but I've seen it played (ages ago).
Happy Valentine's Day, dear Littens!
Since the Q1 theme is poetry, what better day to enjoy some sonnets or love poems! ❤️
How are the classics going for #classicschallenge 2025?
