Hello, welcome to my blog, I'm Josh and I will be showing you the process of the play that me and my class are conducting: Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. Personally, I'm a big fan of Shakespeare, so it isn;t much of a challenge for me to show you one of his arts. As we progress to the modern age, not many people can speak old english/shakespearean, so it became necessary to trasnlate the script to modern text, therefore more shorter and simpler lines. I for one am quite fluent in Shakespearean, for I have read some of Shekespeare's workls, and I have a basic understanding of his style of language.
Since I have a basic understanding of Shakespearean, I didn't encounter many problems in interpreting the lines. Most of my co-workers often relied on my help to translate most of the script, and the play has gone off to a smooth start. Since Shakespeare uses some form of metaphorical and analogical style in his works, it's not easy interpreting what the lines really mean, some may have a deep meaning and other may have no meaning at all. Aside from his syle of language, there is also a moral for this story, even though it looks like a tragic and bloody play. The moral is that you should stay with your own ideals, and do what you think is best through the use of human intuition, I think thats what Shakespeare wanted to display, the weakness of human intuition and how easy it can be manipulated. All in all it is quite....poetic
And off we go, into the Making of Julius Caesar....
