So maybe I am just slow, but did you guys know that the movie She's the Man is the modern day version of Twelfth Night?!?! She's the man is the movie with Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum? I was reading Twelfth Night and kept thinking, why does Orcino, Viola, Olivia, Malvolio, all these names sound so familiar? It's the movie shes's the man!! ahh I'm so excited i figured that out and that movie is amazing. Well anyways, I really like Twelfth Night and think it is super funny and one of my new favorite shakespeare plays. I liked the scene where Viola and Orcino are talking and she is totally hinting at the fact that she is a woman and in love with him but he just doesn't get it. When Viola says, "Say that some lady, as perhaps there is, Hath for your love as great a pang of heart as you have for Olivia. You cannot love her. You tell her so. Must she not then be answered" (ln. 88-91)? These lines made me sad! This is like the ultimate plea from a girl for a boy to like her! And Orsino, like all blind guys says there is no one. I thought that was kind of a funny, pathetic part and very applicable. ;) I like twelfth night a lot!

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're right. That Shakespeare--he just never knew that he was going to write movie scripts.
