Class on 3/1

I must start off thie post by saying nice job to group number two with their performance of cymbeline. I thought the idea of using a talk show to explain the plot of the story was an excellent very creative idea. If anyone missed this class day here are a few of the highlights from the presentation.
Cymbeline has elements of both tradgedy and comedy within the play. There is a clown like in most comic plays but at the same time there is no marriage at the end of the play which we have learned is a common expectation for comedies. However, the end of the play is not tragic so therefore the play is classified as a comedy.
I've never read Cymbeline before so I am not going to attemt to explain the plot because my own knowledge of it is very shakey. I found a website with a plot summary if anyone is interested. http://www.shakespeare-online.com/plots/cymbelineps.html
Some of the major themes in Cymbeline are: Fidelity v. trechary, appearance v. reality, redemption, and deception Also, all the subplots you've seen within previous plays. Anyway, for a more detailed description of the play as well as notes on the play I suggest checking out the blogs of any of the cast members. They probably know a lot more about it then I do.
