Power, Revenge, and Feminist Critique: The Revenger's Tragedy at Wismer Theater, 11/11/11

Last night, a friend and I went to see a local production of The Revenger's Tragedy. I wanted to go because a production of it is a plot point in Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, which is one of my favorite books of all time, and I'd never seen it. My friend knows the director who told her about one of the aspects of her directorial choice that made feminists like us interested in it.

Thankfulness: November 12

Today I'm thankful for my high school English education. I may have complained about elements of it at the time, and I still think the way my school structured the IB program had a lot of problems, but in the end, I really learned how to write a four- to six-page paper on just about anything in barely any time at all. In college, I never spent more than three hours on any paper I wrote in English (papers written in Spanish took a little more time), and I wrote my post on The Revenger's Tragedy in an hour this morning.
