Oh, he absolutely was for women's rights. The man was quite progressive. If you were to read the plays like As You Like It or Twelfth Night and see the way he places women in these positions of dominance by making them men, you could make the correlation. Those are always funny, though. In the 1600s, women couldn't be onstage at all, so their parts were played by young men. So in a play about a cross dressing woman, you'd be seeing a young man playing a woman who is playing a man. Then in these plays, the women playing men then act like women to present certain concepts to the men in the play, like in AYLI where the woman is pretending to play herself. Suddenly you have a young man playing a woman who is playing a man who is acting like a woman. Confused, yet?
Also, the way that most of the women are dominant in many of the plays (Lady Macbeth basically makes Macbeth; Love's Labour's Lost houses a multitude of brilliant women, etc...), it's obvious that he felt the power of women goes far beyond aesthetic beauty.

I'm embarrassed because I've never read Merchant, but I had a feeling there was some social implications going on, there. you've never read the merchant of venice? /seriously /shocked : o Oh yeah. I've only read like eleven of his plays and a handful of sonnets. I'm in no way a Shakespeare authority, but I guess I just get carried away by what I have read. I would like to read the rest, though.

I got my ARC to 10, then I got kinda antsy to leave so I switch to my MRD to just spam the storyline (and get it to 20 :p)
Might go back to doing ARC today.

Went exploring to mor dhone also ... (cause the FC was talking about how you can get DL gear and whatnot)
then I found out ... all that cracked materia on my gear ... only got me like 115 of those stupid seals... so I can't get anything :(
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
