The "Shrew," in Review

Just wanted to do a quick wrap-up of some of the things I accomplished last week during my reading of "The Taming of the Shrew."  Here's what I did:

• I read the play and watched a BBC theatrical rendition on DVD
• I read the short story version of the play in the Lambs' "Tales of Shakespeare"
• I analyzed the play using a business "Change Management" lens

I don't think I'm done with this play--I'd like to return to it for some more in-depth analysis later in the semester--but last week I was able to familiarize myself with the characters and plot and beginning thinking about the critical possibilities.
