Background
I began this blog with no real semblance of theme other than that I wanted to have fun learning about Shakespeare. My natural inclinations have led me to pursue business-oriented themes and tie them back to Shakespeare. While following this business theme, my ideas and posts have still been somewhat scattered. I did the following:
- Read professional criticism on Leadership in Henry the V
- Analyzed elements of behavior change in Taming of the Shrew
- Performed a close reading to critique Othello as a leader
- Searched for the bottom line of A Winter's Tale
- Used two (Aesthetic Taste, Andrew Carnegie) different approaches to pursue the economic elements of Shakespeare
After two months, I've narrowed my research down to Shakespeare as a product. I will continue the blog with a very specific interest in identifying how Shakespearean theater acts as a marketable, revenue-generating product.
