Out of Context?


It is interesting to me how one could make the argument that both of us have pulled bits of Shakespeare out of context to apply them to our lives. We in school have taken our background and applied it to the work.. We have goals that we are desperately battling for.. it is fare to call it a war.. a war against all those with the same dream because of the competition that grades and this society has forced on us.. that this university has forced on us!! The goal is to be the best and the sword, if your not you will fall to way side, you will be killed!

Its interesting to me that all though out time we have and seam to forever be at war with something and that is what Shakespeare chose to base his conceits on.. it is therefore something that every human being can relate to, so then the question is it therefore really out of context or is that the point. I'm with you i think that is why Shakespeare was great, he pulled from the most basic and lifelong struggles and principles and therefore we can relate even today.
