My feeling is that he is generally right about those marriages dramatized by the plays, but that many plays end with companionate marriages that we are expected to see as "happily ever after." Of course not all comic marriages are of this type (I have trouble with the Duke and Isabella in MFM and Bertram and Helena in AWTEW to name two obvious ones), but there are quite a few. I'll name the one I'll be teaching this week: Perdita and Florizel in WT. W. Russ Mayes Jr.This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

In Macduff's day, perhaps the quickest way to get from Fife to London was not the train or the horse, but a ship. The ruins of Macduff's castle (so-called in Fife) are on the coast, some yards from the sea. Ergo, a ship. Would the presence of his family on this (supposed!) ship really slow the ship down? I always supposed that Macduff went by ship.

Is there a published collection? I have a vague recollection that there is one, but don't know any details. If opera versons count, I remember the Met broadcast that ended an act or so early when someone lept to their death from the balcony. Jerry BanghamThis email address is being protected from spambots.

Where did you get them? More to the point, where can I get them (or some of them?) Are they available for USA VCRs? And what price range are we talking about? Annalisa Castaldo Temple University [Annalisa: What I have is a complete set of the BBC TV Shakespeare editions, with the Peter Alexander text annotated to show cuts and with essays on the productions. The complete BBC videos are available from a number of vendors now. --HMC] (2)---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Elizabeth Driver <This email address is being protected from spambots.

First, have any of you tried teaching this play at the high school leved? If so, from what angle did you approach the play? Second, I am interested in the characters' uses of storytelling within WT. Does anyone know of studies concerning Shakespeare's use of stories within his plays? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Franks did some fascinating work at Minnesota in the 70's on the comprehension of metaphorical language (and relevant work with visual imagery) using a Chomskian, rather than behaviorist, approach. Bransford pulled this material and a lot more into his book, *Human Cognition: Learning, Understanding and Remembering* (Belmont, CA: Wadsworth, 1979). I can give you a slew of citations, if you want to contact me privately. Jim SchaeferThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Friday, 8 Apr 1994 23:14 MST Subject: Weather in Albuquerque Some people are wondering what kind of weather to expect in Albuquerque this next week. We had snow two weeks ago, the first since early December, but it melted in 2 hours. For the past week the highs have been 60 to 70 degrees, lows at night range from 30 to 50 degrees. It can be cold with wind, even when it is sunny, so don't come without a sweater or a coat, but it can be very WARM in the sun if there is no wind. However, spring is our windy season. For people flying into the area, that makes for some bumpy flights. Karla Walters Univ. of New Mexico (3)---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: K. Chin <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Friday, 08 Apr 1994 22:42:30 -0500 (CDT) Subject: I've seen hamlet trial. I caught a glimpse of that mock trial several weeks ago, and thought it was very entertaining. Both the prosecutor and defendant attorneys were eminent (and smart) lawyers ( once white house legal counselors as I recall). Witnesses include two psychiatrists. The arguments are all well prepared (one of the lawyers said he actually had a paralegal work on the facts) and thus enlightening (at least for me who know nothing in psychiatry) most of the time. For those who seldom watch C-SPAN, this is probably one of the good reasons these two channels should exist. :) Enjoy, Chin/Kansas, U. S.
