Shakespearean themes

In She's the Man, I think that the movie relates to Shakespear's A Mid-Summer Night's Dream. This had mistaken identity, a love triangle, and star-crossed lovers. This highschool staged Shakespearean themed movie involves a girl, pretending she's her brother while she goes to a soccer summer camp. The guy that she loves, loves her sister which is really her, but shes pretending to be her brother. And many other love triangles within there.

In my comic strip, I used mistaken identity, and a love triangle in my plot. Pretty girl, Mildrid, and ugly hag, Jamie are in love with Prince Carter. Prince Carter loves Mildrid. But then a fairy decides to have some fun and makes Carter fall in love with Jamie. But then Mildrid kills Jamie and the fairy's magic is broken. And everything is lovely, except for the death of the beloved wench, Jamie. =]

Whitney, I really enjoyed how you described the plot and how it relates to Shakespear's play back then. I also thought it was funny that you killed Jamie in your comic strip haha. (no offense Jamie) All together though it was a good post.

Well you know what, I hate you. I think your first paragraph is good. Thats what i wrote about but mine probably doesnt even make sense because I dont remeber the movie but I kinda made it up. And about your comic strip.. I dont think its very good. I mean I love that you were thinking about me in all, butttt no. love youuu

I liked your way of discrbing the Shakespearean stories with She's the Man and how they connect. But the best part of this blog is your paragraph about the comic strip. I agree with you on everything else though.
