If you missed class on Wednesday, you missed a great conversation that provided a lot of insight into both The Merchant of Venice and the sonnets, some in particular, others in general.

There is no class on Thursday. You are to use the time to drop by my office with questions, work on your essay, annotations or whatever is needed, or to get started reading the next play, The Comedy of Errors. Friday is a drama club day and I'll be out of town, chaperoning my son's field trip, which just happens to mean I'll be skiing. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. If you have questions on your paper, which is due Monday, stop by my office Thursday, or email me, or blog a question. Either way, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
