Shakespeare experiences and class notes

My experience with Shakespeare has been purely from the acting spectrum. Being cast as Hermia (as you all know) in the fifth grade. I still remember the show quite vividly. Hermia is the "catch" of the land. Lysander and Demetrius both love her. However, she only loves Demetrius. Helena loves Lysander. There is then a huge debockle in the forest with the fairy king and queen whom are feuding... etc. I am also very familiar with Romeo and Juliet. But then again, who isn't? I was also cast in Macbeth as a senior in High School. I played Malcolm. I have been taught things about William Shakespeares life throughout High School. Also studying a number of his sonnets. That is it however, so I am excited to mesh mythology with Shakespeare. Here we go.
