Shakespeare Blog Post 4 : Video Analysis

              The version of the party scene which is the "best" would have to be the reenactment from 1996. The reason for this is that the other two videos are of the same premise; lacking emotion and simply reiterating lines of the play. The newest version gives the words meaning, and allows one to fully visualize and understand the feelings of the characters. Furthermore, the version from 1996 modernizes the play, giving it a new perspective. No longer are all the characters in Shakespearean outfits and settings, rather now they are placed in a relative setting to our lives.

2. Modernization : the play is no longer based upon Shakespearean time
