No reading or work for Friday, unless you want to start reading our next book, Congreve's play, The Way of the World (1700). Though written in prose and far less complex than Shakespeare, it still takes some getting used to as the entire work is full of wit and innuendo; it can easily go over your head if you read too fast.
For Friday's class, I want to introduce you to the world of the Restoration (and what that term even means), so you can appreciate what Congreve was trying to do--and who he was writing for (a slightly different audience than Shakespeare).
DON'T FORGET to start memorizing Sonnets! The deadline fast approaches!
