A To Z Challenge 2022: Shakespeare - Concluding Thoughts

 

It has been a very enjoyable month, challenging myself with my memories of the Bard. And it’s been a lot of fun hearing from you all, sharing your own thoughts on the works of Shakespeare. Thank you for that.

There were a lot of plays and characters I missed out on because there are so very many. I suppose I could have talked about a few of the sonnets. Just so you know, my favourite is not the one absolutely everyone knows, number 18, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day” but 130, “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun”, with its gentle humour.

Did you know there is a play he co-wrote, The Two Noble Kinsmen? I have the Riverside Shakespeare which includes it, but not many Complete Works have it. Maybe another year I can find a way to squeeze it in.

But I did cover my favourite plays. 

Every year I wonder if I should take part in the Challenge, and every year I come up with a subject that works for me and brings me fellow bloggers to join in and share the fun. And I like the fact that it makes me write something every day, even if it’s just a blog post.

I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of visitors than I got this year. I’m sorry if it took me a while to return your visits, but I have had some family commitments that interrupted me, making me give priority to posing over anything else. But I will be returning your visits in the next few days. 

I hope you will continue to visit me too, when The Great Raven gets back to normal. I’m planning a guest post and a review in the next couple of days. 

Thanks for your support, guys!
