I have a horribly painful confession that I have never read or seen Much Ado (it's RIDICULOUS, I know, and it's next on my list but I'm a bit ashamed tbh!) but it's definitely Shakespeare-risqué banter, you're not wrong. Sometimes he even lets women banter, like in As You Like It and it's wonderful!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-56239887319052405772015-10-03T08:10:10.327+01:002015-10-03T08:10:10.327+01:00I kind of see them as practice attempts at novels ...I kind of see them as practice attempts at novels before they got actually good, with, let's say, Austen.

I second your bullshit on that, because do you REMEMBER the way he was enjoying his Virgin Mary painting? Don't anybody look at that painting with a black light.<br /><br />I was thinking---and you'll have to tell me if it's silly---but I was thinking that Lorenzo and Christoval's banter, when it's just the two of them, felt super Shakespeare-esque. Like Much Ado About Nothing, specifically.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-17138567690776211282015-10-02T16:10:23.279+01:002015-10-02T16:10:23.279+01:0018th Century books are indeed the worst, but oddly...18th Century books are indeed the worst, but oddly that's why I like them.

I want to see all of the crazy stuff that happens with our titular Monk but I would ALSO like to see a bunch of Leonella shenanigans.<br /><br />"I am almost inclined to believe it since the sight of ONE MERE BOOB was enough to start all of his sexual motors and to almost turn the end of chapter two into a Mills and Boon style bodice ripper. Imagine if she'd shown him two boobs? He'd probably have died." Yes, he def would have died had he seen both of them at once.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-32672016353045919642015-10-01T18:11:13.163+01:002015-10-01T18:11:13.163+01:00Yeah I don't think Ambrosio could've survi...Yeah I don't think Ambrosio could've survived a two-boob onslaught.Reading Rambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614467198216577755noreply@blogger.com
