As I read the Shakespeare article it brought to mind my least favorite of his works, namely The Taming of the Shrew- you know, kate is beaten into submission by Petruchio until she becomes a suitable wife for him. I hate that! You know this was written way before the feminist movement- hopefully Elizabeth I never had to endure this production!

fascinating article I found also mentioned that there were evidently high leveles of mercury in Shakespeare's body upon death and that this could be the result of treatment for syphillis. Did he have syphillis? I guess in that time period I should not be surprised.

I read an interesting article today that talked about how much Shakespeare actually hated his wife and how it was a "shotgun" wedding- the bride, about eight years his senior, was already pregnant and he felt obligated to marry her. Do any of you Shakespeare scholars give any credence to this argument?
