Shakespeare Sunday

My mom has been watching this show where there are many characters who are trying to make everybody around them miserable.  There is one man, who's evil wife is forcing him to commit a Noble Sacrifice, for the sake of those whom he loves.  The Noble Sacrifice is a common motif in many stories.  Shakespeare made use of many such themes and motifs, which are what allow his stories to transcend time.  You could set one of his plays in any time or place, and it would still work.  An example of this is the movie She's The Man, which is based on the play Twelfth Night, but is set in modern times.  This is pretty much all I have for today, but I made a goal to blog every day, so I can now go to sleep happy!
