Hanna challenges the common conception of Lady Macbeth’s power and being a feminist icon. This character’s call to be “unsexed” points at “penis envy” and her nonexistence beyond Macbeth (she doesn’t even have a name) #ardinglyshakespeare

In room B2 Louise Taylor weighs in on the #metoo movement through such plays as The Tempest, King Leer. She twists the sexist ideas of “female madness” into their true form- lack of scientific understanding, consent and anatomy #ardinglyshakespeare

Tom Hillier In B1 discussing” To what extent does identity and belonging effect relationships in Romeo and Juliet? “ #ardinglyshakespeare

[ArdinglyEnglish @ArdinglyEnglish]

Rosalind takes a male role of almost directing the action in the play in act 5 an unexpected role, as she transcends the expected role she is supposed to fit as a woman. #ardinglyshakespeare

[ArdinglyEnglish @ArdinglyEnglish]

Some interesting questions being brought up in B3: “How does Hamlets relationship with his mother effect his relationship with Ophelia?”

[ArdinglyEnglish @ArdinglyEnglish]

Michael Hawkey offers up a paper on Rosalind’s place in the play of As You Like It #ardinglyshakespeare

Dr. Laleh analysing "the dropping of the bass" as a Dionysian moment

Finally, Dr. Laleh's annual Nietzschean reading of Shakespeare! What esoteric, angsty conclusions will we reach today?

Othello has lost his soul to shame and Desdemona a poster girl for the “gone too soon girl” trope a thrilling claim made in Kaylene’s paper #ardinglyshakespeare

[ArdinglyEnglish @ArdinglyEnglish]

Chloe Beveridge will now be talking about: “Oedipus complex: does Hamlet fancy his mother or his uncle?”

[ArdinglyEnglish @ArdinglyEnglish]

Othello feels as though Desdemona is the devil despite Iago being the real devil, as he obsesses over her supposed infidelity Kaylene Leona claims in B4 #ardinglyshakespeare

[ArdinglyEnglish @ArdinglyEnglish]

Now for the main man - Dr Klinge’s paper: “Shakespeare’s bastards” #ardinglyshakespeare #shakespeare #bastard
