Twelth Night
As part of my research I watched a film of Shakespeares Twelth Night – I struggled following the language but due to studying it at school sort of knew what the over all story line was. The film itself was done fantastically! And I was actually highly impressed with it!
This is one of the Shakespearian stories that I thought would be most relievant to the Punk story as it is one in which chaos ensues due to a young woman dressing in her brothers cloths believing her brother is dead. Washed up on a hostile shore she ends up working for a Count who is trying to woow another astocrate and failing. Viola dressed as a man finds herself enlisted to go and try and woo the Lady for her Master – but Viola falls in love with the Count and the LAdy falls in love with the boy Viola is preporting to be!
Just as things start to get really hairy for the young woman her brother appears but of course other think he is his sister :/ if you follow!
Anyway it all gets sorted out and most of the characters have a happy ending – now the reason I was so interested in this is that I wanted to involve Shakespeare in my storyline and obviously I need to check dates but I am thinking that this story could be a direct consequence of a friendship with the Punk!
I have also heard that Shakespeare was a closest Catholic which could attempt.
