Sassy gay friend romeo and juliet

And Juliet Capulet certainly could've used

Have suggestions for reactions? Well then what are yo. And Juliet Capulet certainly could've used a sassy gay friend as she was about to commit suicide. He would've doled out blunt advice like, "I think you're fourteen and you're an idiot.". a humor sketch from the Second City Network's series "Sassy Gay Friend." In this video, Sassy Gay Friend intervenes in Romeo and Juliet.

“It’s not vintage if you’ve been wearing it since it wasn’t,” says Sassy Gay Friend, a character we love from Second City. He’s hilariously tackled Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet and Othello, dishing out. “Othello,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Hamlet” - these are some of the canonic works that students are required to read at some time throughout their school careers.

Interestingly enough, all the female leads in those plays die because of their ill-fated connections with the central male figures. All videos I have used are from Second City Network. Have you ever found yourself disappointed in the outcome of a Shakespearean play? Well, if you had a chance to enter and change any of the Shakespearean plays, what play would you choose and how would you do it? In another sense, it can also be considered that the matter-of-fact criticism of SFG is just another manifestation of the characteristics of gay language.

SFG similarly achieves that humor by referring to lines of the original texts, and inserting his own interpretation of it. Are there any stalkers on my ground? Such kinds of new texts using different forms of media attempt to play down Shakespeare while reinforcing his importance at the same time.

I shall then end again with questions some are just random. What are waiting for them outside the texts? Will they be as sassy as SFG? This is quite and interesting piece of advice to women today whose lives are ill-fatedly revolving around their men. A gay friend to the rescue could be ever so useful, but, what tragedy then would transpire? But wait, they hyrbridized Shakespeare! And with this new plots that people make up new circumstances about the supposedly dead girls.

It would be interesting if the closes friends of these women were gay in a new film or theatre adaptation of Shakespeare, might change peoples minds or may be not. I think the SFG is actually helping them escape all dilemmas they are experiencing. Like the Othello or Juliet! I guess their life after being saved became more of hell on earth than being in hell itself. Transmedial Shakespeare Studying Shakespeare beyond his text.

Sassy Gay Friend Saves the Day! His view on their situations are really pragmatic and realistic. Some guy ends up with your handkerchief so your husband gets to murder you? I gave a cough drop to King Lear last week. Does that mean i had sex with him? His act to rewrite their tragic fates makes the characters realize that they are too dependent on and subservient to their male partners. And like a therapy session with a psychologist, he then gives the characters pieces of advice on how to deal with the problems and asks them to leave their respective scenes.
