My reading/learning plan for this week is as follows:
Watch King Lear (see below)
Read The Tempest
Begin looking a little into correlation, biographically, between William Faulkner and William Shakespeare.
I believe that one of Faulkner's books, The Sound and The Fury, was directly influenced by The Tempest, and I'd like to look into that as well. Now that our breadth requirement of reading a play from each genre is complete I will be able to do some depth studies. If I can find enough evidence about William's influence on William, I'll read some of William's works that were influenced by William.
