Your participation in postings, pictures, links and your responses to other student's posts will determine your final grade. The goal of this blog is to supplement what has been discussed, read or written in class. Occasionally I will post a query or task with the expectation that you will eagerly respond. The same respect and diplomacy that is expected of you in the classroom extends to blogging space.

For those of you working on Emilia's character:

"But I do think it is their husbands' faults
If wives do fall. Say that they slack their duties
And pour our treasures into foreign laps'
Or else break out in peevish jealousies,
Throwing restraint upon us;or say they strike us,
Or scant our former havin in despite-
Why, we have galls; and though we have som grace;
Yet we have some revenge. Let husbands know
Their wives have sense like them. THey see, and smell,
And have their palates both for sweet and sour,
As husbands have. What is it they do
When they change us for others? Is it sport?
I think it is. And doth affection breed it?
I think it doth. Is't frailty that tus errs?
It is so too. And have not we affections,
Desires for sport, and frailty, as men have?

Then let them use us well; else let them know,
The ills we do, their ills instruct us so." (4.3.83-100)

IF anyone else needs help on this character I found that outside sources help a whole lot.

I used wikipedia and found it very helpful.
