Poison poured into the ear kills the father of what titular Shakespeare character, who sees his dad as a ghost throughout the play?
And by the way, did you know that Shakespeare might have written a sequel to his comedy Love’s Labour’s Lost? That play ends in something of a cliff-hanger (Shakespeare defers the weddings that customarily tie up his comedic plots), and several of the playwright’s contemporaries mention in their writings a work called—you guessed it—Love’s Labour’s Won.
If Won existed, it has, ironically, been lost. It would have been unusual, too, considering that no one at the time really wrote sequels to comedies. Then again, no one said “laughingstock” or “wild goose chase,” either—until Shakespeare came along.
See you tomorrow!
