Shakespeare for the Sharer thereof
It seems like half the time when I try to share Shakespeare meaningfully with other people, they end up sharing it meaningfully with me. Last weekend I was talking to my friend who had come to the Merchant of Venice, and of course Shakespeare came up. We started talking about Henry V, and of course the St. Crispin's Day speech. Turns out, when he was younger, his father had offered each of the kids $20 to memorize the speech, which he promptly did. His dad loved that speech because when he was on his mission, his mission president gave a talk where he talked about the St. Crispin's Day speech, and after his mission, he went home and looked up the speech and loved it. So now, it's a tradition in their family to watch the movie each St. Crispin's day.
