Shakespeare Queries From Genuinely Interested Students
April 2 1997 Edition


Welcome to Shakespeare Queries From Genuinely Interested Students, April 2 1997 Edition.

All students who are truly interested in learning more about Shakespeare and would not even think of posting a query before they'd thought a lot about the topic in question are welcome to post their queries here, especially in they are related to homework or essay assignments given by their teachers.

Such students are also welcome to post queries of more general interest, unrelated to particular homework or essay assignments, on the main Shakespeare Queries & Replies From Everyone Else board.

On the other hand, students too lazy to think about their homework or essay assignments themselves before shouting "URGENT! HELP!" at other visitors to the Shakespeare Web should reserve their postings for the Shakespeare Queries From Lazy or Unwilling Students board. Any such queries found here will be deleted at Prospero's earliest convenience.

Please read Prospero's Shakespeare Queries & Replies Policy Statement before posting for the first time.
