There’s no place for Shakespeare to hide in this 20-minute episode! Not only does this episode give you an act-by-act breakdown of what is happening in Love’s Labour’s Lost, so you can better understand the action in the play, I also tell you when it was written, what might have inspired it, and what is the key theme you need to know about.
[1:01] “Unlike other plays, we don’t have, or aren’t conclusively sure, of a primary source that Shakespeare was inspired by.”
[7:17] “… as always in Shakespearean comedy the women are cleverer and wittier than the men.”
[14:39] “It’s like the Spider-Man meme where they are all pointing at each other—The King, Longavilla, and Dumaine.”
[18:35] “But did Shakespeare intend to come back to these couples? There is a play lost to us modern readers called, Love’s Labour’s Won.”
