I chose the movie "She's the Man" as my
Shakespeare appropriation, because I didn't know it was based on one of
Shakespeare's works until recently even though I saw the movie a while ago.
This movie is based on "Twelfth Night," which I have never read.
That's probably the reason why I never realized the two are actually very
similar. After doing a little research, I found out the basic plots are
similar. I found it interesting to find out that most of the characters' names
are also the same. There are also references to "Twelfth Night" in
the movie. Even though a lot of the things in the movie and play are similar,
there are quite a few differences. Now I'm even more excited to read "Twelfth
Night" sometime so that I can compare and contrast the two.
