So . . . popcorn anyone?

If you haven't been able to tell, I'm finding the first part of A Winter's Tale slow and quite frankly boring. I've decided to compare in my mind the gist of what goes on, specifically King Leontes, to the bad aspects of old age--slow moving, repetitive, and obstinate to name a few.

I should also mention I'm biased against Winter, we don't get along very well. I'm always looking forward to when it ends, excited for the green and fresh Spring. I'm not quite sure about everything that Shakespeare is using, but the background imagery and subtlety that I get from it is super effective. I'm going to go take a nap . . .
