Sorry – very boring lesson today going over the Close Reading prelim. Hope you now know why you didn’t get full marks. If not, ask me!
By the way, Matt has kindly given me a copy of the film of “A View from the Bridge”. It starts very differently from the play but soon morphs into a fairly accurate, word-for-word version of it. If any of you would like to comment, I’d be interested to know whether you would like to watch it at any point. Failing that, you could just tell me, of course, or email. Bear in mind that it's fairly old (1961), black and white and quite scratchy. However, if you haven't seen it, it would be a good and fairly restful way of revising the play. It lasts about 2 hours so we could do it over either 1 or 2 weeks. Or not.
Should you be enthusiastic enough to want your own copy, you could get it from http://stores.blowoutdvd1.com/-strse-23/A-View-From-The/Detail.bok

Read the blog.
It could certainly be interesting to watch the filmed version of "A View from the Bridge". Perhaps seeing it as it was intended (albeit on a screen) might help our understanding of it.
And it's an excuse to watch a film in class.
