I've always found her a bit stupid :( But well, at least she's pretty.

You're far too smart to be Juliet. You'd make a great Mercutio, though, with all the bawdy double-entendres.

Of all the women we've spent time with in Shakespeare so far, Eleanor of Aquitaine is the only one who is consistently bright and assertive (and a tad underhanded, but so much the better). This will change, of course, but it's a little depressing nonetheless.

Hmm... maybe you'd enjoy being a girl dressed as a boy getting the man who loves her but does not recognise her when she is dressed as a boy to court her male persona in order to practice courting a woman, the better to win her when she is a girl? I can sort of see you as Rosalind, but I haven't read As You Like It for years, so I can't be sure...

Catherine, who is very much looking forward to Rosalind herself

But I don't want to be a man. *pouts*

I'll leave Eleanor to alienor77310, as she already has the nickname to fit the part. But I do have Branagh's film on DVD, and I'm looking forward to watching it... In the meanwhile I'll just be a Molieran heroine. All his plays are written to fit his own troop, so there's always a strong, bosomy woman somewhere in the cast.

Ah yes - how could I forget the French princess in Henry V? I'll be very interested to know what you think of her! Actually, the French princess in Love's Labour's lost is more fun, really. She gets lots more to do.

And now I really MUST read some Molière.

Ah, I've yet to read Henry V. I do have the DVD (by Laurence Oliver) so that's an incentive to get started if there ever was one.

Oh, I'll be doubly interested, then. I haven't seen the Olivier version, but I gather it was very pro-war propagandistic (written late in WW2, or possibly just after); Branagh's I have heard described as almost a parody of this - I honestly can't see it as a parody, but he is definitely emphasising the horror of war rather than glorifying it. So I'll be very interested to read your review, if you write one.
