Question:
Shakespeare's Representation of Reading and Writing
This solution briefly delivers some help with brainstorming the following:
In each of the plays (listed below) there is at least one scene in which a character reads a letter, a note, or a book. I am looking for help as to Shakespeare's representation of reading and writing. What is Shakespeare up to when he stages scenes of reading and writing?
What are some reasons he includes these scenes in his works?
