And I use the term gentlemen very, very loosely. Writing the romantic escapades of Proteus, Valentine, Julia, and Sylvia was Shakespeare’s first foray into the ways love makes us absolutely f%&king stupid. And calls into question the importance of love versus friendship. Is a wife/girlfriend/lover more important than your best bud? We’ve heard the phrase “bro’s before ho’s” or even “sister’s before mister’s” to affirm that friendship conquers all? It’s all a very confusing world, a world that reminds me of good old college days. And who doesn’t get drunk and serenade some chick outside her window with your guitar… after a couple shots of tequila. And when you get the hots for your new friend, who’s supposed to be helping you win the most popular girl is school’s heart, well some people do some pretty stupid things.
Shakespeare’s ability to transcend time and continue to be relevant is especially true of Two Gentlemen of Verona… or is that Two Dudes of Colorado?
