Shakespeare in Love

I have no idea what the historical Shakespeare was.

In the film, however, Shakespeare looks like a clear Four. (He writes about emotions, resents Marlowe slightly,
who is the more famous writer, acts on his emotions ignoring personal danger, etc.)
Ditto, Viola, with whom he falls in love. (It's a classic Four-Four pairing, intense and both parties know that
it can't go anywhere.)

Lord Wessex, whom Viola is to marry, dunno. He could well be an Eight - he's upfront and open about his motives,
and challenges people when he thinks he's losing face. I'm not sure about the scene in the church after Marlowe
is killed, however... Which is a nice scene and I'm not going to spoil it for anybody.

Other characters, I leave for other people.

PS Jan - could you see if you could archive some of the older messages on the board please? It takes a long time
to load this board these days.
