Two things struck me during this re-reading: 1) From the first scene of the play, the sexual puns are drenched in metaphorical violence (drawing your weapon, laying knife aboard, forcing women to the wall, etc,), creating a stark contrast with the purity of Romeo and Juliet's love and language, and 2)Mercutio, the Nurse and Old Capulet are something totally new both in Shakespeare and also in English drama, that is, characters who are not only realistic but whose language completely reflects their thought processes to the point where they take on a life of their own. Shakespeare would create many other such characters, but these three are the first.
I loved this idea. I want to have my own tiny house!! I loved many of the points he made about using community resources. One example he gave was instead of staying in to read a book where you would be using lights and heat. Go to the library where the heat and lights are already on and the book is free. I know people do a lot of things in summer to get some air conditioning, well same idea but with heat and light! If you pay for a gym membership take a shower there! He gave plenty of examples. I am single without kids. Not sure how practical this would be with kids.
I must say this is a great biography! This is a must read for ANY Nightwish fan!
