Reading six of crows and realising Kaz never feels uncomfortable showing his discomfort with the pain in his leg and always having to sit down, show visible signs of pain after exertion. But it’s always the viewer who sees this as a weakness and never Kaz himself. In his usual fashion, he uses this as adding another shield, so people don’t look at his actual weaknesses i.e. Inej and Jesper. It lends to the scene where he speaks with Wylan because of course Wylan has seen the way people perceive Kaz and how he treats that behaviour. And then watching the show and seeing Kaz easily walk up and down stairs with ease and moreover rappelling down buildings? Simply handing over his cane to Nikolai, his biggest shield to this random man he met mere weeks ago? As much as I want a s3 or the spin-off, do I really want it at the cost of completely stripping my favourite character’s struggles and arcs until they are no longer the Kaz Brekker everyone loves and admires??
I've decided to make a masterpost of free and full adaptations:
Richard III: here's the 1955 one with Laurence Olivier, and here's the 1995 one with Ian McKellen. (the 1995 one is in english subtitled in spanish. the 1955 one has no subtitles and might have ads since it's on youtube)
Richard II: here is the BBC version
Macbeth: here's the 1961 one with Sean Connery. Here's the 1971 by Roman Polanski, with spanish subtitles. Here's the 1948 one with portugese subtitles and here the 2001 one). The 1969 version with Ian McKellen and Judi Dench is here and the 1966 BBC radio one is here.
Hamlet: The Kenneth Branagh 1996 Hamlet is here, the 1964 russian version is here and the 1964 american version is here. THe american version has a young Michael Caine and a young Christopher Plummer. THe 1964 Broadway production is here, the 1948 Laurence Olivier one is here.
Timon of Athens is here. Troilus and Cressida can be found here
Julius Caesar: here's the 1979 BBC adaptation, here the 1970 John Gielgud one
King Lear: Laurence Olivier once again plays in here. And Gregory Kozintsev, who was I think in charge of the russian hamlet, has a kng lear here. The 1975 BBC version is here.
Henry IV: part 1 and part 2 of the BBC 1989 version. And here's part 1 of a corwall school version.
Henry V: Laurence Olivier (who would have guessed) 1944 version. The 1989 Branagh version here.
Much Ado About Nothing: Here is the kenneth branagh version and here the Tennant and Tate 2011 version.
Twelfth night: here for the BBC, here for the 1970 version with Alec Guinness, Joan Plowright and Ralph Richardson.
The Tempest: the 1979 one is here, the 2010 is here.
Please do contribute if you find more. This is far from exhaustive.
(also look up the original post from time to time for more plays)
Rereading Shakespeare and realizing your education system failed you because they didn’t care to teach you what the plays were actually about and their relevancy just focusing on passing a standardized test. You weren’t allowed to read between the lines and figure out characters because you could only view them the way they wanted you to view them. It’s such a cold-hearted way of reading any piece of literature. No wonder so many students grow up with a dislike for the subject you are given no freedom of thought just rote learning and suppression.
