All the World’s an Inside Stage

My research involves a comparative analysis of Shakespeare’s As You Like It and the television program A Man on the Inside, with particular attention to the character Jaques and the monologue “All the World’s a Stage,” looking at commentary, critique, and interpretations. I will also be looking at “Rosalynde, Euphues Golden Legacie” and “The Tale of Gamelyn,” and excerpts from Macbeth and Henry V.
