Due Tuesday. Finish Money. Also watch the Charlie Rose interview with Amis, posted in this blog. Comment on the theme of "acting" or being an "actor" and the related theme, mentioned on Wednesday by James, of Shakespeare. You'll find significant references to acting on pages 70, 72, 115, 126, 175, 188, 200, 205, 210, 223, and 347. You'll find references to Shakespeare on 54, 59-60, 61, 63, 124, 127, 137-139, 141, 168, 172, 184-5, 193-4, 200, 220-221, 226-227, 235, 276-278 (Othello), 338, 343. How do these related themes relate to the overall concerns of Money? If it helps here's a relevant quote from the Bard himself.
