16 January 2018: "I understand nothing of the matter: I’m in a maze yet, like a dog in a dancing school." --Witwoud, in the last act of Congreve's The Way of the World
I taught this play today in my ENGL 311 class. It's only the second time I've done so and it still presents a lot of challenges. And it still makes me feel a bit like Witwoud in this passage. But my class and I had a great discussion today. Sometimes that dog in the dancing school can have fun, or at least entertain the other patrons.
