She
embraces him.
-Polixenes
The Winter’s Tale
Act V Scene iii, Line 111
Today’s line sounds more like a stage
direction than a line. Nonetheless, it is today’s Totally Random line. And a nice short one it
is. She embraces him: subject, verb, and object. It doesn’t get all that much
simpler than that. In fact, a bit unshakespearean if you don’t mind my saying.
She embraces him. I’m not even sure why we have this line. Certainly, the
audience can see that she is embracing him. Soooooo, what’s with this line?
Anyone? See, this is the part where I
really wish I had some people reading this blog who might give some thoughts on
this. Oh well. Nobody reads it: subject, verb, and object.
Here we have a picture of today's blogpost readers; who, coincidentally, is also today's blogpost writer.

Context might help. Who is Polixenes talking to? Who is he referring to? Is someone blind? Is someone not paying attention?
