MACFLECKNOE

Actually I found this work interesting because it included a different way of criticising someone. Also I found its way of writing smart, I mean John Dryden never gave the name of Shadwell, he abbreviated Thomas Shadwell with “Sh---“. Hereby Shadwell could never prove the poem was about him. “Sh---“ was also stood for “shit”. I am really fulled with admiration to the work.

I do not think that stupidity of someone can be ridiculed better or in the same way. Some people can think that it is absolutely wrong to laugh at someone’s being untalented and dull. I do not agree with them. It is more fun to be like this. J According to my search about John Dryden on web, he always wanted to satisfy people. I found that someone like that wrote a poem like MacFlecknoe also interesting. Actually I really wondered the other works of the writer after I learned this work.
