oh this wasen't purposely becoming a one-on-one conversation...just no one else was really posting <.<
yeah for romeo and juliet my english class is supposed to read it...but considering our teacher, who usually plans to many books, and we don't get enough time..but if we read it then we would watch the movie version with Leo Decaprio and Claire Danes, and that version i wanna see cause of how it is more modern like...and i mean that just sounds amusing to me :tongue:
Nightbird:
Hamlet & Macbeth are trajedies, and I have heard that Othello is dense material aw well. I wouldn't mind reading, I fully understand how life is unfair. It's also nice to know it could be worse. Whenever you feel pessimistic,realise that your life is always going to be better than one of the "groundlings" at Shakepeare's performances.
Anyone like Wlliam's Histories? I love Plantagnet/Tudor England so it is natural. His Richard III though has mislead alot of people. He wasn't really deformed lthat bad, one shouldar was bigger than the other though.
My favorite Shakespeare lines:
All the world is a stage, and the men and women are merely players, with princes to direct, and monarchs to behold the swealtering scene!- Henry V, probably misquoted but this is from memory.
Side note, I found it amusing that red is both the color of the Montagues & the Autobots while purple is the color of both the Capulets and the Decepticons. Makes you wonder how much Shakespeare has influenced the Western world?

I'm studying 'A Midsummer Nights Dream' for my A Levels (British exam jargon) lol
I studied Romeo and Juliet for my GCSE's (more British Jargon)
and a few more lower down the school.
I find Shakespeare quite interesting now as you find out so much more beneath the surface of his work. He was so clever to capture the essence of real speech and not make it appear stylised. ^_^
Unfortunately some essays can be boring ^^; especially if its the 100th one you've written XDD
Nightbird:
I like his Henry V the best now, Fair Kate is one of my favorite people. I love Queens.
I am at the begining of Act Two for Romeo & Juliet. How do you like Mercutio? And that Tybalt!
Ralea:
Anyone watched the modern version of Romeo and Juliet? The one with Leonardo de Caprio? Weirdness! Haha!
