Shakespeare?

[Kirobaito]

It's his birthday today yay! Happy birthday.

Shakespeare's birthday was in April, dude.

To sum up Shakespeare in schools: Much ado about Nothing.

First thing to do with a time machine - kill Shakeapeare.

[Zeldy]

Im doing Macbeth in English. Its quite violent

[Lost Number]

Same here. I got killed cos I was Duncan. We have to act it out.

[escobert]

Macbeth is the greatest play to ever grace the face of the earth.

I'm by no means an expert on Shakespeare, but from the little that I've read I've come to the conclusion that his work isn't all that great. What did he have to say? Did any of his plays actually have any relevant message? I haven't read most of his stuff, but something like Romeo and Juliet isn't all that thought provoking, from what I remember.

[escobert]

But, Macbeth is just so so awesome seriouly read is nikO

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Macbeth is amazing. I was lucky enough tto see it preformed live also. It is just amazing.

I do not mind Hamlet, and I liked Twelth Night and Midsummer Night's Dream.

Over all I really like Shakespeare, for English not being my strong point in academics, Shakespeare always treated me well.

I never really got into Shakespeare. I can't stand the style in which he writes; really flowery speech, and all that. Plus, yeah, I hate that school forces his stuff on us. Maybe I'll give him another go after I'm doing with all that, and maybe I'll think differently. I'd like to appreciate him.

Yea, today is Mozart's birthday.

I love his tragedies, especially King Lear. What an amazing piece of work.

ive only really read a midsummers nights dream in english class, and i saw the crappy movie on top of that lol, anyways since its grade nine, im sure that this is one of his simpler stories, but i really like the romeo and juliet forshadowing (pyramus and thisby)

Oddly, I just finished a re-reading of Macbeth. Shakespeare is excellent; probably the most skilled wordsmith in the history of English literature, and quite an astute commenter on the human condition as well.

King Lear is probably his best work, yes.

Romeo and Juliet is inferior, dude. Read Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear; those are his three best works.

...Read <i>Hamlet</i> or <i>King Lear</i> (both tragedies) or <i>Taming of the Shrew</i> (comedy) before you pass judgment. Shakespeare is great.

iirc She's All That was also based after a Shakespeare play, but I can't remember which one.
