Shakespeare Considerations

[12ogue]

Shakespeare has always been one of those playwrights everybody my age loves to hate but I secretly enjoy.

I believe I was the only one who actually loved reading Romeo and Juliet several times. That being my favorite of his plays, his other ones including Hamlet and the Tempest were equally fantastic.

Obviously I haven't read much of his plays, but now that I have the time to freely read them without worrying about essays, which ones do you think are the most interesting out of his works?

 

[Lindon Tinuviel]

I once went through his entire collected works as though it was a novel. Took me a few days.

I, too, love The Tempest. I would add MacBeth as one of my all-time favorites.

 

[NeoScribe]

Much Ado about Nothing is funny and Macbeth I've heard is good.

I sympathize with you, 12ogue. Very few people in my school can actually name a Shakespeare play other than R&J. I couldn't either till I managed to purchase his works (and 52 other books of the same set) for 3 bucks.

 

[Lindon Tinuviel]

You got 54 books for three bucks? I gotta start shopping where you shop.

 

[NeoScribe]

You would definatly be suprised at what small city libraries sell when they have no room. In addition to those, I've gotten $8 books for 25 cents, and $23 books for a buck. But I stil almost had a heart attack when that monster of a series was put up for 3 dollars.

My favorites are Macbeth, Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing, and A Comedy of Errors.

I don't quite get the hatred/lack of knowledge about Shakespeare. Everybody I know at school loves his stuff

 

[Peace Eternal]

I love Macbeth and his Henry and Richard ones. And almost all his other plays. The only one I can't stand to read is Antony and Cleopatra.

 

[Shabby]

The Taming of the Shrew and King Lear are probably my favorite Shakespeare plays.

I was in Macbeth once. It's fantastic! I also like Othello, Richard III, and a Midsummer Night's Dream.

...Oh...and I didn't like Romeo and Juliet =/ Sorry...

Something wicked this way comes!
Open, locks...whoever knocks!"
