so, of all the Shakespearean plays yu have read, which do you love the most???
that is ofcourse if you’ve read any all.
know which one i love so much? i like it so much, that i always enjoy reading it during my free time as if it’s a normal novel. <<kay, now you definetly think i have a boring, stiff personality>>
but i love “Julius Cesar”! That play sets such good examples of so many things. And so much more.
i’m sure that if i am given the chance, i will like “Merchant of Venice” as well. I tried to read that play one time, but i got confused by the end of Act II so i stopped.
what’s your fav. shakespearean play?
A Man no choose no Woman, the Woman chooses the Man
I love "A mid summer night's dream" by Shakespear. Also like "Merchant of Venice."
By my all time favorite is "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. Excellent novel.
i TRIED sooo hard to read "A Midsummer's Night Dream" but i got totally lost by Act III cuz you know how Puck falls in love with the wrong girl and it's a web in who falls in love with who. confoosingg
"King Laer", for some reason, reminds me of "Othello" -- doubt it if they're the same. i have read neither but have heard plenty of 'em.
oh, "Much Ado about Nothing," i think, is a cute play.
A Man no choose no Woman, the Woman chooses the Man
hmm shakespeare eh ... My 3 favorite plays are ...
1) Julius Ceasar -- I think this play is excellent .. Julius' last line show how shocked he was and it makes one think about a lot of things. 'Et tu, Brute! Then fall, Caesar.'
2) The Merchant of Venice -- It's good too but not excellent ...
3) Romeo and Juliet -- this play has some flaws but it's pretty good overall. The 'Queen Mab' speech given by Mercutio is amazing.
:)I guess that's about it.

Not only is the story unique, with the idea of upholding principles, misunderstandings of actions and words but the language is just brilliant.
I don't think Shakespeare's handled buffer scenes and audience breathers as well as he did in Caesar. And the language is just tops..the most amazing lines. Among the ones that struck me on the first reading when I was 15 I think, were ones like (metellus cimber's) "..his silver hairs will buy us good opinion.." ...and "brutus, he did run upon his sword" and "cassius, set in the red/orange sun" or something. Just an endless stream of beautiful language.
If you enjoyed the likes of Caesar, MND, and Hamlet to some degree you will absolutely ** love** Bernard Shaw's * Pygmalion * and * Major Barbara*. Trust me.
