I like the way that Shakespeare wrote his novels

I actually hated the story of Romeo and Juliet. Two stupid teenagers in a starcrossed "romance".
*sigh*. Killing yourself for love is not blissful or romantic, it's stupid.

[quote="whitewolf17"]I think Shakespeare is okay. I'm not a big fan of a-lot of his works but some are good. My school has a "Shakespeare club" which is all about Shakespearian things and our school also competes in a competition with other schools by performing Shakespeare plays which I was in last year, and am in this year.[/quote]

There's how I feel about Shakespeare. But I'm not in high school anymore so I'm not in the club :sad:

It's not stupid, It's beautiful. The fact that they're love was so strong, that they were willing too die for eachother was surely just brilliant writting. I didn't care for R&J as a whole, but it was an amazing scene.

No, it wasn't.
As I said before killing yourself for someone else is not romantic, it's stupid.
Romeo and Juliet knew eachother for what? A day? Met eachother across a crowded room, at some party. It wasn't love it was merely lust and infatuation.
I think what William was trying to convey when he wrote this play was not to make the ultimate love story. But to simply show how dumb, teenagers really are. Im not saying they were stupid, but their actions sure were.
Brilliant writing, I agree. But Romeo and Juliet was not a great romance.

Let's see I've read:

Romeo and Juliet (to be honest, I think this story have been WAY overdone too many times in movies and other stories)

Julius Caesar

Winter's Tale

The Comedy of Errors

I'm sure I read more, but that's all I can really remember. :/

My favorite was Winter's Tale. I read it around Christmas and it just that had that "feeling" of cold that I liked. The ending was really sweet too. The king in the story was CRAZY though. :disgust:

Shakespeare is awesome! My favorite play is Romeo and Juliet.
I am also a big fan of: Phantom of the Opera, High School Musical, Harry Potter, Disney in general, Days of Our Lives, musicals in general, Dr. Seuss in general and the Grinch.

I've read Hamlet (liked it) and Tempest (boring, couldn't even finish).

Tried to get into Shakespeare...just couldn't. Maybe will try again one year.
