I love:
A Midsummer's Night Dream
If we offend, it is with our good will.
That you should think, we come not to offend,
But with good will. To show our simple skill,
That is the true beginning of our end.
Consider then we come but in despite.
We do not come as minding to contest you,
Our true intent is. All for your delight
We are not here. That you should here repent you,
The actors are at hand and by their show
You shall know all that you are like to know.
King Lear
Hear me, recreant!
On thine allegiance, hear me!
Since thou hast sought to make us break our vow,
Which we durst never yet, and with strain'd pride
To come between our sentence and our power,
Which nor our nature nor our place can bear,
Our potency made good, take thy reward.
Five days we do allot thee, for provision
To shield thee from diseases of the world;
And on the sixth to turn thy hated back
Upon our kingdom: if, on the tenth day following,
Thy banish'd trunk be found in our dominions,
The moment is thy death. Away! by Jupiter,
This shall not be revoked. |

^ Oh, plays within plays . . .
We're reading "that scottish play" (Macbeth) in school now. It's pretty good, but I still love Taming of the Shrew the best.

Macbeth was awesome.
Sir Ian Mckellen as Macbeth was great.
Judi Dench as Lady Macbeth was not.

| I loved studying Shakespeare in English, I was probably one of the only ones in my class who did. I had to study both Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet, both plays I loved, both reading & discussing them! |

Taming of the shrew was by far my favorite Shakespeare play. I went and saw it during the Shakespearian festival in Ashland Oregon and it was awesome... i also saw romeo and juliet... i hate to admit it... but i went to sleep in the middle of it. i never did like romeo and juliet but everyone was going so i went. if you guys really enjoy Shakespeare plays you need to at least once in your life go to a play during the festival!

| At first Shakespeare can be really confusing, but once you get the characters and plot you understand that Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers ever. |

This is my favorite Shakesperean work:
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun (Sonnet 130)
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare. |
I had to memorize and read this in high school for my brit lit class! it was horrid! I kept messing up because I was so nervous!

ooo I love that sonnet. I have to memorize a sonnet for my shake midterm...I have the first 6 lines memorized nearly perfectly. might be a few minor flubs
Farewell, thou art too dear for my possessing
and like enough thou know'st thy estimate
the charter of thy worth is thee releasing
my bonds in thee are all determinate
for how do I hold thee but by thy granting
and for that treasure where is my deserving.
sonnet #87

We are too! Weirdd...
Anyway I've already read Julius Caesar so its a little boring.
I absolutely LOVE Shakespeare.
I've done workshops on Shakespearean acting the most recent being an 8 week intensive over the summer. Then I was in Richard III (I love that play!).
I think my favorite out of Shakespeare's plays is The Comedy of Errors.

Haha..I have a thing for British history, so out of the histories I prefer Henry V and Richard III. 
In English our teacher asked us to write down everything we knew about Shakespeare..and I was like.. "Everything I know? Do you WANT a book?"
