I like watching the movies only, reading his plays is so laborous

Shakespeare is an old wine in an ever shining skin. I'm in love with vintage stories.

I love Shakespeare plays. While introduced to him in high school, I've read many of his other works as well, including his sonnets and I love them. My favourite is Othello.

I'm not a fan of his plays but his poetry is really good I fell in love with his poems while doing them during my studies.

Midsummer Night's Dream is awesome!

I have grown an appreciation for Shakespeare as the years have gone on. I was in a school's play for Midsummer Night's Dream, and it was a blast!

The level of creativity Shakespeare has is inspiring. I'm always amazed by how he plays around with words, what they create, that even the simplest words take a deep form and move me beautifully. That's why he is a classic. I know some people don't like to read him because they don't like the thou's and thy, but when you get past that, there's so much gem in his words.

Romeo and Juliet has always been a book that never passes time. Still recommended even as a class reader.

I don’t believe I’ve read Shakespeare since high school, so that’s been a long time. But to this day, I still love how it influenced my poetry writing. I’m not sure that there’s ever been anything else that I was able to pull my style into and mesh with the way I did with Shakespeare.
