Who Likes to read Shakespeare?

[ilovechickens777]

Personally, I quite enjoy some Shakespeare plays. I remember being in English class enjoying every word in the text. My favourite play is a Midsummer Night's Dream because of its craziness.

I do, I do!

I was introduced to Shakespeare in 4th grade when we read Macbeth and then went on to read Romeo and Juliet.
I also took several Shakespeare classes when I was an undergraduate student and as a graduate student. My favorites are A Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing.

I love Shakespeare! Othello is my personal favorite. I've read most of his tragedies. I'm still working through his other plays.

I like to read Shakespeare as well. My first play was a Midsummer Night's Dream when I was in honors English in sixth grade. I then read Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The best part was that I had a lot of theater students in my classes, so they made the play come alive.

I love Shakespeare's work as well. I grew up with his work in my parents house. Granted at first it was adapted for kids but I grew into the original quickly.

I'm glad to see other people also like Shakespeare. My whole family doesn't and thinks I am crazy for liking it.

Shakespeare is an acquired taste. I think a lot depends upon your introduction to it. I had great teachers who made Shakespeare's plays and sonnets both interesting and enjoyable and I owe them my undying gratitude for their efforts. A good teacher can make all the difference.

Shakespeare a legend. My absolute favourite is Much Ado about Nothing. Sometimes, I think his plays are excessively romantic and superficial, but that makes it all the more interesting for a lot of people.

i enjoy reading Shakespeare books but my favorite is hamlet

[Zoey]

I certainly do! I bought a nearly perfect condition limited edition Shakespeare collection book. The cover is red leather bound. It is absolutely beautiful! I have read many of his plays and poems. I am not here to prove myself, but quiz me if you will I mention this because I am going to tell you that Romeo and Juliet is certainly my favorite out of his collections. Call me stereotypical, but I am a geek for romance. And that play is absolutely amazing! Did you know Shakespeare is thought to be gay? It leaves me wondering the reason behind the thought- is it simply because the original actor for Juliet was a man Fascinating stories about authors of previous lifetimes. Fascinating stories...

I used to read Shakespeare in school and I liked it.

[Jauthor97]

I've loved Shakespeare since I was eleven! I love the flow of the words, the real and terrible characters. I love the history and the romance. It is all so beautiful to me! Hamlet and Macbeth are my favorites! ( Also, have you seen the Hollow Crown series? Henry IV part 1 has Tom Hiddleston in it! (= Benedict Cumberbatch plays Richard the III in Hollow Crown: Richard III. If you love Shakespeare, those movies are breathtaking!

I enjoy Shakespeare. I like the emotional intricacies he puts in his plays, especially tragedies such as Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. I like the death and blood that usually ensues in these plays, and it's through them do the most iconic scenes in our culture come from, such as Ophelia's "girl in white", and the tragedy of forbidden love and such. It also helps delve into a lot of really cool discussions, such as whether or not Romeo was too vain, or if Hamlet should have let Ophelia go sooner.

I enjoy reading his works but I prefer doing "read alouds'" with groups of people, each taking a part or two. And I LOVE watching his plays on stage.
