Okay, so I was just wondering, how many fellow createbloggers out there like Shakespeare..._smile.gif
What's your favorite Shakespearan play?

(Right now I'm reading A Midsummer Night's Dream, it's really good, I have to make a mask for school, I almost cut myself cutting the gold metal... ermm.gif )

My favorite is this play, but then again, I haven't read many others...what's your favorite?

I really liked Macbeth and Hamlet, but not A Midsummer Night's Dream. I want to read Othello though.

I'm studying Twelfth Night for school... and I pretty much enjoy it.
KissMe2408
I had to read a bunch for school,
but I LOVED "Romeo & Juliet".
I had to memorize passages, and I picked the longest one for fun.
lol yah i'm a dork.

I think my least favorite was "The Tempest"

Hmm...I don't like Shakespeare too much, but we're reading Macbeth in class and it's OK. I'd much rather see it acted out than read it in a stuffy classroom.

Twelfth Night!i like it and i am studying.
My Cinderella.
A Midsummer Night's Dream. I love that play, I had to play the understudy for Hermia and I feel in love with the role and the whole story line. wub.gif
Blow_Don't_SUCK
I liked Othello.
loopylandscapes47
I really liked A Comedy of Errors.. it was really entertaining
Crich323
All I've read is romeo and juliet so I guess that would be my vote.
I just got A Midsummer Night's Dream because I've heard that was also very good.
bananapants
ive read all his plays and i have to agree that
A Midsummer Night's Dream
is the best one
we did that play at school
even better when it is played out
Romeo and Julliet starts to loose its touch after a while
he has so many other romances so why only this one
ecargnmyst
oo midsummers night! im currently in that play..its my school's spring comedy...and also im taking shakespearian literature as one of my english classes and we're putting on a play - 12th night . so i currently have to memorize lines for 2 shakespearian plays! lol half the time i dont even know what im sayin

Okay, the book was boring...but the movie was so gory. Especially when Macbeth's head was chopped off at the end...ahhh the images. I hate blood.

Romeo and Juliet is a classic.

1. CAESAR CAESAR CAESAR!
2. Romeo and Juliet cry.gif

I like Hamlet..

Hmm. Am I the only one who completely hates Macbeth? I mean, it was very well written (hands down), but something about it made me hate it. Maybe it was the way they taught it to us.. I don't know.

-Romeo and Juliet
-Midsummers Night Dream
-Hamlet
-Othello

As far as comedies go, A Midsummer Night's Dream wins, hands down. With dramas, I throb.gif Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar, but MacBeth owns. Sorry - I'm going to have to disagree with you, Angelina Taylor. sad.gif I loved it when I got to play Lady MacBeth. She's so evil. I love it.
Zatanna
Hrm, I thought I replied here.

I love Shakespeare. I even gave my son the name "Shakespeare" for his middle name. Yep, he'll kill me one day.

My favorite is 12th Night for comedy; Othello for drama.

much ado about nothing and midsummer night's dream are my favorite, but i love them all.. ie romeo and juliet, hamlet, macbeth...
Serendipity
i had to read 'much ado about nothing' in school, and then on vacation i watched 'two gentlemen of verona [as a play].' both were pretty funny (=
I Shot JFK
TITUS ANDRONICUS!!!

HELL YEA!

also like The Merchant of Venice (Shylock<3)

Hamlet is mind numbingly tedious, and im not macbeth fan... i had to study it, and that kind of killed it.

Twelfth Night! It makes me laugh.

I haven't had much luck with Shakespeare. I read Romeo and Juliet and I didn't particularly enjoy it because it was just so...mushy. Macbeth was better, but I'm still not getting why Shakespeare was so great. I guess it's all the iambic pentameter. I've been meaning to get all of Shakespeare's work - there must be something I like, right? Haha, I just have issues in giving up on classic authors.
LiLEthiopian
peace, ho.

julius caesar.
Smoogrish
I liked Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night, and As You Like It. Well, not so much As You Like It, but it was pretty good.
iROCKYOURSOCKS

OhMyAnniee
Twelfth Night ; Romeo & Juliet
mona lisa
I haven't read any Shakespearean plays outside of school reading but my favorite so far would have to be King Lear. I faintly remember analyzing Julius Caesar but I remember not understanding a thing. XD.gif
xtrancie
i like hamlet and julius caesar.
SandRAWRz
i only read Romeo and Juilet and The Taming of The sherwd...Th etamine of the Shrewd was good..they made a modern movie, Ten Things I Hate About You
MyEverLastingHopelessRomance
Twelfth Night

I love the plot-line.

I find it funny how some people try to watch or read Shakespear and focus so hard on trying to understand it, that they miss all of the funny parts of the play.

I'll be watching Twelfth Night with a friend and I end up laughing while they look at me like I'm crazy.

^_^;;
RememberTheForgotten
I havent read much Shakespear, becuase I usually wait until we do it in school. I really liked Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Nights Dream is my second favorite. I think had I have been in a different class this year, while reading Macbeth, I probably would have liked it...but my class just ruined it for me. They had no interest or respect...and its hard enough to get into it when the teacher is playing the tapes.

But yeah, Romeo and Juliet is my favorite I think.
