So, anyone else interested in Shakespeare? I recently started rereading King Lear and I've been wondering if you children have read any of his plays. I have an anthology of all his works so feel free to chatter about any of them. I've read them all. Can't say that I /liked/ them all, but I've certainly read them. ^-^
If you've read any of his works what are your favorites? Why do you like them? What are your favorite quotes? Do you prefer the historical plays or the non-historical ones? Do you enjoy the tragedies or comedies more? Who here thinks that Romeo and Juliet are the poster children for why you don't let hormones do your thinking for you? How many of you can tell me which/how many plays have crossdressing women and other women falling in love with the crossdressing ones?
...Who else can quote Puck's epilogue word for word offhand?
If we the shadows have offended
Think but this, and all is mended
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme
No more yielding but a dream
Gentles, do not reprehend
If you pardon, we will mend
And as I am an honest Puck
If we have unearned luck
Now to escape the serpent's tongue
We will make amends ere long,
Else the Puck a liar call,
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands if we be friends
And Robin shall restore amends.
...I think I messed up some of the punctuation, because I remember more commas, but I'm too lazy to get the book right now.
what does that mean in, like, modern english? Amaya, you probably know!
but one day I think I'll enjoy it.... If I actually know what shakespeare is saying half the time XD
