MERCHANT OF VENICE IS A GOOD PLAY

**Jambjanatan** · 12-21-2006, 06:56 AM

I'm not a shakespear fan but for school in year 8 and 9 we are given one shakespear play to perform and no teachers help its all up to us and we are the directors and cast and crew and everything from sound and lighting to even the role of a donkey

in year 8 we got the merchant of venice...it wasn't v successfull

i think ours was the worst play that year!

this year we got the MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM!

IMO its the bestttt play by him!

luvdd it to bits, and since my whole class liked the story we managed to get into it and we won 1st prize this year for overall best play

was really fun....such a comedy play...speshly where bottom says...i hear a face, i see a voice

**Pippoles** · 12-21-2006, 08:56 AM

don't read MACBETH it's SOOOOOOO BORINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG

**picinaRefadia** · 12-21-2006, 02:56 PM

**putza** · 12-21-2006, 03:38 PM

...I liked Hamlet...so good...
and Twelfth Night is also good and funny!

More to come....

**vSzsgifP** · 12-21-2006, 10:02 PM

I feel that " As You Like It " is also a fantastic play . Its kind of comedy and funny too . My favourite character was Rosalind - The daughter of the banished duke.

**sXVUOUVC** · 12-23-2006, 07:07 AM

twelfth night is funny...theres a proffessor who looks like tony belch in twelfth night...well how tony belch was described in the play

ba midsummer nights dream roxxxx ma soxxx!

**NikkitaZ** · 12-23-2006, 10:53 AM

As u like it is cool

i haven't read "twelth night"

**stunnyravytal** · 03-06-2007, 02:05 PM

I really think it is worth the while to read Shakespeare...they are so rich on many levels...

Wibha I'm quite surprised that you found Macbeth boring I ask you to use maybe a reader or sparksnotes so that you can better understand it's philosophical intricacies...all i ask is that you give it a chance...

anyways I have only watched "Hamlet" at the Stratford Theatre here....it was quite badly done by some popular canadian tv star...I would love to see either "King Lear" or "Othello" or "Antony and Cleopatra" both my favourites....as a masque "Midsomer's Night Dream" would be absolutely gorgeous...

though i have my lesser favourites as well such as "Taming of the Shrew" and the more gruesome "Titus Andronicus" it just filled with violence and gore...of his comedies I really found one of his earliest plays "comedy of errors" and "As you like it" quite annoying and tedious

**sleepergun** · 03-06-2007, 03:35 PM

"Antony and Cleopatra", a brilliant movie starring Richard Burton & Elizabeth Taylor - try the old movie!

**ljq0AYOV** · 03-06-2007, 06:09 PM

Thank you Madame PP,
I have watched "Taming of the Shrew" with Burton and Taylor...I have yet to watch Cleopatra....Liz Taylor surely has a bewitching look as Cleopatra...her eyes...my God they are just so....violet! I would love eyes like that!!!

Que Macbeth was intresting in the beginning.

Later it started boring.
1. it made no sense basically. This macbeth is one stupid guy

He is a person who can be manipulated by anyone.he doesn't think for himself. I found it really boring

**smifatv** · 03-08-2007, 05:34 PM

well Wibha i agree and disagree...I mean i guess this makes more sense if you can see that he had the opportunity to see into the future which allowed him to also shape his future...who else ever gets that chance....but then again you have to think does the fortune shape his destiny...is it fate and he is powerless...or does he lead to his own demise? Is it by making the fortune true that lead to his villany or was it also his wife who kept egging him on...and what of her madness? All these are questions that crowd my mind when i think of Macbeth...hope this reply wasn't too boring for you and leaves you feeling

**Ruiptuptubre** · 03-08-2007, 05:51 PM

A vibrant portrayal of Mrs.Macbeth's guilt,"not all the perfumes of Arabia can sweeten this little hand"- that bloodstain sticking to the conscience is poignant. Macbeth's blind belief, overconfidence that he is invincible until the woods of B come walking.. Shakespeare emerges as an intellectual, as a perfect pshyco-analyst, and 'wow' for sheer poetry & imagery!
