OK i'm gonna go all intellectual on y'all, which is your favourite Shakespeare play?

Well i'm studying King Lear at the moment, that's pretty good, but Romeo & Juliet is good also, mainly because of the film LoL

I have never read Othello, that looks cool aswell...

I read Macbeth in year 9 for school..we had this awesome teacher..i can bet that when you all talked the teacher shouted..not my english teacher..he used pull the bottom of the stapler down and fire it at people..it was pretty powerful too. Anyways i've started to read Julius Caesar..i started to read it a while ago but the old english confuses me..but so beautiful...ahh Shakespeare...

I liked King Lear, Midsummer's Night Dream, and Othello. I think Macbeth was his best though.

Naw... Othello takes this because the way Iago manipulates Othello and makes him believe his lies is awesome. Iago is one of Shake's greatest characters.

King Lear is also very good... MacBeth is also good, but neither are touching Othello.

Othello teaches you to know who your real friends are

Richard III is my all time favourite character, the way he's deliberately ironic, but so subtle that barely anyone can tell. It's brilliant.

In Macbeth I just like the way that everything pans out exactly like the three witches say it will, it's cool because that stuff only happens because he tries to stop it, and because he visits the witches it puts the ideas in his head. The witches are the real villains.

Exactly as I said...

Yea, but he only really deceived Gloucester and maybe you can argue Edgar. Iago on the other hand was deceiving people right, left and center.

Macbeth, easily.

Out of everything he's written though, Mercutio's monologue in Romeo and Juliet (Act 1, Scene 4) about dreams is my favorite quotable.

wow... real old thread... But Othello by FAR. Iago's a great character, and just all the twists and turns and the deception... it's all real interesting.

I'm not sure but I think I've only ever covered two Shakespeare plays, Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth. Macbeth is my obvious favourite of the two, I thought I'd hate it but I proper got into it, made all the swots in English look like common scum with my work on Macbeth.

I wanna read up on King Lear, supposed to be good

Macbeth is a quality story. I did Richard III in AS English and got a C, I was well chuffed.

When I was 15 at school we did Romea and Juliet, took a trip to London to the globe theatre and went to see it performed. Unbeknown to the teachers it was one of those "unorthodox" performances and the cast was "all-male-homosexuals". What's more the cast only consisted of four people playing every character. They followed the lines of the play but when they started getting naked the whole school started throwing shit at them. It was disturbing. And there was this bit when the actors started spitting... I didn't get it... I mean spitting all over the place, the front row got soaked! It was the wierdest thing I'd ever seen.
