i like King Lear and Othello, i didnt like Macbeth or Hamlet very much.

Midsummer Nights Dream was the only one that didnt bore me to tears so I suppose its my fave by default...

Garywag · 4th December 2003, 12:31 PM

Garywag · 4th December 2003, 12:32 PM

actually iv never done that play or watched more than 10 mins of the weird film so i duno wot happens except it ends in tragedy

i go for MacBeth!!

Hamlet and king lear are both immense.
Did so much Renaissance Drama last year, it was pretty cool. Volpone by Ben Jonson is really good.
What are you gonna do after school with yer nice shiny advanced higher? Its kind of gutting when you get to uni and realise the way its taught is 30 or 40 years out of date.....Still a pretty good course though.
are you doing any James Joyce? That was my favourite part of AH, He's a madman.

aswell as the to play we are doing Chaucer its horribel weve been here so many minths and were on page 9 of the prolog! i wotn be doing anythign with my english AH anyways or maths for that matter im doing them for the hell of it, im wanting to do art when i leave school next year.

I'm not a big reader, but I adore Shakespear.

I'm reading Taming Of The Shrew right now, it's damn cool.

Played Lady Macbeth at theatre school, which was fantastic.

Also adore Romeo +Juliette, +Midsummernight's Dream. Wasn't that into Merchant of Venice to be honest. Really need to get round to readin more of the plays.

Bobsy · 4th December 2003, 03:41 PM

Isnt westside story based on romeo and juliet? just out of curiosity

Starla · 4th December 2003, 03:50 PM

Yup. This is true. Loosely though.

to be honest i really like the tales i've read, although i've only read a couple. a lot of people struggle with the anguage, but i like it sometimes. it can be a pain though.

Starla, check out the tragidies, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear. Personally i think they are a lot more interesting than the comedies

Alice, the teacher who taught me Joyce sucked, it was only good cause the texts are fucking unbelievable.

I know there's at least one other english lit undergrad posts on here, wonder why they haven't posted yet.

It's intellectual snobbery like this on a forum that makes me want to puke. It really does. I'd like to think I'm a fairly intelligent guy, but I don't condemn others because their spelling is not the best, or they make typos. Ever heard of dyslexia?

Fucking arrogant twat.

To be fair intellectual and musical snobbery is all that keeps this lot going....btw that's not punk and everyone's a retard
