Who loves Shakespeares work and why?

Question

Personally my favourite shakespearian tale was rromeo and juliet..

Answer 1

I always stood in awe of shakespeare though I have not all read his sonnets:).. I asked myself why and came up with the answer that I love shakespeare because of the mystery of each work he has written. Reading his work does not only hone your power to figure out words of old english but most importantly offer a different tone each time you reread it depending on what character's point of view you take. hes just so..........crazy, weird, mystical, genius but most of all a person who deeply understands the different natures of man. :)

Answer 2

Mmm, Taming of the Shrew is my fav.
As to why. My Gramma was an english teacher, so I grew up being read classics of all sorts. Ovid, Homer, Shakespeare, Yeats, Dante, Li Po, Boccaccio, Chaucer, etc

Answer 3

I do.

William Shakespeare was an institution by himself; the God of classic theatre. No living soul has ever been able to outshine the radiance of Shakespeare and his writing skills.

Look at this for instance:

Answer 4

He was a genius. Pure and simple.

Romeo & Juliet is one of my favorites too (the nurse cracks me up). I also love Taming of the Shrew, Macbeth, Richard II and Hamlet.

And all of the Sonnets, of course.

The way he put words together...he made it look easy. That, IMO, is the sign of a great writer.

Answer 5

I love both the sonnets and plays. I believe the main reason is the timelessness of the words coupled with the unbelievable way that he puts words together. Simple, straightforward, magical, and poetic would be some words I would use to describe his writing. I think my favorite of his plays would have to be Twelfth Night.

Answer 6

I like Shakes quite a bit. But as for Renaissance plays, my favorite is Beaumont's "Knight of the Burning Pestle." In the middle of the play (which has a play within a play, within a play) one of the characters makes a beer run and asks the audience if they would like some refreshments. It's excellent. Not well received, unfortunately, as it was making fun of play goers and their naivete in the theater, but very, very funny.

Answer 7

I love Shakespeare because he was a great writer. He had wit and humor. He could write comedies, tradgedies, and more. His works persisted because they were great, like Homer's Illiad. I personally love Othello. Iago is my favorite character from there.

Answer 8
