how many people like reading shakespear?

Answer 1

I like the ideas and i enjoy it, the poetic wording and everything, but it is a tiny bit hard to follow at times. I still enjoy it though.

Answer 2

I for one love Shakespeare and I enjoy reading all of his works. I also enjoy watching the plays live or movies. The more I study him the better I like him. The only problem is I get to talking in double meanings and innuendos. My fiance can always tell when I have been reading Shakespeare.

Answer 3

I am an absolute Shakespeare junkie. I prefer the four tragedies to the histories or comedies. Of the four Macbeth is my all-time favorite, simply because there are so many different ways to interpret the story and the characters' motives. I have seen 4 different versions of the play.

You know how people will drool over cetain things they want for themselves, clothes or cars etc? I printed out a story on the auction of an original First Folio and put it on my husband's desk with a note, "I want this!" Obviously it went for a bit more than we could afford...

Answer 4

I love Shakespeare. I have a huge book that contains all of his plays and sonnets. His words are beautiful and musical and many of his plays (while written in old English) are about issues that are still bothering people today. My most favorite of all his plays is not Romeo and Juliet as many have mentioned (although I do love it), it is actually A Midsummer Night's Dream which is really funny. I love the character Puck. He's a blast! Twelfth Night is also a wonderful play.

Answer 5

I prefer to watch performances of the Bard's work as, that is what they were meant for and, for me, how they work best. I do like to read certain parts, where there has been exceptionally witty dialogue.

Although I really get a lot out of Shakespeare, I am not a huge fan of his sonnets

Answer 6

I love Shakespear. It's kind of like reading poetry. I think its fun and broadens you mind and gives you a little culture.

Many a morning hath he there been seen, with tears augmenting the fresh morning dew. Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs. When all so soon as the all setting sun should in the farthest east begin to draw the shadowy curtains from Auroras bed..... (Romeo and Juliet)

Nobody talks like this anymore. Its beautiful. It just flows.

Answer 7

Nobody I know likes reading Shakespeare, to much trouble following the Thee and Thous. However, you are gonna get a bunch of 'Wanna Be's" that think it's the smart thing to say they do, even if they don't.

Answer 8

Millions! Festivals in Utah, Nevada, all over the USA, in summertime people go to outdoor theaters, bring picnic's and enjoy his works in the open air. Shakespear is more popular every year! Read him, listen to Cd's., participate in a play, wonderfull!!

Answer 9

It is okay. I like Romeo and Juliet. Right now, I have to read The Tempest, and I cannot understand anything. I always have to ask my teacher what is going on. And whats with the scenes and acts? it would be a little better if it had CHAPTERS!!!! That foreign language they are speaking never fails to confuse me!

Answer 10

I do he was the equivalent to the singer songwriter/playwright of his day. I have two compleat volumes of all his works and he is the basis for most of the plots in tv and movies and for music ever since.
