Yeah, Midsummer Night's Dream. I was in that play twice, and I played Flute one time(who plays Thisby, I believe. That was rather funny), and then I was also the one who played Pyramus. This play rules so much.

I also like Macbeth. I don't know why.

I hated Shakespeare at school but I've lately read A Midsummers Nights Dream and found it to be really funny. The guy (or whoever wrote it!) was so ahead of his time.

I like how you said "or whoever wrote it". I, for one, do not believe he wrote every one of his plays, if any of them at all. Not by himself, at least.

Yeah theres loads of evidence to suggest that it wasn't him. Apparantly it was his housekeeper or Francis Bacon or someone.

I've also heard that it was the whole company he was with, "The King's Players". Or he may have stolen them from another playwrite who didn't become famous until after Shakespeare died, but the way he writes is remakably similar to Shakespeare. But the name fails me at the moment.

I have a hard time with Shakespeare, but I loved "The Taming of the Shrew!"

I love Shakespeare!!!!! I can't narrow it down to one so I will give you my top three: Romeo and Juliet love Julius Ceasar wink and The Taming of the Shrew evil face hehehe

I also LOVE The Sonnets. My favorite:
O MISTRESS mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear! your true-love's coming
That can sing both high and low;
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
Journeys end in lovers meeting
Every wise man's son doth know.

What is love? 'tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.

I like Macbeth, mainly because of the elements of supernatural and madness in it. I also like Midsummer Nights Dream, again because of the supernatural and fantasy, and also the comedy! However, we studied Romeo and Juliette at school recently, and I hated (although this could be due to the fact that I hate romance in general). I know what you mean by saying theirs evidence Shakespear didnt write his own plays, he stole them from someone else, and I think the name of the guy he was meant to have stolen them form was Christopher Marlowe, but I'm not 100% sure.

Christopher Marlowe had different styles of rhyming and characterisation to Shakespeare. The most suspected thing is that Shakespeare stole them off Bacon.
