"Yea, noise,then I'll be brief;
O, happy dagger!
This is thy sheath; there rest, and let me die."

I understood R & J.. I had a different teacher and she helped me :)

I actually enjoyed that :bouncy:

Only when it's explained, you actually get what's going on!

I think Shakespeare's brilliant. I love Hamlet, My absolute favourite. In School I did Macbeth every year inbetween year 6-9 I know that play so well. For GCSE we did Hamlet but I'm pretty knowledgable on Romeo and Juilliet since I like it a lot and the film with Claire danes and Leonardo DiCaprio is one of my favourites.

If you need any help just ask and i'll try to help the best I can. :thumbs:

Shakespeare On a Silver Spoon..
 
Hey...

I came across your post on Google. I know it says not to advertise products, but hey.. I think this could be helpful! Not sure if your parents or someone would buy it for you, but here goes:

THE ARKANGEL SHAKESPEARE is currently one of my Ebay auctions.

"Shakespeare for the 21st Century", it is all of the plays on audio CD, featuring top actors, amazing original music, and the unabridged canon. Guaranteed to entertain as well as educate anyone, at any level. Sheer brilliance!

A bit pricey, but very, very worth it.

On the off-chance you or someone you know is willing to make the investment, check it out!

Cheerio.

Jakeh 23-09-2008 03:35 PM

How can you not understand Shakespeare?!

We're doing Romeo and Juliet at the moment and I understand it all. It's fantastic stuff.

Nicky. 23-09-2008 03:42 PM

My teacher said to us today that we better start thinking about our essays..

ESSAYS!!???

Grr!

I will drop a few of you some messages.. be warned :tongue: xx

(Thanks !)

&& Ive done R & J and A Midsummer nights dream, soo much easier to understand!!

:shrug:

Killian 23-09-2008 09:59 PM

We've only done The Merchant of Venice -- it's left a poor impression on me. I would've loved to do Romeo and Juliet, though.

Why do we need to learn Shakespeare?? I mean, its not like Im going to use that language again xD.

We're doing Macbeth at the moment, and my teacher just expects everyone to understand because we're the 'top set'. It dosn't mean I know how to speak 'dsifoifds' language! :mad:

I actually think some of them understand it, which is CRAZY! We've just got up to the part we're someone died in a castle (I want to say Duncan?), and now we have to write a newspaper article on it.. that fills an A3 sheet of paper, so about 4 pages in our book.. now Im sorry, but ffs! I dont even know whats going on!! Its not even english! (Well, I know it is, but not modern times english!)

Grrr!! I have to finish all 4 pages for homework for Monday, and Ive done like half a page and TOTALLY stuck :sad:, and my teacher wasnt in today, so we had a supply teacher! I cant even ask her for help :( So I will write a little bit, and then go in and say its all jibberish to me xD

Hehe - Rant over!
Same as me. She thinks we behave all nice and polite cause we're topset. HAHA.

BigSister 23-09-2008 10:05 PM

Ive done a bit of Shakespeare I did Macbeth at y9 Romeo and juliet at years 10/11 and Twelth night at uni. Also did Othello at college

Hugo 23-09-2008 10:09 PM

I did 'Much Ado About Nothing'
It was ok.

Z 24-09-2008 05:07 PM

I've done A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth, Othello and Antony and Cleopatra - I love Shakespeare, it's all we do at school! You have to just get into the way of understanding it, it's like anything else, you have to practice before you really get it.

Nicky. 24-09-2008 05:14 PM

I was off school ill today, and good news.. they finished it!!

Whoopp!

The work starts now though :\

We're watching the movie tomorrow :bouncy: x

BigSister 24-09-2008 07:22 PM

which one Nicky ive seen 2 versions of it

Tom 24-09-2008 07:30 PM

LOL

We did Macbeth for our SAT's and have no idea what its about but still got a level 7, I know theres Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Banquo but thats about as far as my knowledge for that stretches ...

Then I did Romeo & Juliet for coursework but we told our teacher we didn't understand so she just wrote the answers on the board, which we had to memorise (because that coursework was done by an interview) so I genuinely have no idea what happened there either, just I know the ending.

And thats it tbh. Oh I remember doing a Midsummer Nights Dream in primary, I liked that though, we went to see a modern version which was more like a panto :colour:

Oh and the last one, I remember we did a couple of his poems for GCSE, no idea what they meant. But the poem about him I can remember, but only because it was dirty and sexual :joker:

Nicky. 24-09-2008 07:53 PM

Im not sure, BigSis x Ive seen one already, only half though, I have a weak stomach so I got out of watching the grusome bits xD xx

&& LOL Tom - looks like you got out of doing the hard work onit xD!!

Christina 24-09-2008 08:45 PM

So far weve done A midsummers nights dream, Much to do about nothing and Romeo and Juliet. I agree it is annoying but once you know what there saying SOMETIMES it isnt too bad x

Jen 24-09-2008 08:48 PM

I love shakespeare...


But I'm weird.

Fom 24-09-2008 08:48 PM

After I have finished my run of '1984' I am joining a Shakespeare company :)
And I will be working with them for the rest of the year.
