Any 13-16 year old's on here? Opinion needed for project
 

Hello :tongue: I feel like barely anyone knows me on here anymore but anyways I posted this on Twitter but it's mainly old members who follow me on there.

For a uni project I'm doing we have to appeal Shakespeare to 13-16 year old's and I thought the best way of finding an idea was to ask actual 13-16 year old's:

One-Do you like Shakespeare?
Two-If not,what would make him(or his plays) interesting to you? Like being featured in Glee or a videogame or a BB task? Anything like that.

Any help would be much much appeaciated,thank you :D

yeah im sure its for a uni project :rolleyes:

:joker:

What on earth else would it be for? :laugh:

i like shakespeare

im 19 though :/

Close enough :p

Well I'm 17 but there are a few Shakespeare's plays I like, always takes them a while to grow on me. The language probably puts off most people more than anything.

Thank you :)

im 14 i only liked romeo and juliet of shakespeares though.

I like Shakespeare's Sister

did her ages ago

I find Shakespeare quite boring. He's been hyped up to be this mega fantastic writer back in his day, and it avoids everyone thinking about other writer's of the 1500 - 1600's. There's nothing that special about him and his literature doesn't interest me.

It's just my personal opinion.

But. I would be really interested to see what his work would be like if it was modified to suit modern day society...Like using Glee :)

I'm fourteen btw...if that helps.

I like a few of his plays like "A Midsummer's Night Dream", "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Tempest" and do think that he was a brilliant playwright, but I do still tend to have trouble with the old English he often uses in his plays. I'd be interested in watching a film or TV programme on his life because he did seem to lead an extravagant life, being featured on Glee would do him wonders in America too because I don't even know if they study Shakespeare over there?

Thanks for the replies you guys! It's a big help :)

Well I am 18 now but I loved Romeo and Juliet when I was like 13 and still love it now. I think what made me interested in it was how popular it was, maybe advertising it would make teenagers interested. :)

Ooooh good point. Thank you :)
