Shakespearian Plays

His talent for generating colourful phrases is what really made his plays famous. The actual quality of many of them is quite poor, but his terminology was quite impressive.

I was really into Shakespearre when I was young, though it was a long time before I realized some of his comedies were in fact comedy because of the way they were presented. I think the first time was a PBS version of Midsummer Night's Dream. Before that there were nothing but dreary black and white movies. I don't recall ever seeing any performed live.

thanks so much for best response, I really do appreciate it.

To be honest I think the only plays from him I have read is Romeo and Juliet and some of hamlet. It may have been all of Hamlet but I don't rightly remember. I think that his plays has left a mark on the theater world but as I'm not into theater of any kind I can't say how big of a mark I felt he's left. I do think though that his Romeo and Juliet play is both romantic and tragic and really is a love story for history. It's so great and has been talked about, done and done again so many times.

i have never seen a play in my life. sorry.

The Merchant of Venice and Midsummer Nights Dream is the best for me. I find Romeo and Juliet not that special but it is also one of the good ones

Personally for me, my most Favorite one will always be Romeo and Juliette. I also enjoy Hamlet and some of his other works as well. When it comes to someone of this style with his Plays, his books, etc. I think you cannot go wrong for sure.

there is no question about it. He is the greatest playwright in the world of all time. I guess Romeo and Juliette is my favorite, it is the story of forbidden love, first love, true love and its dangerous consequences. It also the greatest love story of all time.

I like the "Midsummer Nights Dream" I don't like "Romeo and Juliet" as it was a wtragic love story

He touched our hearts with many. I have a great respect for all his work but at the same time..I think he was a troubled man. It gave him his edge though. I like them all.

Titus Andronicus is by far my favorite. It is full of very dynamic and three dimensional characters. I also truly admire that Titus is able to put an end to everyone who betrayed him at the end of the play, and seek justice for his family. I cannot say that I have a least favorite play but perhaps have years of teaching there are those that simply become so second nature that one needs a change. I think what I admire about Shakespeare is that though he wrote politically for his time period his plays speak for any time period and generation. He was able to write in such a fashion that any era could perform his plays and speak to the same matters of country and heart. I'm not sure I can truly find another play write who has been able to do this. Namaste-Anora

I like 2 plays very much. They are Othello and Hamlet.

Hi even I am an chinese ,I have seen several plays of him .And I think he is really a great master . I can still remember some lines like 'to be or not to be that's a problem','Romeo Rome deny your father and refuse your name' I have aslo saw some firlms like 'Romeo and Juliet''Harmlet''A Midsummer Night's Dream'.I think he let us know what's in people' deep heart and the complex affection.I like them all and 'Harmlet'the most.I can'nt understand them all even now , I think it need to be thinked for lifelong.

HAMLET is a favourite, as it's his most philosophical play....which answers the question:"What would happen if a Philosopher-King (as advocated by Plato )was actually on the English throne in the early 17th century?" Answer: He would be so taken up with thinking about how to act, that he would totally lose that capability. I also love OTHELLO ...the plot has the most marvellous construction...and most of his tragedies are similarly moving. Least favourite? Some of those early 1590's comedies are rather boring, but never poor: THE 2 Gentlemen of Verona etc...all the plots are similar and 'Englished up' directly from the Italian originals.AS YOU LIKE IT is the best of the comedies...and I love his sonnets.

That's true... William Shakespeare was a revered playwright. In fact, in England, we have to study his works in English at school. I've also been to Stratford-on-Avon, to see his cottage and the place he lived. I suppose my real favourite is The Merry Wives of Windsor, because it included Herne the Hunter, and relates to his Windsor legend, but he never wrote a bad play, so it's difficult to choose just one. Brightest Blessings.

My all time favorite is Hamlet. Believe or not I have five different versions on tape and/or DvD!I love a good revenge story. My least favorite is Macbeth. It Really irks me.I hate the plot. If a witch tells you your future , then why not ask her How everythig is to come out!

Julius Caesar was my favorite one of the entire thing. We actually got to act out parts of it for a literature class in high school, so it was rather cool all things considered. I am a fan of history so it was the greatest. I'm not much of a Shakespeare person, therefore I haven't read too much but it is not the worst literature in the world. It just seems a bit dated, but really not too bad.
