One Shakespeare play that I hear is very popular is Macbeth. I’m not necessarily sure what it’s about exactly which is pretty sad since everyone knows about it but I hear very good things about the play and I’ll probably end up doing research on it.
Awesome! That’s what we are going to see!
The Shakespeare that heard of the most is called Hamlet. It’s about prince that want revenge because his uncle kill princes father, and marry mother. I did a little research while doing this
Great!!! Hamlet was a complicated fellow and this is a great choice! A lot of teens relate to Hamlet and his brooding nature! Glad you research Saul!
Well my favorite play has to be romeo and Juliet also because I do not know another play that shackspear or him……did
Lol! You will see him more in your high school and college career! You will love him 🙂
romeo and juliet was a comen one and what i liked about it was that it was about it was that it was about two different worlds and there was one from each that loved each other
Yes absolutely great story 🙂
romeo and juliet was a common on it was about two different worlds against each other but one person from both world fell in love with eachother
Yes!!! Such a great story!!!
One play by Shakespeare I remember is Romeo And Juliet. It was about two lovers whose fathers wanted to keep them separated forever but Romeo And Juliet’s answer was to only die together and live that way.
My first and favorite love story!
I think Romeo and Juliet because it was 2 people from different worlds that fell in love with each other and forgetting there differences.
This is the one everyone knows!
“The Comedy of Errors” was one of Shakespeare’s first plays which I believe was about a merchant who lands in a country where people of his kind are banned. I think he gets sentenced to death by the duke of the country.
I think you might be thinking of The Merchant of Venice, but still great play 🙂
Romeo and Juliet is one of my favorite. Its about love and ends in a tragic.
Love it 😉
A William Shakespeare I like and remember reading is the play called “King Lear” it’s mostly about King Lear deciding to what daughter he’ll give the the biggest part of throne too since he doesn’t have a son. & in order to decide that he plays a game with them to see who loves him the most, and Two daughters play with him but the nice daughter decided not to play because she said the words aren’t enough to show how much she really loves him,and the king got mad. I like this play because it shows how a persons appearance can fool a person.
I forgot about King Lear!!! Love this one as well, coming from a family of 3 daughters as well, this story got me!!! Excellent choice Jose 🙂
I think Romeo and Juliet because it was 2 people from different worlds that fell in love with each other and forgetting there differences.
it is a beautiful story and so intricately written! Dude could write!
