The only thing that really entertained me about Shakespeare was picturing men playing the parts of women - while performing theatre in the round.

I have to agree with Julie. It wasn’t an English class but a Drama class in college where the teacher explained what Shakespeare was really talking about. His plays took on a completely different light to me then.

I loved SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE! But it was a *movie*, not a book I had to struggle to read, LOL!

You might not believe me…but trust me, Lori and all you other bard bashers…had I been your teacher, you would have loved the guy. No one told a dirty joke like old Willy. After a week, my students would be laughing and snickering in all the right places. Of course, I tended to teach all the comedies and none of the tragedies…except for Romeo and Juliet, which had plenty of risque humor.

Shakespeare rocks…if you have the right person to teach you the rhythms of the language. Once you got the hang of it, the guy was hilarious. I mean, there IS a reason why we’re still remaking his stories.

Have you seen SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE? Oh, my! FABULOUS flick.

Great story, Janelle. It will keep me inspired to keep “plotting” along.

I hated Shakespeare. All that Old English - YUK! The only thing worse is Beowolf.

My only hope is that the ‘government-ese” type writing I do in my day job doesn’t encroach on my fiction style. That would be a sin and a shame.

Keep up the good work. I’m a big fan.

Happy Birthday Ev!!! As for english classes, glad to know if I ever get the nerve up to finally put my ideas to paper(or in the computer), it’s good to know that my lack of always following the rules won’t always hurt you. Thanks for all the great stories and the continued inspiration to all of your readers(and aspiring writers).
