What are the literature books u studied in sch?
-
Shakespeare created plays, not story booksOriginally posted by MooKu:What do you all mean by Shakespeare as text?
I remember back then, students would be armed with all sorts of guides, even those books where both the Shakespearean version and plain English version would be printed on facing sides of a book.
means the stuff was written in dialogue form, like
Romeo: Juliet Juliet, why are you eating frogs?
Juliet: Coz i love zee frenchman
*Juliet exits from the scene waving a policeman baton* -
I never liked that stupid Lightning gods and whatever crap.Originally posted by The man who was death:sing to the dawn
a book which compiled shortened and adapted some of shakspeare's works
the lightning god and other stories by catherine lim
I prefered the blood and gore of Macbeth. My school organized for us to go watch a play by a bunch of Ang Moh on Macbeth.
I like Animal Farm and there was also a cartoon on this. -
X2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Originally posted by tare:we nvr act out... but we watched the bloody play [on vcr] umpteem times *grumbles* end up most of us just sleep in the dark dark av room

Thanks for the info. I am thinking of reading up on his poems but guess I will have to read about his life first.Originally posted by MooKu:Lots of hidden murderous intent.
You won't catch anything at all unless you know the history of his life and the history of Ireland.
And if you don't know the history, it can become very easy for you to grossly misinterpret the poems into something that's entirely different!
It was TOUGH.
But impactful...

Do check out Medea and Other Plays by Euripides and The School for Scandal by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. They are two very interesting classics.

uhh.. King Lear?
how about Ran by Kurosawa?Originally posted by DeadPoet:I am looking for a movie; it is about an old man playing the character of King Lear. I saw it on TV many years ago. Do you happen to know the title of the movie? -
Not Ran by Kurosawa, I have the DVD.Originally posted by the Bear:uhh.. King Lear?
how about Ran by Kurosawa?
The movie I am looking for is about the story of a British actor who has play the role of King Lear numerous times throughout his acting career. But because he has played the role for too long he couldnÂ’t tell the differences between role-play and reality.
He thinks he is King Lear and that my friend, is a tragic. -
