    Hiya! I might sound harsh but crying for Shakespearian plays isn't really my thing. Emotions just don't over-come me when reading his stuff. If one wants to read a tear jerker, there is there is always Wuthering Heights or A Bridge to Terabithia or A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Even Harry Potter series can be called a real tear-jerket, well at least I found it so...

    Ah, why did Dumbledore has to die? '

    Hey Jay, what do you reckon about the seventh part by the way? Do you find the title of the book revealing much?

    All those theories I read on a website about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows made me feel that the book was in my hands already.

    1: Harry goes to Godric Hollows.
    2: Harry discovers "Hallows", some sort of creature over there.
    3: One of these creatures is a horcrux
    4: Harry destroys the horcrux and defeats the Dark Lord

    Can't it make up a good fanfiction?

    Spoilers are always fun, so are the speculations

    I can't agree more! But Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in the hands would be the most fun thing!

    I don't like his works because they are never precise and concise. He just wasted time in writing three sentences for showing the love of Romeo for Juliet which he could have done in a single sentence.

    In Romeo and Juliet, I just found his writing style focusing too much on dialogues concerning "beauty of the heroine" and "love" (or shall I call it lust) It got really irritating for me to keep on reading the whole thing when he was saying the same thing again and again; of course, the words were different and well choosen, especially the comparison of her with flowers, blah blah blah, but they all meant the same thing which was that to Romeo, Juliet was the prettiest girl that ever existed on earth.

    I think that many people like him because he touches the topic "love between a man and a woman" or shall I call it lust? It is something they do like to have a belief in and find it fascinating. Oh well, everyone has a right to have his own believes. But Shakespearian style and his works are just not my cup of tea.
    Ahh ok. Well fair enough Pensive The world would be a rather dull palce if everyone liked the same things as everyone else.
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

The content of his plays embody every weakness and imperfection of man, yet he verses them in such a perfect, mellifluous way that we seem to rejoice in and be entertained by our follies.
    erhem, that's an interesting observation. Never thought about it that way.
    I love Shakespeare and I love his language, but somehow the deeper meanings often escape me because my brain has to spend so much capacity on decoding the language
    So I suppose I'm somewhere in between Pensy and drama?

    As Kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame . . .


    Why disqualify the rush? I'm tabled. I'm tabled.

    Nowhere. Harry will prove it to the Wizarding World that Voldemort should be named, ought to be named and there is nothing wrong in naming a dead person.
