Each time I read Shakespeare, I am pulled into a different world, and I always come back bringing something different with me. Sometimes a new thought, realization or discovery, or just the feeling of awe. Shakespeare has always inspired me. :)

da way he describe trajedies !nothin was differnt same feeling same emotions ...
everything is changed stage plays into 3DS movies bt feelings remain same !
I agree it's interesting to see how timeless emotions are. I love reading Shakespeare because it makes me think and re read and analyze because I know he writes things purposely. Also I love the way he uses things we can't control and the way people react to those elements. I started reading his plays in 7 grade and have gotten friends to start to read because more young people should experience his work
experiencing old English is a great benefit
Hi everyone! I'm new to the group. My name is Mary. I love Shakespeare! I'm a theater major and am currently taking a Shakespeare class! I like to look at his works through an actors standpoint and focus primarily on character analysis.
Most of the Shakespeare I have enjoyed has been read outside school, and it's a totally different experience to studying it in class. I hate it when people dismiss it as boring just because it isn't what they'd usually read. If they actually read it like I do, then they'd get something amazing out of it.

Is now the time to talk about "negative capability"? It's Keats' phrase - he defined it, partly, as "being in uncertainties" - and, when applied to Shakespeare, basically means his ability to get inside everybody's head. Think of Hamlet and Macbeth and Falstaff and Beatrice and King Lear - all so different and all perfectly realised.

The beautiful poetic language and the sass. The very real situations and personalities. I see life and compare it to the works of the Bard.
As an ardent reader of Shakespeare, I get massive pleasure from his works and his plays. Every year I look forward to festivals in America where I belong to a group of people who are close to this idea. I saw https://www.festivalsherpa.com/best-s... that this year there will be festivals all over America but the states have changed a bit. It's good that I can change my plans.
