    As a reference to number 72, there's a song by a group called the Reflections titled " Just like Romeo and Juliet " which came out in 1964. Oddly enough, Romeo and Juliet is my favorite Shakespearean play followed by Hamlet.

    My favourite Shakespeare play is "Much Ado About Nothing", one of his most famous comedies. I like it for its funny lines and things done. Overall, the man did a good job on this one.

  • @rami_ungar_writer

    First, my favorite Shakespeare play is Titus Andronicus (which I saw at The Globe Theater in 2014). That is a horror movie before horror movies were a thing!
    Second, didn't they discover a lost Shakespeare play and a possible contemporary portrait of him within the last five years or so? I remember reading articles about that.
    And third, 101 Facts about:
    1. Stephen King
    2. Sailor Moon
    3. Ballet
    4. King Arthur

      Rami Ungar, I totally agree with you! Titus Andronicus is one of my favourites too, and I think it's really underrated. Learning a bit more about Mr Stephen King would be interesting. I love his books. 💙

    • @CashelOConnolly
      @CashelOConnolly 5 лет назад

      Titus is the worst play,it was an early work which is laughed at by academics and Shakespeare lovers alike. Lear,Macbeth and the Tempest are some of the best

  • @rosalindmatteson3697
    @rosalindmatteson3697 6 лет назад +5

    I hate - Romeo and Juliet. They were stupid, lame brats, decided suicide was a good idea when they ran into trouble. I despise - Hamlet. He was a whiny, "No body loves or understands me" jerk. And while - Macbeth - has some good parts, he annoys me too by letting his wife do all his thinking. I like - Julius Caesar, - especially Mark Antony's speech after telling the killers he is cool with their killing Caesar, and he is alone with the body. That is some bad-ass speech! I love - As You Like It, - not just because the main heroine is named Rosalind. I like that when she is faced with a bad marriage, like Juliet, she choose to be proactive and dresses like a man and hides out in the forest. It is a cool play!

    Sam
    Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
    Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
    Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
    And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
    Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
    And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
    And every fair from fair sometime declines,
    By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
    But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
    Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
    Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
    When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
    Perhaps not😂
