On Thursday in class we began learning about William Shakespeare. Before Thursday i had never read any poetry by Shakespeare but a had heard about his plays such as Macbeth. I think the reason why i hadn't read any of Shakespeare's work is that it is hard to understand. I also have never watched any of Shakespeare's plays as they usually run for a very long time and there are not alot of productions in the country of his work.

I have never read any of Shakespeare's play mainly through choice as it would be quite challenging and boring, also the school that i used to attend did not make us read any of his plays or work in English.

I have only ever watched one modern movie of Shakespeare's work which was 10 things that i hate about you i think that this was quite a good movie but did not relate very well to Shakespeare's work.

Since we began looking at Shakespeare last Thursday i have learn much about Shakespeare's work and life. I did not know that he had written so many plays and scripts for theater companies and for himself. I was also quite surprised to find out that he did not attend schooling for as long as he could have as his grammar and spelling was very good.

I don't believe that i would take part in the play that Mr s is putting on later in the year purely as i am not a drama sort of person and i have never taken interest in the play beforehand which would make acting much easier.

Mentioning the play Macbeth in a theater is bad luck as it is believed that if said a bad performance will be put on by the actors and people will be disappointed. To counter this you have to go outside spin around 3 times while saying blasphemy.

Cheers for now.
