Thoughts on Shakespeare

Though I do not completely understand what Shakespeare is writing and how he gets his message across with his use of language, I like to believe that I am a fan of his. I like his use of tragedy in his plays. I think that's because I am intrigued with creepy, violent, dark things. I'm excited that we started reading Hamlet in class, but I'm not sure if I will like it as much as Macbeth or Julius Caesar. I was not a huge fan of Romeo and Juliet, but that may be because it had dealt with too much "romance," even though both Romeo and Juliet killed themselves. I liked Julius Caesar because Julius Caesar was in my opinion too arrogant to realize that his friends and acquaintances were planning to kill him. My favorite part was when he uttered the words, "Et tu, Brute." I really liked Macbeth because Lady Macbeth acts more like a "man" than Macbeth does. My favorite scene was when Banquo appeared at the dinner party and Macbeth appeared insane to all of his guests. I am really excited to dive into Hamlet. I already finished Act I and I think it is just fascinating. I like the scene where the ghost of King Hamlet tell Prince Hamlet that his uncle had murdered him. I am really excited to see where this plot leads to next. Hopefully, it will be as good as Macbeth and Julius Caesar.
