Hallo! School's out (FINALLY!!!) and I have to write an essay for a club I'm in on Shakespeare. (Could they be anymore vague!?) It has a 5 page minimum and could be about Shakespeare himself, or his work. I have no clue where to start. Any ideas for me? *puppy eyes* The works I'm familiar with are:
-King Lear
-MacBeth
-Romeo and Juliet
-A Midsummer Night's dream

You could write about the origins of the plays. Romeo and Juliet wasn't actually an original idea and stuff...
My Shakespeare essay wasn't that greatXD

I've studied MacBeth and Romeo and Juliet from your list...hated R&J, but MacBeth was fun.
*thinks about a topic* *fails* ...
If you read Hamlet, then you could analyze Hamlet's revenge (his motives, hesitation, consequences, etc.) but uh, I don't remember much about MacBeth and R&J except for the plot, sorry. x_X;;
*is a Hamlet freak* ><
I'm sure you can write a decent paper on Shakespeare himself though...? XD

Romeo and Juliet just pisses me off. They're such rejects, and rather incompetent. You'd think they would have discussed a plan between them but noooo they have to go off and pretend to kill each other. By the end of the play, I usually think their stupidity in being unable to make a decent play makes them deserving of their deaths. Darwinian process of eillimination indeed.

Well, I've just finished writing an essay on As You Like It (crappest Shakespeare play ever!). I just analyse the language, the context, the ideas behind it, all of the little ridiculous details...

Was that for language or literature? I hate the language exams because there's so much tedious detail no one really cares about. I made up a load of crap about alternative interpretations, which was actually a fairly intelligent load of crap.
Glad I'm free of Shakespeare. however next year I get Plato and Homer. Well, it should be a change.
