Anticipating Shakespeare

I enjoyed A Midsummers Night's Dream even though I did think it was really corny. I think the setting of the movie was interesting and a little bit hard to follow, but it would make a good magical play. The language was very challenging for me to understand, so I didn't really know what was going on. It was either because I couldn't hear it well enough or I just don't understand shakespeare. It did get easier to understand closer to the end but by then I was already lost. The only way I understood what was going on was when I thought back to what you said to the movie before the movie started. I do think that Shakespeare did a good job at developing all of the characters to all have their own personalitys.

I'm very excited to watch Romeo and Juliet next week. I've never actually watched the play or anything about it, but of course I have certaintly heard about it. I've heard that it is an amazing but sad love story. Where Romeo is not alloud to see Juliet and they would rather die than not be together, I think that's what it's about. I think I will like it a lot and I do think I will enjoy the next few months of class but I probably still won't like the language of shakespeare because it is very hard for me to understand.
