We read Romeo and Juliet in high school

I want to read him but his language seems so much more elaborate than the everyday English I use on the internet that I don't know how to approach him.

I read him during English classes in high school and also performed a couple of his plays in youth theatre.

We did this as well, also watched a bit of the film with Leo Di Caprio in it. I hated high school but I loved English, I miss it.

Seems so fucking stupid to read a play. Just go see the show. Fuck's sake.

this version?

I watched once Macbeth on tv. It was in english. I didn't understand jackshit and I'm usually pretty good with everyday english

no dead white males are problematic so its all replaced now

I read Hamlet, Macbeth, and midsummer night's dream in highschool.I remember really enjoying hamlet

There are other versions?

Everyone dies in the end: the author

the gentlemans version

usually modern printings would have footnotes, so you can get through some of the obscure words

We just watched the movie

Why would I read an English writer if I'm not English?

>brown nipples
not white anyway

every english schoolkid is forced to do shakespeare. we hate it because half of it you cant even understand and the teacher always has a huge hard on for it as if it's the greatest thing ever written but to a 14 year old it's just nonsense

Shakespeare isnt grate.
Chaucer is better.
Gavind Douglas is best.

Uh, bro, Romeo and Juliet wasn't set in England...
