Pericles was only half by Shakespere.
I never read it, but it does sound wonderful. Guy suffers shipwrecks, bad landings, improbable events and the such, turning all the way around to be reuinted with his family. Many had said it was awful, but I cannot see how, seeing how it's by Shakespere. Well, somewhat.

Shake A Spear Sucks!!!!!!!!!! :P

If I lived when he did I really would enjoy his works as they are of high quality, I do not however like having to put effort into deciphering his cryptic phrases. The plays he wrote would be good if they were only modernized.

I agree.

It's great poetic writing. I like it even before I could fully understand it, and after I did I simply loved it.

However, Romeo and Juliet did mess me up. After reading it I wrote something, although poetic, was completely embrassing. Mahar never ever act like a such fool again :wall:

Well, that's not entirely clear. Anyway, Pericles is hilarious: There's a character who vows never to cut his hair again twice in a row. It's almost as much fun as Cymbeline, with the headless body and the bad guy hiding in a chest and creeping out at night to steal the heroine's ring (and to leer a bit, of course)... :D

Even some of the good ones are utterly ludicrous - there's some really daft stuff in the garden in Othello, for instance.

Yeah, that's quite a mental one. If I remember correctly then Twelfth Night was odd also.

Is that the one in which a girl pretending to be a boy pretending to be a girl pretends to be a boy?
