I don't think that we should have to do Shakespeare at GCSE as I don't really class it as something that you are going to need later on in life.
Despite the fact I adore English, Shakespeare is dull and confusing for me.
I Hate english, hate every single thing to do with it
i cannot write anything such as stories/ essays/ descriptions :@
English Is My 2nd Best Subject. I've Just Finished Shakespeare For My CourseWork - I Dont Find It Confusing And Im In Yr 9
I'm doing Romeo And Juliet for GCSE.
I find it quiet interesting. We're doing Diary Entries for it atm, it's fun.
Macbeth was boring..
I think my relationship with Shakespear plays is touch and go.
Some of his plays are awesome:
Romeo and Juliet
Macbeth
But the rest i see as boringly stupid.
I agree with Baving we shouldn't have to study it, but there again it's fun as we're doing R+J

Romeo And Juliet Was Interesting Macbeth Was Also Interesting We Havent Studied Anymore But Cos I ave 3 Years We Might Do More
It gets really hard if your top set English and studying it.
But hopefully i'll get a good grade in it, as i take a lot of time preparing my essay.

More than a load of balls... its stinks we just started Much Ado About Nothing .. Gah !
No, i don't see the need for it ;o but it is intresting :P
I didn't think french was needed either so i ditched 99% of the french lessons, but i wish i hadnt considering the ammount of french ppl that come to my furni shop and cuss me in there language when i say no :P
Ugh, Shakespeare. That's what really prevented me from getting most of my good marks. Romeo & Juliet was alright (did that 3 years ago), Macbeth was weird (did that 2 years ago), Othello was interesting and simple (did it last year) and this year was King Lear, it was too complicated. It's like there's 2 different stories going on and then they blend into one, which made it even harder. I don't like old english either, too difficult to understand.
Thank god it's over for me.
I hated English soooo much, the essay writing and analysis of poems drove me mad, but i actually liked reading the books and watching the movies. Romeo and Juliet the film is brilliant, i also liked Macbeth.
All I remember from Macbeth is that quote: "Is this a dagger I see before me?" for some odd reason.Quote:

From Macbeth i just remember her having blood on her hands, and her stabbing someone ( a king?) at a party. Dont get me wrong though, although i hated the course i got good grades :-)Quote:

That's good that good grades were derived from a course you hated. :)Quote:

Nenywho, i like shakespear. My favourite is midsummers night dreams. Shakespears great...
Atm my class are studying The Merchant of Venice, it's really intresting! Macnbeth isn't as good, I done that for my SATs
SAT's Are Easy I Did Them In Yr8 And Good Great Marks, I Did Better Than Some Yr9's Which I Was Happy About.
In My SAT's We Did Macbeth.
Yep. It's totally boring. I actually quite liked it at the beginning but as we are studying it that much it's starting to really annoy me.
Personally I hate shakespeare, I have so far done Twelfth Night and Merchant of Venice. I believe we are going to start Macbeth soon -.- I hate trying to understand the language and our English teacher expects us to know everything because we are in the top set for English. Dream on Mr Liddle :rolleyes:
Hmm, romeo and juliet seems ok now weve got into it
its all referring to 'ex' with the 's' , (dont want to be rude on forum)
