Thought I may as well ask, do any of you know much about Shakespeare? It's one of the courses for my degree.. Got an exam on it on Monday. Have some basic notes on Richard III and Henry V, also some on Taming the Shrew.. Trying to get some stuff together on Hamlet and Othello (we were told to revise at least 6) and I need one other play... preferably one that can be linked to Shrew.. I'm so stuck on finding the last play :lac: .. that and getting notes together on Hamlet/Othello! You need to be able to link them as the exam questions ask for that, but I'm so stuck! had a look at past papers just now and that hasnt helped either, can do the questions on feminism pretty well but as for anything else.... Anyway if you know a bit hopefully you can give me some advice, please please please

The only one I know is the Merchant of Venice!

What about Romeo and Juliet?

I wish, I actually quite like those two! Have to do the specific ones they asked us to study, most of which are the most complicated.. :lac:Am getting an appeal from me dr so even if I do fail its not the end of the world but I do want to make an effort lol x

Hi Daisy,

Shakespeare... aggg!! :ohmy:
I hated that at school. The only one we had to study was Romeo & Juliet. I don’t remember much now except the basic storyline.

I’m with Spike Milligan when it comes to Shakespeare...
“I thought I’d read something by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads anything of mine!”Good luck with exam :)
