SHAKESPEARE, AN ARTIST.

"ROMEO AND JULIET"

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the career of playwright William Shakespeare about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately unite their feuding families.

I bet most of you knows this! The whole balcony scene, the whole "dying" thing, and of course, the whole love story thing. As far as I know, Romeo and Juliet has a lot of versions. It could be a stage play, a movie, or maybe used for a ballet performance. Romeo and Juliet is one of the most famous story that Shakespeare ever made.

"A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM"

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a play by William Shakespeare. Believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596; it portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors, who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world

This play is actually special for me, because, back when I was in high school, we did this play and it just felt good being a part of the play :)





SHAKESPEARE, AN ARTIST.

For a requirement for our finals, our professor told us to write something about William Shakespeare. Just like what we did to Boccaccio, we can write whatever we like about Shakespeare and his time. So, I've decided that, since Shakespeare is very well known with his works, I will write some blogs about his works.

I've chosen "SHAKESPEARE, AN ARTIST" as a title because he is really a true artist in his own field :)
So, I hope you'll enjoy reading my blogs :D
