It's ironic

OK JPM, how many sonnets did the Bard write?

Just a typing glitch, not intentional.

I think the problem is that allot of his works were rammed down people's throats at school and less attention was paid to other literary minds. That's probably why there has been a cold response.

Rather late!

Correct, but they still do count! You know some of his works it is thought including some other plays may have been destroyed at the globe.

It is my hope to one day make a trip to Stratford upon Avon and to visit Henley Street where he was born as well as to see some of the historical sites.

I'm more of an Edger Allen Poe enthusiest.

Shakespeare is awesome, but so is Poe and T.S. Elliott if you are looking for something dark, with multiple interpretations...great use of language to leave the reader with multiple meanings.

correct.

Making it up as you go....I have built entire segments of my life on that theory....

Bob, I think they were just ahead of their time.

Sorcerous, the great thing about writing is that there is no ahead of there time. How can you be ahead of your time in writing a story. Writing isn't like technology where it gets better with more time and research. Writing is one thing that doesn't rely on on time to better itself. Because it is based on people, writing can be good at any point in history as long as someone has a mastered the language they use and has good imagination.

i've read romeo and juliet in the 9th grade for school. we had to act it out to it was a lot of fun. somethings actually in the begining most things our teacher had to explain but by the end we could understand it well. the jokes in that play are funny! i really enjoyed them.

Hey, I've read some shakespeare...

Not as much as you though, JPM...

two years ago my class read A Midsummer Nights Dream

What fools these mortals be

All the worlds a stage
And all the men and women merely players
The have their exits, and their entrances
And one man, in time, plays many parts
