Shakespearian Plays

Dominique @dodo19 (47432) • Beaconsfield, Quebec 20 Mar 09

isabelwakeford Yes indeed; comedies end in marriage and concern a middling, or lower order of chaacters (amusing or not); tragedies end in death and the 'fall' of kings , or emperors.....and sometimes lighthearted scenes involving 'lowlife' characters.. but the ending always...

isabelwakeford well in the famous "To be, or not to be" soliloquy -a discussion with himself, which lets the audience know what he's thinking and when he has become so depressed he is contemplating suicide - Hamlet ponders on what it means to be alive (to 'be'). What stops...

isabelwakeford You're welcome, Kirtricks. If you like philosophy, HAMLET's the play for you;he spends all his time thinking and philosophising instead of avenging his father's death. Great stuff. Namaste.

isabelwakeford Yes indeed;a great 'philosophical' comedy with "The 7 Ages of Man speech" and lots of others, including on "The passing of time" and "The nature of true love!". Equally, HAMLET is a great 'philosophical' tragedy. Namaste.

I am a writer. I have published articles to several sites online for about three years now. I enjoy it and I enjoy the process. I especially enjoy finding a curiousity and then starting to do research on it and then writing the...

isabelwakeford Dear all As an unaccomplished, ever-hopeful, writer of short stories, ( and small-time Astro-profiler), I would agree that the plot is the silken-thread that holds the whole effort together; there again, creating a sense of place and setting with...

isabelwakeford Dear Sender 621 I agree with you Sender. Sh. produce such a large body of work, pure poetry as well as plays, that he would be an impossibly hard act to follow, in regard to both quantity, as well as quality. . Ben Jonson thought he was Sh. equal at the time,...
