Since Tomorrow I got the English Literature exam which is all about Shakespeare for extra credits. I was thinking of reviewing all the plays I had to study for it.
1. Much Ado About Nothing (1598-1599) 10/10 I really loved this play. The plot is somehow similar to Pride and Prejudice and Emma but instead it’s set in a city near my hometown in the Renaissance period. Benedick and Beatrice are hilarious, I really loved this couple in particular. I loved the 1993 movie adaptation especially.
2.The Taming of the Shrew (1590-1592) 8.5/10 I preferred its modern movie adaptation ‘’10 Things I Hate About You’’ since Katherine is less abusive and the relationship between Katherine and Petruchio is extremely toxic. Bianca’s relationship was slightly better though. I loved the plot and its metatheatrical intro. It was kinda sexist too lol
3. Romeo and Juliet (1594-1596) 10/10 As a tragedy, this one was well done. This is obviously one of the most popular Shakespearean tragedies of all-time and everybody knows the story pretty much.The relationship is kinda weird but the romantic undertones throughout the play are incredible see Romeo’s soliloquies or the famous balcony in Act 2. The ending was very intense too.
4. Richard III (1592-1594) 9.5/10 As a historical play, this one really had everything. No wonder that Game of Thrones and House of Cards were inspired by them. The soliloquy at the beginning gave me chills. However, I think the play really reflects our political reality. It looks like we as a society didn’t evolve much.
5. Hamlet (1599-1601) 10/10 Whew, what a trip. I didn’t Hamlet to be so depressing. Hamlet as a character was very relatable because it reminded me of myself at a certain point in my life. What I loved about this novel is Hamlet’s indecisiveness, it was very reminiscent of myself. Despite the tragic ending, I loved it. Ophelia deserved better by the way
6. Macbeth (1606) 10/10 Honestly, this is probably Shakespeare’s best tragedy, Similarly to Richard III and King Lear, Macbeth is a man who gets what he wants through corruption and immoral acts despite the witches’ prophecy. His wife Lady Macbeth is no better. However, they all get what they deserve in the end and I can’t complain about it. You reap what you sow.
7.King Lear (1605-1606) 7.5/10 King Lear was my least favorite Shakesperian play. Don’t get me wrong but Cordelia didn’t deserve to die even though the King Lear’s declining mental health process was portrayed very well with no judgement from the writer. Actually, Shakespeare felt sorry for him. Ugh his mind
8.Othello (1601) 10/10 This one was a messed up trip. How can a husband be that jealous and suspicious over his wife? I mean, Seriously? How did Othello even believe Iago’s lies in the first place? Smh....Anyway I loved Othello. His rage seemed like King Lear’s insanity to me. Overall it was really good. The handkerchief symbolism was incredible to analyze in particular.
Wish me luck for tomorrow :D
As a way to finish this thread, I’m adding these two quotes from Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth

Release: October 14, 1991
Lyrics:
A tenement, a dirty street
Walked and worn by shoeless feet
Inside it's long and so complete
Watched by a shivering sun
Old eyes in a small child's face
Watching as the shadows race
Through walls and cracks and leave no trace
And daylight's brightness shuns
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Gazing as the swollen mass
On concrete fields where grows no grass
Stumbles blindly on
Iron trees smother the air
But withering they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass is gone
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
Pearly where's your milk white skin
What's that stubble on your chin
It's buried in the rot gut gin
You played and lost not won
You played a house that can't be beat
Now look your head's bowed in defeat
You walked too far along the street
Where only rats can run
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
The race is almost run
A tenement, a dirty street
Remember worn and shoeless feet
Remember how you stood to beat
The way your life had gone
So Pearly don't you shed more tears
For those best forgotten years
Those tenements are memories
Of where you've risen from
Songwriter: David Mcwilliams
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost won

Johannes Vermeer | A Young Woman standing at a Virginal | 1672 | London National Gallery
"The young woman at the keyboard holds our eye with a direct gaze. The empty chair suggests she is expecting someone and the large painting of a naked Cupid, the god of erotic love, on the wall behind her may be a signal that she is waiting for her lover. Scenes of music making were a popular genre in seventeenth-century Holland. They were often associated with romantic encounters, sometimes obviously bawdy ones, sometimes apparently innocent. Here, the style of the Cupid painting derives from a book illustration on the theme of faithful love.
There has been much speculation that this picture and another by Vermeer, A Young Woman Seated at a Virginal (also in the National Gallery), might have been made as a pair. There are many similarities between the two, but also an apparent contrast. One may represent fidelity, the other a venal, mercenary approach to love."
The National Gallery Description:
"Vermeer's serene depiction of a keyboard player gazing directly at the viewer is also an idealised image of virtuous love. Behind her is a painting of Cupid, alluding to the picture's subject. Similar in size and subject matter, this is almost certainly a companion piece to Young Woman seated at a Virginal, also in the Gallery's collection."
