la la la I'm supposed to be working ...


I'm not saying which one I am just yet :-)

why can I never spell Shakespeare to save my life?

oh well, Shakespeare, Shakspear ...

Shakespeare couldn't spell Shakespeare either ;-)

A Spear, by any other name, would feel as sharp :-D

Well now I have managed to stop laughing over one of the questions

I am Juliet ...not entirely sure how to take that.

" A rose by any other name, still has thorns " ( name that tune).

I am Macbeth - well at least it wasn't Bottom...

Oh Rose by any other name, who but Juliet couldst though be??

I'm Henery the Vth I am I am.

I have the mighty power of words at my beck and call I do.

too bad we can't post the pics here.

here we are, Henry V:

I'm Beatrice

Hmm......... :-D ;-)

Could have been worse, I might have been Lady Macbeth :-)

Funny how things stick isn't it, I can still recite this even though it's 40 odd years since I read it.

"Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full
Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood.
Stop up the access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it! "

I want to see these people! All I can see is Henry V (and Romeo that someone got at another site)

Romeo http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/0LcShQ-8kWyl.jpg

Macbeth http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/DEeoeIg33_el.jpg

Juliet http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/Zsqm-vLaHLhl.jpg

Beatrice http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/KPnhTwKBiHyl.jpg

okay someone more literate than I, who is Beatrice?

Hamlet http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/OB8zEbIpygPl.jpg

Beatrice is one of the characters in 'Much Ado About Nothing'

http://www.shakespeare-online.com/plays/characters/sisterhood/sisterhoodbeatrice.html

ah Beatrice, Emma Thompson in the photo... I look rather more like she did in Nanny McPhee ...

'Much ado about nothing', I went to see the play at the theatre but had to leave early to catch the last train, I never did find out how it ended :-( maybe it is time to read it.

I'm Hamlet, apparently!
Pure tragedy :-S :-0

Nothing?
Nothing comes of nothing; speak again.
I cannot heave my heart into my mouth ...


well that's rather gross, now that I think. Anyway I can generally remember three lines of almost anything :-)

actually that's probably about the only Shaxpeer I can recite off the top of my head.

Much Ado is one that I missed entirely.


Hamlet the philosophical obsessed enigma :-D

Cordelia, " Good my lord,
You have begot me, bred me, loved me: I
Return those duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, love you, and most honour you.
Why have my sisters husbands, if they say
They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
Half my love with him, half my care and duty:
Sure, I shall never marry like my sisters,
To love my father all."

Romeo and Juliet I read as a teenager which is probably the best time to read it, it was a few years after the Franco Zeffirelli film came out, and the school showed it in the assembly hall, much teenage sighing over Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey lol. Happy days !

I am ....................... the Scottish play :-|
