Shakesrearen Stories

The movie "The Notebook" is a movie that is has similer plots to shakespearen plays. this movies has a love triangle between the two main charecters and one of the main characters fiance. The main charecters are also seperated because one of the main characters parents do not approve of their relationship. And to me this seems very similer to the type of plays shakespeares makes.

I think the author who wrote the book the movie The Notebook is based off of did not get a lot of his ideas from Romeo and Juliet but I do think he was insprired a little by the play. I think the author got his idea from this play because the plots are slightly similer.

anticipating shakespeare

As our class watches a Midsummer's Night Dream I am finding that it is easier to understand the way that the characters are speaking, but I still find the way the characters speak hard to understand in some parts of the movie. Though I do find Shakespeare's plots interesting and his plays fun to watch most of the time, i do sometimes find myself bored or uninterested. I just hope I don't feel this way while reading Romeo and Juliet.

I have never read Romeo and Juliet but i do know the main plot. I know that it is story of two young lovers separated by their families differences. I am not entirely sure how much i will like the play but i will try to enjoy the play.
