Harley: Hahaha, Shakespeare the pimp. xDD Some of his sonnets are a bit eyebrow-raising.

Aw, bye Zivvy, bye Ode. ;;

People don read Shakespeare because it is not immediately understandable to them. They are lazy- or just don't like it. Not everyone digs iambic pentameter and all

Night Filip.

You'd better tell my fiance before we elope.


NIGHT ALL. REMEMBER TO DO MISSIONS!

Elvilla 05-31-2010 05:50 AM

Good night ode. Sleep well.

Harley Q 05-31-2010 05:51 AM

It's not really that hard to understand, you just have to take it slowly and concentrate. And I find visualizing everything helps. Although sometimes it can be difficult to know if a character is joking or not but usually you can figure it out..

It is a lot more fun to read Shakespeare out loud though, with a bunch of people. I read Romeo and Juliet with a friend of mine, we each acted out a handful of characters. It was a lot of fun.

Elvilla 05-31-2010 05:51 AM

Gaiaonline sucks. Also I am not spying on you. I want to make sure you don't say smack about me.

Roxxxy 05-31-2010 05:51 AM

I really like The Tempest. Think its my fave.

Quantum Angel 05-31-2010 05:52 AM

Good night, Ode.

Pumi, that is the unfortunate reason that MANY classics end up putting people to sleep. They are simply too lazy to understand the writing style; they only understand modern speech.
In extreme cases, speak one sentence to them without a modern slang term and they will have no clue what you just said.

Filip 05-31-2010 05:52 AM

WE'RE SAYIN' SMACK ABOUT YOUUUU

Elvilla 05-31-2010 05:52 AM

Meh. Screw you guys. I'm going home. And I am going to go play portal.

Harley Q 05-31-2010 05:52 AM

The Tempest. I started reading that one but never finished. Although the reason that I started it was because someone recommended it to me.. hmm. I should really get around to finishing it..

Sarasvati 05-31-2010 05:52 AM

Sometimes people just have a hard time getting used to the older English used. I've never really had a problem with it, but I knew a number of fellow students who didn't know what was going on at certain points when they first read it.

We usually read scenes in class, too. xD Some of the kids were in the theatre group, too, so it would vary from normal reading to really silly, dramatic ones.

Ascadellia 05-31-2010 05:53 AM

I, am so lost. x.x;

Elvilla: Were you stuck on the level where you are first introduced to drowning hazards?
If so, I believe I can help.

Harley Q 05-31-2010 05:53 AM

Trolllzzzzzzzzz.

Unfunny trolls and therefore inexperienced trolls. Learn to be better at your trade, gawd.

Roxxxy 05-31-2010 05:54 AM

My boyfriend doesn't even have the patience to watch Gone With The Wind with me, let alone would he sit through Shakespeare! I don't blame him though... he is ESL.

Harley Q 05-31-2010 05:54 AM

.. Gone With the Wind looks lame.

Filip 05-31-2010 05:54 AM

god we aren't trolls :c
we were spyin'
but only in a very silly fashion
i thought we were bein' pretty obvious about our lack of seriousness.

Zivvy 05-31-2010 05:54 AM

Goodnight to those who are sleeping.
I will be back in a few hours, including a rest after lunch.

see you later.

phrank 05-31-2010 05:54 AM

I would like to know that you're pretty much the only person who doesn't think we're funny.
:(

pumibel 05-31-2010 05:54 AM

I havent read any in years, but I used to read a lot of it. I just have to get back into the swing of it and I enjoy it a lot. It is like this reading Chaucer or the Decameron. Even Poe and TS Elliot are very different from what we write these days and take a little switch mentally.

Roxxxy 05-31-2010 05:55 AM

GWTW is one of the best movies! I swear I'm not old! It breaks my heart, yet makes me stronger, every time I watch it.

chihiro 05-31-2010 05:55 AM

::prostrates herself on the ground before Ascadellia::

thank you, cheesecake is my FAVORITE!!! and i don't like cake >.<

sorry this was so delayed, i was talking to someone!

Elvilla 05-31-2010 05:56 AM

@Amani- I am playing the flash version online. And it is level 9. It says infinite loop.

Harley Q 05-31-2010 05:56 AM

Except that clearly you're bothering her and then admitting that you're saying rude things about her, and in effect making her leave. Yeah, you're trolling.

And I doubt these other people think your funny, don't be naive. -.-;
