1.  Shakespeare wrote plays, not novels, so it is much better to see them performed rather than read them (unless you are talking about sonnets)\n2.  The language is difficult, and most competing forms of entertainment require far less work.\n3.  If you notice how many of the questions here are written, you will notice that the chat room / e-mail / text messaging generation does not seem to relate to the written word in the same way that old folks like me do.\n4.  High school teachers aren't always well equipped to teach Shakespeare.  \n\nAll that aside, I have been amazed at how some adolescents absolutely love Shakespeare, despite all of those disadvantages.

Both are fiction.  That's like asking me if Snow White is more believeable than Cinderella.

Well, my friend did a paper about this actually and bent my ear about it. Basically what she said was Shakespear only had one Jew in his plays, and that was Shylock from the Merchant of Venice. and the answer she came up with was, maybe. there is not enough evidence to say one way or another if he was racist.

Strictly speaking, this does not answer your question, but it might be fun to keep in mind that Shakespeare (whoever he was) basically ripped off the story of Romeo and Juliet from some French novel or something that ripped it off from some other source that was an adaptation of an old Greek story (or something like that).  It might be better to judge Shakespeare by some of his other works, rather than the admitted fluff that is Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo And Juliet by William Shakespeare\n\nhttp://www.elook.org/literature/shakespeare/romeo-and-juliet/\n\nI have found 12 summaries for you to look at, click the link below. I have included a short extract to give you a taste of what the reviews have to offer and they’re FREE..!!!\n\nNotes:  Act 1 Scene 2.\n\nIn this brief scene, the audience learns more about Juliet, the heroine of the play who has not yet been introduced on the stage. She is young girl of fourteen and obviously Capulet's pride and joy. The father says of Juliet that "the earth has swallowed all hopes but she." When Paris asks Capulet for her hand in marriage, he hesitates at first; then he says that he will agree if the idea pleases Juliet. In the thirteenth century, when noble marriages were usually arranged by the family, it is a loving father who wants to please his child. His concern for Juliet is similar to the concern for Romeo revealed by Lady Montague in the first scene. Even though these families hate one another, they dearly love their children.

In the novel as well as in the drama, it is human nature and human action that we see. The difference between these sorts of fiction lies not merely in their outward form; not merely in the circumstance that the personages of the one are made to speak, while those of the other have commonly their history narrated. Unfortunately many dramas are but novels, which proceed by dialogue; and it would not be impossible to write a drama in the shape of letters\nhttp://www.bartleby.com/314/507.html

It's pretty hard to compare and contrast anything if you haven't read it, so I would suggest you read Midsummer Night's Dream, and get quotes that have something to do with your argument, instead of just soliciting any old quotes.

Polyneices and Eteocles, two brothers leading opposite sides in Thebes' civil war, have both been killed in battle. Creon, new ruler of Thebes, has declared that Eteocles will be honored and Polyneices disgraced. The rebel brother's body will not be sanctified by holy rites, and it will lay unburied to be the food of carrion animals. Antigone and Ismene are the sisters of the dead brothers, and they are now the last children of the ill-fated Oedipus. In the opening of the play, Antigone brings Ismene outside the city gates late at night for a secret meeting: Antigone wants to bury Polyneices' body, in defiance of Creon's edict. Ismene refuses to help her, fearing the death penalty, and she is unable to dissuade Antigone from going to do the deed by herself.\n\nCreon enters, along with the Chorus of Theban elders. He seeks their support in the days to come, and in particular their support for his edict regarding Polyneices' body. The Chorus pledges their support. A Sentry enters, reporting fearfully that the body has been buried. A furious Creon orders the Sentry to find the culprit or face death himself. The Sentry leaves, but after a short absence he returns, bringing Antigone with him. Creon questions her, and she does not deny what she has done. She argues unflinchingly with Creon about the morality of the edict and the morality of what she has done. Creon grows angrier, and, thinking Ismene must have helped her, summons the girl. Ismene tries to confess falsely to the crime, seeking to die with her sister, but Antigone will have none of it. Creon orders that the two women be temporarily locked up inside.\n\nHaemon, Creon's son and Antigone's fiancé, enters to pledge allegiance of his father. He initially seems willing to obey Creon. But when Haemon tries gently to persuade his father to spare Antigone, the discussion deteriorates and the two men are soon bitterly insulting each other. Haemon leaves, vowing to never see Creon again.\n\nCreon decides to spare Ismene but to imprison Antigone in a cave. She is brought out of the house, and she bewails her fate and defends her actions one last time. She is taken away, with the Chorus expressing great sorrow because of what is going to happen to her.\n\nTeiresias, the blind prophet, enters. He warns Creon that the gods side with Antigone. Creon accuses Teiresias of being corrupt, and Teiresias responds that because of Creon's mistakes, he will lose one child for the crimes of leaving Polyneices unburied and putting Antigone into the earth. All of Greece will despise him, and the sacrificial offerings of Thebes will not be accepted by the gods.\n\nThe Chorus, terrified, asks Creon to take their advice. He assents, and they tell him that he should bury Polyneices and free Antigone. Creon, shaken, agrees to do it. He leaves with a retinue of men to help him right his previous mistakes. The Chorus delivers a choral ode on/to the god Dionysis, and then a Messenger enters. He tells them that Haemon has killed himself. Eurydice, Creon's wife and Haemon's mother, enters and asks the Messenger to tell her everything. The Messenger reports that Haemon and Antigone have both taken their own lives. Eurydice disappears into the palace.\n\nCreon enters, carrying Haemon's body. He understands that his own actions have caused these events. A Second Messenger arrives to tell Creon and the Chorus that Eurydice has killed herself. With her last breath, she cursed her husband. Creon blames himself for everything that has happened, and, a broken man, he asks his servants to help him inside. The order he valued so much has been protected, and he is still the king, but he has acted against the gods and lost his child and his wife. The Chorus closes by saying that the gods punish the proud, but punishment brings wisdom. \n\n\nSee this for a summary and analysis:\n\nhttp://www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/titles/antigone/

Portia (plays the judge and herself)\nNerissa (portrays the judge's clerk and herself)\nJessica (Shylock's daughter also disguises herself as a boy to escape from Shylock)\nLancelot Gobbo pretends he isn't his father's son.\n\nNotice the predominance of women.

MacBeth was only written in English, there is no such thing as an "Elizabethean" version. \n\nYou can't translate English into English!

I dunno if this'll help, but I thought I'd give it a try . . .\nI just read through Macbeth with my lil' bro a little while ago, and I'm rereading Othello now, and it's funny that you ask about the inevitability of prohecies and the first prophecy he gets, because even though there are no prophecies in Othello, Iago does say something about deals with the devil.\nI don't have the book on me, so I can't give a direct quote, but, Iago compares himself to a devil and says that the reason he tells the truth in the beginning of his evil scheme to bring about Othello's downfall is because a demon (or in Hamlet's case a witch) will give you bits of the truth in order to lure you into dealing with them.  That way you will think that they aren't evil, because an evil being would lie.  Does that make sense? \nSo when he saw the first prophecy come true without any action on his part, he thought it would be okay to help the rest of them along, because it was his destiny and not evil magic.  I think the irony is that whether or not he killed Duncan the prophecy should have come true.  Or maybe it was foretold that he would kill Duncan, and the witches just neglected to tell him that part, and knowing that he would, let Lady MacB goad him into it.\nI never read "The Bottle Imp", but it sounds interesting, I think I'll give it a try.\nHope that helps!
