About William Shakespeare

Good morning! I had a lot of tests last week, so I could not update my blog. Sorry for my postponement of update. Now, I want to write about William Shakespeare.

Last year, I studied about Shakespeare in Intensive Reading class. We read “Hamlet” in Japanese and original English version. At first, I was very looking forward to studying about him because he was very famous author in English literature and I had knew his name and names of works for long years. However, I came to be hate him soon because his English was very complex. His grammar was not the same as our grammar and I could not understand his English. In addition to it, it was very difficult for me to look up the words in his works. It took a lot of time to choose exactly right meaning from my dictionary. It took about one hour to understand only one sentence! That was terrible!

So I do not have good impression for him.

However, in the last class, we watched many versions of “Hamlet”. It was very interested for me. And I came to want to write about him and his works in my final report. I want to write about it in this blog, but I do not want to run out of things to write my final report, I would like to write it in my report. I would like to discuss about “Hamlet” and “Romeo and Juliet.”

I think I have to start writing my final report, but I have two tests tomorrow. One of these tests is the history of English literature and I should study about Shakespeare. I want to write good report about him, so I am going to study hard about him tonight!
