  1. Romeo and Juliet

    The most important is character of Juliet. Juliet knows nothing about the world but she becomes mature and learns quickly even more than Romeo. The process that ordinarily young girls becomes mature plays an important role in this play.

    Romeo and Juliet is a very popular play and I have seen the movie DiCaprio plays Romeo. It's tragedy but at the same time it's beatiful love story. I like this play.

  2. My favorite story is Romeo and Juliet.
    The important point in ths story is Juliet's growing up.
    Juliet gets mature and intelligence quickly to convince people surround her to get marry with Romeo.
    Even her best friend disagree with her marriage with Romeo, so she said the line that include ironic.
    This line shows how much Juliet mature and intelligent.

    I like this story because this story describe girl(Juliet) is much stronger than a boy(Romeo).
    I think it is common to describe that boys are stronger than girls especially this era.
    But most of Shakespeare's stories are tragedy, so actually, they are kind of boring for me.

  3. I like Romeo and Juliet.
    The lecture is difficult for me, so I'm not sure my comment is correct.
    In this story, character of Juliet is important. Romeo and Juliet faced to problems to marry.
    In the lecture, teacher said single line has tremendous power in Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare's techniques of writing is great. So,I choose and want to read this story.

  4. Summary- Romeo and Juliet
    the important point of this play is the character of Juliet. Because of the difficult evironment that people around her strongly dissagree her marrige, she gets mature and intelligent quicly. The ironic line Juliet's to her best friend shows that how cleaver she is unexpectedly.

    I think that the Merchant of Venice is the most interesting to analyze. In many classical stories, the villains are not cleaver enought to beat heroes but Sherlon is. I could understand how Shakespear was revolutionary playwriter.

  5. Romeo and Juliet: Shakespear's most important achivement is charactor, Juliet. Juliet wasn't mature at the beginning but was getting far smarter and more mature than Romeo because of her serious situation, which none of her family and even best friend approved of their marriage.You could tell from her line to her best friend nurse, "You make feel better". Shakespear wrote how much an ordinary standard teenage girl could become mature and smart.
    comment: I've never thought about Juliet's charactor and his message on her.

  6. Most important thing in Romeo and Juliet is character of Juliet. First, she is ordinary standerd teennager and know nothing about the world. But through the story, she become to mature so quickly.

    Romeo and Juliet is the most impressesd play for me. Because I think Romeo and Juliet is mere love story.But leaning this lecture, I can know important things about Romeo and Juliet. I should read Shakespeare's works more carefully and doubtfully.

  7. The Jewish man called Shylock was a notorious moneylender.
    Antonio borrowed money from him on a condition to hand 1pond of his meat if he could not return it before a time limit.
    After all,he was not in time for a time limit and he was hung in the court.
    Nevertheless,by the quick wit of the young jurist,he was saved.

The most important thing in this story is character of Juliet. Her father give tremendous pressure to break Romeo and Juliet. People around them say foget Romeo and find other man,even her only friend nurse say so. She is ordinary teenage girl,but through this love, she mature and grow.

  10. Shakespeare did really great things, so many people know him and his works well. I like "Romeo and Juliet". It's said to be his most important achievement and famous for its amazing line. Even though it's a sad story, but I was very impressed by its story. Almost all his works have become movies, so I want to watch them.

    My favorite is Romeo and Juliet. It is so famous work .It's story about Romeo and Juliet's romance but their family are relationship of antagonism. However, they persist in their love to the last in spite of idea of everyone.
    I think that it's interesting point is a not happy end. Romeo and Juliet's romance is so big scale, becouse including war. So their romance is not ordinary and it makes us thrill. I think that it is a not happy end but we can read their true love from it. So it is so famous in the world.

  12. The Merchant of Venice: There is a bad man, and there are so good people. The bad man is Shylock, and he is Jewish. Antonio borrowed money from Shylick for his friend, so he had enormous debt. Shylock tried to kill Antonio instead of restoration of money, so he lost own estate. Afterward, he was forced to convert to Christianity instead of capital punishment. Antonio saved.

    I didn't know this story so it's difficult. However, it seems to be interesting. I want to watch the shakespare or read the book of this story to understand deeply.

  13. c:Romeo and Juliet
    Juliet was the girl who was more intelligent than Romeo. Her parents, relatives and other people opposed to get married with Romeo, but she wanted do so. Her best friend Nurse aiso disagreed with what Juliet thougt. Juliet said to Nurse a thing that meant "You make me much better". Everyone didn't notice that it was sarcasm. Juliet was mature as times went on, and she became a woman of intellect.
    I couldn't publish the coment in class because I didn't remember password of google, sorry.
