Teachers in this area have had some trouble as of late...someone may misconstrue that statement. I didn't mean to put down Romeo and Juliet as much as I did. I think it's great if read as a comedy, but that's not the way it was taught in high school. Even my college prof. didn't see it that way. HM, I think murder and power struggles play better with young men than flowery speeches about love, and that's probably why we liked Hamlet and MacBeth so much. Billymac, I had you pegged as a Chuck Palahniuk guy. Taylor, watch what you say. Teachers in this area have had some trouble as of late…someone may misconstrue that statement.

I'm a speed reader, so I could make quick work of a play. I was lucky to go to a good high school where the teachers didn't turn me off of most things, except history. I love history, but I've never had a history course I didn't hate. My Junior year English teacher made me love “MacBeth”, and from then on, I read Shakespeare plays on my own during study hall.
