Romeo + Juliet was more than awful! Why do people like it that much? Is it because of Leonardo DiCaprio? I must suppose so...
Never seen Throne of Blood but really can't wait to watch Macbeth by Kurzel with Fassbender. I have too much expectations, very high indeed!
I'm more into the real theatre plays instead of all those horrible transpositions as films.
Hamlet with David Tennant was awesome!
He IS untouchable if directors have to make those crap movies about Shakespeare, his life and his plays. There are not many good adaptations actually. That's why I'm waiting to see Macbeth now which looks like a real play but in a film. If it works it's going to be amazing.

You mean a sort of dystopian play? Uh. Not sure. It would be an interesting development indeed but considering myself a purist of literature and stuff I don't think I'd like to see those characters and those settings again. Another plot, other characters, same themes but please... I've seen too many bad adaptations of the play. Just leave Shakespeare alone and don't rape his plays in any way anymore. Ahahah!

Ophelia has always been an underrated character in my opinion. She's not just a stupid little girl as someone could say. She felt miserable after being humiliated by Hamlet himself. Some people say she was too weak to keep on living and she decided to commit suicide. Nothing could be less right than this. She was lucid in that moment and knew what she was going through. She is a very strong character. Millais represented her while she was dying for a reason. She doesn't try to save herself anymore but embraces her death better than the most valorous knight of the entire kingdom would.

See? Still another point of view about the theme of marriage market. We go straight back to Jane Austen even if in different circumstances. Anyway! Marriage as mean of gaining more and more power and wealth? What about Milady de Winter in The Three Musketeers, then. She does anything to reach power and gold. She gets married and kills. A sort of a black widow? Maybe. Still controversial and amazing.

Yes, I do.

Indeed. We know they're just literary characters but still, there's something in them. That something makes the reader feel them as people, real people. Not just fictional characters. Miss Havisham might be a very exaggerated character but I actually felt her real despite everything.
The gender thing, uh? I guess it might depend on the point of view. I mean, there are many points of view about this topic. You want to talk about women as the new badass gender ever? I'll say The Importance of being Earnest might be an example. Just think about the bossy lady Bracknell even if her social class was victim of criticism by Wilde himself. Don't know.

No way, I actually loved Great Expectations ( and love Dickens with all of my heart) and tried to understand the main characters as well but it's not that easy, is it?.
Anyway, I still agree. Some dialogues from Pride and Prejudice were actually a bit lame.
Well...No. The only things I still like about Wuthering Heights are the descriptions and maybe the narration itself. Nothing else.

He did. I totally agree but I still have feelings for Jane Eyre honestly and for this reason I will always see it as my one and only. Not an objective point of view for sure but still. Charlotte is just the only Bronte sister I like.
I didn't appreciate Wuthering Heights at all for example. Stupid characters, stupid plot.
At first I didn't even like that "Pride & Poopjuice" as you're calling it. The criticism is very strong anyway and as a woman I bet it was really hard to express herself and her ideas without being judge because of that. Living in a world made by men and for men only. There's always something positive in every book I think. This kind of books I mean. The ones that are stiil called "literature" and not "trash".

Sorry to disappoint you. It was just the first novel that made me become a real bookworm.

Only few :)
