Roman general Coriolanus makes his name defeating an enemy army and defending Rome. The Senate nominates him as consul but he cannot win the people’s vote, so he is banished from Rome and allies with his old enemy.

This play was like the majority of plays by William Shakespeare which I’ve read and hated. Because all of the plays by William Shakespeare really are the same and involve love, struggle and then dead at the end. Which really annoys me at that point. 

This entire play was super boring and uninteresting and I ended DNF-ing it after have read like 60 ish % of it. 

The writing style here was probably the best thing in this play because it gave the William Shakespeare vibes with the poetic language but that just all and there isn’t much else to say.

The characters here are super boring and uninteresting. To be fully honest here I just didn’t care for any of the characters here because I just couldn’t stand them at all. 

I Give Play 1 / 5

A tragedy of love and duty. Antony & Cleopatra written around 1606 is one of Shakespeare’s great historical love stories. Antony is captivated by Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Gossip and scandal leads to plots of murder and battles.

This one was very close to being “Romeo and Juliet” part 2 because in the end it was the same play with the characters having different names.  This play truly shows that love and politics doesn’t fit in together. 

The plot of this play was love, politics and murder which really was so uninteresting and to be honest this one might be the worst play ever written. The entire plot is very over dramatic and really it just was part 2 to Romeo and Juliet.

There are too many characters in this play to keep track of. And really all of them were super annoying and boring. To be fully honest here all of the characters here felt like the same person but dressed differently. 

The writing style here was probably the best thing in this play because it gave the William Shakespeare vibes with the poetic language but that just all and there isn’t much else to say.

This is a narrative poem focusing on the rape and tragic death of the title character and on the desire for revenge that follows. The work has been subcategorized as a complaint poem, a work in which the main character laments or bemoans his or her unfair fate or injustice.

This play by William Shakespeare surprised me in a good way because I was expecting something which wouldn’t work for me. But this play was actually okay in my opinion.

I personally don’t like plays and I am not a fan of watching nor reading plays but this one was actually fun to read. 

The characters in this play were okay but to be honest I wasn’t the biggest fan of them. There weren’t annoying I just personally didn’t care for them but they were tolerable so I gave this play points for that. 

The plot here was somehow darker than the rest of William Shakespeare’s plays but in a good way. Because in my opinion it suited William Shakespeare much better in a way. This play for the most part is about rape and tragic death which are very sad topics but I really liked.

The narrative is very self-absorbed and melodramatic which annoyed me at times. To be honest this play would have been much better if these two were removed from this play. 

The writing style here was okay. The writing style here was very typical William Shakespeare writing style which I personally never came to appreciate. 

I Give Play 3 / 5

A lover’s complaint is a compressed poem detailing the predicament of an abandoned female lover who laments her undoing at the hands of an unscrupulous male seducer.

The writing style here was very good and beautiful to be honest. 

This one was short so there isn’t much to say about it.

To poetry here was okay but the plot was worse. Because it was the generic plot of William Shakespeare about love, grief and death was really fast gets depressing if you ask me. 

This poem is fun, enjoyable and interesting to read but still there was something missing in it at least for me.
