The third part of this play is the same as the first one and the second one, it is just as bad as the 2 previous once.

This one feels like an unfinished play which really annoyed me a lot because it really killed the entire play for me.

This play has the same problem as the first one which is that if you don’t know anything about British royal family back in the day then you we struggle throughout this entire play and it is be torture. 

There are many good characters but they really didn’t made me like them or made me care for them. I appreciate very character in this play but to be fully honest here I didn’t care for me at all.

The writing style was pretty good, I’m still pretty fresh to William Shakespeare so I can’t compare it to some of his other works but it was good enough I assume. 

For me personally it was pretty boring and it was too many of names to follow and it makes even harder that I’m not familiar with the British royal family from hundreds of years ago. 

I Give This Play 1 / 5

King Cymbeline rules over Britain under the protection of Rome. His kingdom must pay tribute. Cymbeline learns that his only daughter, Innogen, has secretly married his ward, Posthumus Leonatus, a man of low birth. Furious with the couple’s disobedience, Cymbeline decides to banish Posthumus from Britain.

The writing style here was typical William Shakespeare writing with the fun poetic language in it. Which to be honest must have been the best part about this play. Which really doesn’t do much for me personally because for me it is overused by William Shakespeare. 

To be honest here the plot of this play is pretty generic William Shakespeare plot about love, battle and the huge tragedy at the end which of course is death.

The plot is almost the same as King Lear. It talks about the same things but this one is a little bit worse than King Lear was. 

For me personally this play felt like an echo of some of his better works which really failed to accomplish what his better works had accomplish. 

All of the characters in this play are pretty much the same person dressed as different people. All of the characters in this play are super annoying and boring which really made it impossible for me to like it.

The jealous King Leontes falsely accuse his wife Hermione of infidelity with his best friend, and she dies. Leontes exiles his newborn daughter Perdita, who is raised by shepherds for sixteen years and falls in love with the son of Leontes’ friend.

The plot in this play is pretty generic William Shakespeare plot about love, battle and the huge tragedy at the end which of course is death. This play has the same problem as the majority of the plays written by William Shakespeare which is that it is poorly presented to us. Which really sucks because it could really be very good.

The plot was so poorly done here that I ended up DNF-ing this play after reading something around 30% of it. The plot pretty much was very boring and uninteresting.

The characters here were very uninteresting and boring but also at the same time very annoying. Most of the characters here felt like the same person dressed as different people. Which really made me hate this play even more because it was very confusing keeping track of who was who in this play.

Prospero uses magic to conjure a storm and torment the survivors of a shipwreck, including the King of Naples and Prospero’s treacherous brother, Antonio. Prospero’s slave, Caliban, plots to rid himself of his master, but is thwarted by Prospero’s spirit-servant Ariel.

To be honest this play is another one which didn’t quite get into my taste.

I personally thought that this play was super boring and uninteresting to that point that I DNF-ed it around 50%. 

The plot here is very generic William Shakespeare plot about love, battle and the final tragedy which of course is death. It would be fine if it was presented to us in a different way because I personally found it not in my taste.

Wealthy and popular, Timon of Athens helps his friends, gives many gifts, and holds a feast. After ignoring his true friends’ warnings, Timon runs out of money, and none of his “friends” will help him. He runs away to a cave where he curses humanity, finds gold, funds someone to destroy Athens, and dies.

This play is very poorly constructed because it is all over the place and sometimes it feel like the play missed couple of pages because it felt not quite complete. 

The plot of this play is very boring and it was a pure torture for me while I was reading this one. I ended up DNF-ing this one after having read like 40 ish % of it just because I couldn’t take it anymore.

The characters here are very boring and I just couldn’t keep track of who was who in this play. Because every characters just felt like the same person to me which really made it hard for me to like it. But this tends to be the biggest problem for me with plays written by William Shakespeare.

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.

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.

A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia.

This play was another play by William Shakespeare which I didn’t care about and which I didn’t like at all. To be fully honest I DNF-ed this one after reading like 56% of it.

The plot here was very typical William Shakespeare plot. Which normal ends up with me not liking it just because I don’t like plays about kings, queens and royal family in genera. 

The writing style here was the best thing in this play because it gave the biggest William Shakespeare vibe which I enjoyed a lot.

This play was written by William Shakespeare so you know that there will be a dramatic death in here somewhere. The death here wasn’t half bad but still it was a stretch and it really made me laugh when it happened. 

The characters here are super unrealistic and they are really the definition of someone being very very annoying.

Lago manipulates Othello into believing his wife Desdemona is unfaithful, stirring Othello’s jealousy. Othello allows jealousy to consume him, murders Desdemona, and then kills himself.

I had high expectations for this one because I’ve heard so much good about this play but unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations. 

The plot was super boring in this one to be fully honest. But I’ll give this play another chance by watching it live whenever I get the chance to do that and see if I like it better than. 

The characters in this play was okay for the most part but I just didn’t care about them. But also they were super confusing and I just couldn’t keep up with who was who in this play.

There are a lots of problems whit the characters here because of the way it has aged. All of the characters here are either racist or very obsessive with someone else. 

The writing style here was the best thing in this play because it gave the biggest William Shakespeare vibe which I enjoyed a lot.
