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 is furious about being overlooked for promotion and plots to take revenge against his General; Othello, the Moor of Venice. 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.

Measure for Measure is about the fate of Claudio, who is arrested by Lord Angelo, the temporary leader of Vienna. Angelo is left in charge by the Duke, who pretends to leave town but instead dresses as a friar to observe the goings-on in his absence.

I complete hate this play because it was so damn boring and it was a pure torture reading this play. 

This play was so boring that I ended up DNF-ing it after having read like 30% of it because it was so exhausting. 

The characters here were super annoying and I didn’t care for them at all. The characters in this play were also super confusing because I just couldn’t tell them apart because all of them felt like the same person just dressing up as different people. 

The plot in this play wasn’t better than the characters. I had the hardest time ever trying to follow the plot-line.

The writing style in this play was super bad to that point that it surprised me because it didn’t feel like William Shakespeare.

Twelfth Night is a fast-paced romantic comedy with several interwoven plots of romance, mistaken identities and practical jokes. Separated from her twin brother Sebastian in a shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a boy, calls herself Cesario, and becomes a servant to the Duke Orsino.

This play like many other plays by William Shakespeare was boring and I just didn’t care for it. This play didn’t disappoint me because many plays by William Shakespeare have done that so I started not having any expectations for them. 

The plot here was typical William Shakespeare plot which really had the potential to be good but simply wasn’t. The romance here together with the lame jokes in this play makes this play insufferable and pure torture.  

This play was an attempt by William Shakespeare to make a rom-com which I need to say that he accomplished but I personally hate rom-coms so of course I hate this play as well.

The characters in this play are super boring because they are the most generic rom-com characters as it can be. Which really made me want to stab myself with something in both of the eyes.
