The ghost of the King of Denmark tells his son Hamlet to avenge his murder by killing the new king, Hamlet’s uncle. Hamlet feigns madness, contemplates life and death, and seeks revenge. His uncle, fearing for his life, also devises plots to kill Hamlet.

I personally think that this play was okay. I didn’t love it nor did I hate it. Im like in the middle on this one. 

The plot here was very fun and interesting to read but there were some bad moments here and there which were super boring for me personally but for the most part the plot in this play was good.

The theme of this play is madness and revenge which I really loved. And the ghost situation here was also good. 

The writing style here was okay for the most part. Even thou it was classic William Shakespeare writing style in this plot I still think that William Shakespeare could have done a better job on this one. 

The characters here are meh to be honest. And I just didn’t care for them at all. But this play becomes better and better as it goes on because 90% of all characters here die which made me so happy.

Prince of Tyre leaves home to escape death only to win a jousting contest and marry a princess. Once he can return home, his family sails with him, but a storm separates them, so Pericles returns alone. Years later, Pericles finds his daughter and reunites with the wife he had thought was dead.

This one was a pretty okay play written by William Shakespeare. This one surprised me in a good way because I didn’t like the majority of plays written by William Shakespeare but this one was pretty good for me.

This play have a huge Charles Dickens Vibe to it which I personally come to enjoy and to be honest I ended giving this play some extra point for the Charles Dickens Vibe which it had.

The plot in this play was pretty good but still it had the generic William Shakespeare plot about love, battle and the huge tragedy at the end which of course is death. But to be honest I didn’t mind in this one because of the way it was presented to us which made the plot a little bit more fun and a little bit more interesting. 

The writing style here was good here. Of course it had the typical William Shakespeare writing with the fun poetic language in it.

It tells the story of Venus, the goddess of Love; of her unrequited love; and of her attempted seduction of Adonis, an extremely handsome young man, who would rather go hunting. The poem is pastoral, and at times erotic, comic and tragic. It contains discourses on the nature of love, and observations of nature.

This was an okay poems / plays written by William Shakespeare. In my opinion it was one of the best plays written by William Shakespeare. But it goes back to the fact that I personally don’t like plays at all. 

The plot here in this play talks is a generic William Shakespeare with love, battle / war, tragedy etc. You know the deal if you read any of William Shakespeare plays before. However the way it was pretend to us made is fun and okay. And it was interesting and enjoyable to read it.

In my opinion this one was too melodramatic for me but it had many good moments. 

The writing style here was very good it really showed me how good of a writer William Shakespeare was and why so many people love his work.

This one is sort of a mix between play and a a collection of various poems. Which makes it a little bit hard to review. 

For me personally it felt like there was something missing but it might be just me not liking plays / poems.

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.

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.
