I, Aidan Adams, know all of Romeo and Juliet. I also know Gnomeo and Juliet and instant classic amongst other Shakespeare plays. Shakespeare stole his ideas from other people, end of story.

Romeo and Juliet is one that I’m familiar with. They are held in a high regard because of the way they speak.

One very famous play I know from Shakespeare is Romeo and Juliet. He’s held to such a high regard because his plays tell a very good story with many morals. His plays are always made into adaptations because of how famous he is.

Like almost everyone here, I’m familiar with Romeo and Juliet. I’m also familiar with hamlet, a midsummer night dream, and Mc Beth. His plays are not only very well written but they also have a very powerful message most the time.

I am familiar with Romeo and Juliet. I have heard of others but our not familiar with their stories. He was a very famous writer and was know to always talk in proper English. His stories are known for being a romance , comedy or a tragedy. Those qualities seem to always make a good topic for movies and are interesting to the veiwers. This is why Shakespeare is well known.

I’m familiar with Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. Skakespear held such a high regard because he started writing when he was young and continued writing till death. They are frequently produced because it is some of the best literature from that era.

Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet are all plays written by Shakespeare that I’m somewhat familiar with. I think his plays are still well known because what they were about are still relevant today. The issues he based his plays around are still issues that we as a society continue to have.

One Shakespeare play I know is Romeo and Juliet. I think his plays became so famoused and are still being used today because it really showed true love in it. Even though Shakespeare most likely stole the ideas for his plays, it was still very well written.

I’m familiar with Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Otheleo and Macbeth. The boy Shakesphere is so well know across eras because of the tragedy’s and usually romantic plays he made. The articulation, and the primary theme behind his stories are what draws readers in.

I am familiar with Romeo and Juliet. Reading Shakespeare for the first time last year, I had adapt to his writing styles and word choice. This why I think he is still so famous to this day and also his ability to create stories.
