Alas poor Cordelia
 

I got 7/10 - not so hot on the non-tragedies.

8 but don't ask me how :erm: Must have actually listened at school now and then :p:

Cos you're an undercover swot! :PP:

I got 9/10 - being forced to study Shakespeare did come in useful, after all! :rofl:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

I did Macbeth, Hamlet and Lear at school/college. Also read Richard III. Can't be doing with the soppy ones though, and the comedies don't appeal.

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Incredibly I got 9/10, although a fair bit of that was lucky guesses!

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

8/10 - not bad :D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Snap and for the same reason.

Never did Shakespear at school (not O'Level English Lit). Just what I have picked up over time I suppose.

Ah great minds think alike because I was teaching IT(I sat there while year 10 got on with their GCSE coursework) so I wasted a few minutes at the beeb site too(so many places are blocked at school :rolleyes:).I got 8/10 which I thought was good because it's been a long time since I did anything but Macbeth,Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet so it was a nice surprise.

They also didn't even get to Merchant of Venice

"If you pr*ck us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that."

Or Twelfth Night

"If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die."

Oh Shakespeare was such a genius.:tu:

3/10

Well its been a while since I last studied Shakespeare.

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Same here, chance level. Not surprising as I never studied Shakespeare. Either that or, as per the BBC title, I am not very smart ;)

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

3 / 10 and they were guesses, strongly helped by the title of this thread :dunce:

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

6 / 10 - not bad bearing in mind I haven't read or seen any Shakespeare since I did my A-levels (and I failed them :D ).

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

will not even attempt it, never studied, or even read a shakespear novel

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Didn't bother trying it :dunce: ...buy I did find the Shakespeare Insult Kit :D

Re: Alas poor Cordelia
 

Rammy! How dare you hijack this thread, thou beslubbering unchin-snouted canker blossom!!
