I Hate Shakespeare

So Should You

This site is designed to help students write Anti-Shakespeare Five Paragraph Essays

Essays live and die by the Thesis Statement

Let's Make a Good One

Generally if a thesis statement says "I hate Shakespeare because he sucks," then the student will get a FAILING grade.

It is easier to let Shakespeare hang himself. He is very willing. The student must take the play or plays that have been read in class, dissect his work and reveal its gutless nature. Notice I don't expect anyone to have actually survived a live performance.

I will use a few commonly used plays to develop thesis statements and the needed supporting evidence. So let's use Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and Hamlet. These are easy targets, but the ideas will work with any of his trash.

Why I Hate Him

He is not funny
He is a Royalist
He is superstitious
He hates common people
He knows nothing about love
He is boring
Hamlet is a fool
OK if you want to email me at this site. Don't waste your time telling me how great Shakespeare is. Tell me how to correct spelling. I know that I have dangling things. If you have a good "I hate Shakespeare" point let me know and I will try to include it.

Remember, we must all wage war against the Shakespeare conspiracy.

OK, OK, you might need to get some information about poor old Bill. So here are some links that might help you find stuff that I have no interest in knowing.
This is Project Gutenberg, which is the place to find almost any text.
Here is a site that claims to have The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.
This is a site about Shakespeare's Globe
Where would we be without the Folger Shakespeare Library
I am not sure what they do to the text at the Internet Shakespeare Editions
To find out about people that actually do Shakespeare on stage go to the Royal Shakespeare Company
If you need anymore than those link, then you are on your own.
