The Elevens love him anyway.

fixd

>>708730

WOOSH, right over his head.

I haven't been paying attention to Walfas in months, but you deserve a sage anyways for implying that Hamlet is anything but awesome.

>>708735

It's her little version of it, not the actual thing.

I agree, Shakespeare is shit.

>>708736
There's something wrong with you, lad.

The only fault I see is that you can do a mockery of any story so it's hardly original.

I like idea with Hamlet. Srsly why not? This is not toho-only site.

>>708741
Yeah, it's called not being pretentious.

>>708746

Speak English first fucktard.

>>708758
no

>>708741
Hes overrated. Hes boring. It's easier to read VNs with ATLAS translations then read original Shakespeare.

>>708778

>Croatia

oh you

>>708778

They forced you to read Shakespeare in school, didn't they?

>>708778
>Croatia
Obviously your English needs work.

>>708778

Annoying to read and overrated maybe, but awesome tragedies are awesome. I hate the fuck out of Early Modern English and prose, though.

>>708787
I can't speak for AoC but I feel the same way. why the fuck would you want to read that boring shit when you have Tolstoy and Hemmingway? What's the matter? Too deep for high school?

>>708778
Don't blame Shakespeare for your lack of an education. Anyway, even if don't understand any of the shit he's saying, his writing can still be appreciated for its lyricism. And no, don't you dare tell me "I HAZ EDUCACION BUD TAST IZ SUBJECTIVE" you fucking tasteless faggot.

>>708800
If you prefer Shakespeare above Tolstoy maybe you're the one with shit taste.

>>708807
Was I replying to you? No? Well shut the fuck up then.

>>708796
To get to know the classics better and later make the connection to modern dramas and see how they evolved over the ages. That would be one point.

>>708796

Yes, it is too deep for high school. But still if i compare other stuff that i had to read in school with Shakespeare's books, then Hamlet and Makbeth were best one. Fuck you polish education system, fuck you.

>>708787
Yes. Except it was in Croatian. And fuck i didnt enjoy 1 second of that shit. Theres better plots in Games Animu Mango and VNs...
Like all artists that lived long ago hes overrated today. I read Shakespeare I'm so smart and intelligent and so culturally developed and what not...I'll leave reading about shitty century old kings and romances to faggots like you. Go read your OH SO GOOD book.

walfas? yeah, he sucks

Shakespeare is the equivalent of whatever popular series is on television right on.

>>708820

Code Geass?

>>708823
He's more like Naruto and Bleach. It's shonen for the culturally developed and educated.

Comparing Shakespeare and Hemingway is analogous to comparing Chopin and the Ramones. If you want to talk about writers that are actually comparable, talk about Nabokov. Writers like Hemingway completely ignore half of what makes literature artistic, namely the lyricism of prose.

>>708823

>>708818

oh wow

>>708725 Walfas is seriously losing it's touch?
Walfas never had a "touch", it was always shit.

>>708834

oh wow

>>708828
Writing doesn't necessarily require lyricism. Hemingway, in fact, abhorred being overly elaborate and frilly, so he adopted an extremely concise style that told what was going on without a lot of adjectives.

>>708820
You lost me there. Do you mean 'was the equivalent'?

Who the fuck trolls Shakespeare?

>>708828
...wow an intelligent response. I don't know how I should feel just now.

>>708846

Communists

>>708844
Which is why I love him.

>>708846
Anonymous.

>>708844

Hemingway was a dick.

>>708867

>>708867
>Which is why I love him.

>>708867

>>708844
You're right. Writing doesn't require lyricism, just as the Ramones don't require harmony, rhythm, or variation to call their shit music. But it's still shit, and I can still say that Chopin is better.

>>708867
Doesn't keep his style from being any less awesome.

>>708879

I know, I just really dislike him as a person.

Wait. I'm getting the feeling Anon does something else except play games and read mango/doujins/vn/animu. So Anon reads Books in his basement too...

>>708867

>>708890

You bet your fucking ass I do. You should too, you cultureless fuck.

>>708876
You're on a losing side here. There are plenty of famous musicians who omit certain parts of those.

Mendelsson's "Song without Words" has no lyrical melody...but he was extremely famous in his time along with Chopin. Yes, Chopin. The guy you just mentioned.

>>708912

I like it.

>>708890
I sometimes do, but refrain to talk about it. Its mostly due to the fact that talking about books/music always ends up being a flamewar among elitist pricks.

Also, THERE IS A TEXT BOARD FOR THIS SHIT. GO THERE.

>>708894
But VNs are better than books, why would I do that?

>>708920
Even though I know you're trolling, my rage kicked up for a second because thats the way the kids I teach think

>>708917

Yes, that is why I hate this shit. I don't know how literary elitists manage to be so much worse than animu elitists, but holy shit they are like five tiers above them. Let's go back to talking about how shitty Type-Moon is compared to (something untranslated).

>>708894
Didnt say i dont read them... i just hate happen to hate Shakespeare.

>>708876
Gonna have to disagree with you there. I agree with the Hemingway critique, especially since he goes out of his way to eschew elements commonly used in classic lyrical prose that is considered art.

But now you're walking into a slippery slope of assigning values. Something that best be avoided unless you really want to listen to 100 Chopin clones.

Didnt say i dont read them... i just happen to hate Shakespeare.

>>708930
That's what I was going to say. How is the "lyricism of prose" equal to melody in a song? They're totally different mediums.

>>708923
I raged a little, too.

>>708931

>>708939

>>708941

Serious discussion is serious.

>>708947
Its nice to have one every now and then. Too much toho will rot your brain.

>>708945

OH SHI-

>>708955
I'm probably gonna give Hamlet another try now, thanks to this thread. It's been about 14 years but what the hell.

>>708951
I never read/watched/played this.

Whats up with the star thing anyway

>>708969

Good for you then.

>>708969
Long story short. Ghosts, memories and bawww. Also KeyAIDS.

>>708969
Star has diabetus it's a really sad story...

some of his stuff is amusing. give him a break, it's not like he wants to be the most popular person in the touhou community or something stupid and pointless like that

>>708982

Like Hamlet lol.

>>708947
What's the matter? Too HARD to take seriously when it's sandwiched between a porn game thread and a thread full of ugly, cross-dressing cosplayers dressed as their favorite shootan' game character?
