I have read several classic and contemporary plays, including Shakespeare's "Hamlet," Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," and Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire." I've also seen performances of "The Lion King," "Hamilton," and "Waiting for Godot." Each experience has enriched my understanding of character development and thematic depth in theater. The live performances, in particular, brought the scripts to life in ways that reading alone could not convey.

How is reading poetry and seeing poetry performed different?
When you read poetry to yourself or aloud, you hear only your voice. Hearing someone else perform the same poetry, it has a different life to it because the voice is different. For example, if a line is "I love you," you may read it as a soft whisper, but another may read it with loud passion. It all depends on voice, tone, and interpretation.
How is bad temper the vice of the virtuous?
I would go back to what I read way back in my childhood, when talking of temper, we were told that it is 0recious and don't close it. Evidently it's something virtuous but seen as a vice. Granting it is a vice, why it is seen as such among the virtuous. I have seen many a virtuous person with this vice. They are people who despise treachery and injustice and show up through their temper. It's a welcome virtue.
What was shakesspear's last play?
Shakespeare's plays were usually written just before they were to be performed, therefore there is never an actual 'date' in the history books. Also there is much debate on this question, however most scholars will say that Henry the VIII or Two Noble Kinsmen were his last plays (1613-1614). However since they are both widely considered collaboration plays, the last play that is attributed to Shakespeare is The Tempest (1611).

Were all William Shakespeare's plays acted out?
Yes. His plays were primarily intended to be acted, not read. Although we do not have particularly extensive performance records of the plays, it is clear that all of the plays were performed before they were printed. The printed copies often said which playing companies had performed them. This remains true of playscripts to this day. Because there are fewer records than we would like to see, there are no records of performances of some of the plays during Shakespeare's lifetime. However, even if there were a play that was not performed then, it has certainly been performed since.
Why have shakespeare's plays been performed after his death?
One of the great advantage of the concept of writing, developed about 5000 years ago, is that you can still read and use the words of someone who is dead. Thus you can still read Jane Austen's novels long after Jane has died. Shakespeare does not have to be alive for you to perform his plays because they were written down.Shakespeare's plays were not performed in order to make Shakespeare happy. People did not say in 1616, "Thank heavens Shakespeare is dead so we don't have to perform his plays any more." On the contrary, they performed and continue to perform Shakespeare's plays because they are the best plays ever written in the English language. Shakespeare's death did not change that.
