In almost every cases novel to film translation lack the poetic beauty of the novel. i think novel to drama translation is better than novel to film translation since drama can retain the charm of the novel.

That’s a good point too, you can borrow and then buy if the book is good. I’ve done that before. It eliminates the risk of ending up buying a book you don’t really like… but on the other hand, without the risk, where’s the thrill?

A lot of people don’t like Shakespeare. Some seem to think it’s because the language makes no sense, or they just don’t get them.
I believe that it’s really the fault of teachers who can’t teach well, and they foster a hatred towards Shakespeare and his works. If you could just watch the plays and have fun, it wouldn’t be a problem for anybody. But since they force you to take tests and write essays on stuff, especially if it’s not taught well, people begin to dislike this stuff.
I mean, some of Shakespeare’s plays aren’t top notch and can be a bit boring compared to modern stuff if you don’t know all the words and don’t like certain plots. But there’s so much variety and depth, you can easily find something you like if you just try.

Great to hear that I’m not the only one who thinks that way. A lot of people just watch the movie though and don’t bother with the book.. it’s a bit long, true, but it’s a good book.
