    "Love is not love
    Which alters when it alteration finds,
    Or bends with the remover to remove:
    O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
    That looks on tempests and is never shaken..."

    :D I love that one... Especially the way that Marianne reads it. :)

    My favorite characters are Horatio from Hamlet. (One of my heroes)

    and Portia from The Merchant of Venice. :)

    I absolutely LOVE Shakespeare. I had read all of his plays by the time I was 16 and am savoring all of the sonnets. Trying to pick a Fovorite Shakespeare play is very hard. I suppose I would have to say The Taming Of the Shrew. I love Katherine's speech at the very end.

    My favorite character would have to be Portia from Merchant of Venice, Helena from A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Goneril from King Lear. They're all hard parts to play, and very interesting characters in themselves!

    "Nothing can be amiss when simpleness and duty tender it," from Midsummer Night's Dream has to be one of my favorites!
