Antony and Cleopatra…urrghh! what a struggle to finish it.

Antony and Cleopatra is one of the playwrights that we, B.Ed students have to learn this semester. When I think of the play written by Shakespeare for the first time, I told myself that I am going to die and suffer learning it. The language presented by Shakespeare appeared very difficult to me. Yeah.. I know that I am going to a teacher, and Shakespeare should be one of my favourite authors. But I just can’t lie to myself! It is so damn hard and depressing. When I said to my father, this play is so hard to understand, and he just said I have to read it several times to make sure that I have deeper understanding about it. I was so miserable. This is because in order for me to finish it for the first time also is in a way living in hell, what about reading it for several times. Durhh.. What he knows about Shakespeare. It is so difficult. Even though there are foot notes below for every page, I still have difficulties in reading it.
