Tolkien goes Shakespeare

[Brinniel]

Alright, we all know a bit about Shakespeare's works. So why not combine them with Tolkien's?

This thread is for anything that has to do with combining Shakespeare and Tolkien. You can compare/contrast their works. You may put characters from LOTR into one of Shakespeare's plays or vice versa and make up dialogue for it.

Here are some ideas you might want to use:

Romeo & Juliet: Aragorn & Arwen (this one's easy)

Twelth Night: Instead of Viola and Sebastian, how about Eowyn and Eomer are separated in a shipwreck? Eowyn disguises herself as a boy and so on.....

Hamlet: Who do you think would make that famous monalogue?

King Lear: Doesn't King Lear remind you of Denethor? (the little madness part rings a bell)

A Midsummer Night's Dream: I haven't read or seen this play myself, but being told the plot, I think it could work for something.

You may also use one of Shakespeare's sonnets and discuss its relation to ME or write a parody on it. Just make sure you copy that sonnet down. And if you write a parody, don't forget the rules of writing a sonnet!
