At the risk of upsetting my two favorite Fabbets..

Ive just returned from watching Macbeth...I'll never get those two hours back...

Is Shakespear getting away with it...or was it a great tale?

Plus...any favorite Shakesperian quotes?

He was a great individual and highly intelligent, ahead of his time, but I agree that most of his work would be considered boring today, that's to be expected after a few hundred years lol.

Thought it was a great film , really enjoyed it . As for quotes I could fill the forum as my brain seems to just hold useless information but I think maybe the one that best suits me at the moment is

" A black ram is tupping your white ewe "

My favourite Shakespear play is Henry V.

I attended a leadership course where Richard Olivier (son of lawrence- ops catch that name I dropped

) where he used Henry V as a central theme. I was totally amazed at this. I wondered how the fuck I never saw all this studying it for my O levels.

For Fab his most appropriate quote must be:-

"Once more into the breach, dear friends."

"'We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life, is rounded with a sleep'.....

He was a great individual and highly intelligent, ahead of his time, but I agree that most of his work would be considered boring today, that's to be expected after a few hundred years lol."

Risking to be bashed for the statement...there are reasonable arguments that the poet was illiterate. Which makes sense to me as there is not a single handwritten manuscript and the only handwritten evidence of him is a document at display in London tower....the calligraphy of his signature hints that his name was probably the only thing he was able to write.

The precise details of contemporary circumstances of e.g. feuds among Italian families (romeo and julia) the details of 16century gild and trade rules in Italy (merchant of venice) are matching the reality too exact as someone who never left England could ever have described it in such detail. Though it is not proven yet, but it is likely that a member of the English upper class, e.g a well travelled and educated diplomat or envoy of the English crown has used WS's freedom of an artist to make some for its time harsh political statements. Mind you that English as the general language was not even spoken in the upper class, French was the language of the Anglo Norman aristocracy till the end of the Tudor dynasty, Italian was the language of art....both require appropriate education

Huge Blackadder fan here. Lord Flashheart was the best. "She's got a tongue like an electric eel and likes the taste of a man's tonsils" not Shakespeare I know but come on....
