William Shakespeare

Well, honey, Friar Laurence is in a cell because he messed with the wrong crowd. He got himself mixed up in Romeo and Juliet's drama, trying to play matchmaker and botching it big time. Now he's stuck behind bars, probably regretting ever getting involved in the first place.

He left the wedding ceremony between Romeo and Juliet out because nothing interesting happens at it, and watching it would not help the audience understand any better that they were married. He also leaves the wedding ceremony out of The Taming of the Shrew, although he describes it. This may have been because of Petruchio's swearing in church, which might have been hard to get by the censors. On the other hand, he included the wedding ceremony between Hero and Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing which is extremely dramatic and ends with Hero shamed and left at the altar. He kept the wedding scene in As You Like It because it is there that the reveal of who "Ganymede" really is takes place. On the other hand, the weddings in Midsummer Night's Dream are not portrayed, although the entertainment after and the departure of the couples to their marriage beds is. The wedding between Olivia and Sebastian in Twelfth Night is likewise not portrayed because nothing dramatic happens at it.

Generally, Shakespeare did not portray weddings unless there was something of overriding dramtic importance which happens at the wedding. They are not interesting enough.

In Shakespeare's Sonnet 130, the line "And in some perfumes is there more delight / Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks" refers to the idea that his mistress does not conform to traditional standards of beauty. The phrase "made to his mistress eyebrow" likely means that his mistress does not need to rely on artificial enhancements such as makeup to be attractive. Shakespeare is emphasizing the natural beauty and authenticity of his mistress.

In Romeo and Juliet, the line "Neither fair maid if either thee dislike" is spoken by Romeo in Act 2, Scene 2. This line essentially means that if one of the two lovers, Romeo or Juliet, is unhappy with their love, then they are not truly in love. It emphasizes the idea that true love must be mutual and accepted by both parties. Romeo is expressing his commitment to Juliet and his desire for their love to be reciprocated.

In the play "The Exam" by Andy Hamilton, the main characters are the students who are taking the exam. These students are faced with a challenging and high-pressure situation as they navigate the exam and its consequences. The play may also feature a teacher or proctor overseeing the exam, as well as potentially other supporting characters such as classmates or family members who may play a role in the students' experiences during the exam.

Honey, Shakespeare has been dead for over 400 years, so unless he's been ghostwriting from beyond the grave, his works are in the public domain. You can quote "To be or not to be" to your heart's content without worrying about getting sued. Just don't go around claiming you wrote it, darling.

Romeo and Juliet are characters in a play. They look like whichever actor and actress plays them. They have whatever hair colour the actors have unless the director tells them to dye their hair or wear a wig. Shakespeare did not stipulate what colour their hair was.

If Aishwarya Rai played Juliet, she would have black hair. If Marilyn Monroe played her she would be blonde.

Oh, dude, that quote basically means if you're not actually showing love, then you're not really loving. It's like saying, "Actions speak louder than words," but in a fancy, old-timey way. So, like, if you're not putting in the effort to show your love, then what's the point, right?

It is difficult to determine the exact number of actresses who performed in William Shakespeare's plays during his time, as women were not allowed to act on stage in Elizabethan England. Female roles were typically played by young boys or men. In modern times, actresses have taken on these roles in Shakespearean productions. The number of actresses who have performed in Shakespeare's plays since then is vast and continues to grow with each new production worldwide.

Thomas Moore's poem "The Fire Worshippers" (1817) contains the line "Oh! Ever thus from childhood's hour" and parodies of this poem, such as in Charles Dickens' "The Old Curiosity Shop' often instead used `twas ever thus' as did Charles Stuart Calverley's "Disaster". Though William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (1601-02) contains some similar lines, none are close enough to deem it the origin of the phrase.

A sonnet typically has 14 lines, so if you want to get technical, it usually contains around 140-160 words. But hey, who's counting when you're crafting beautiful poetry? Just make sure you nail those rhymes and rhythms, honey.

Brown Or Green. Possibly blue. Let's face it--there are no certain contemporary coloured images of Shakespeare. The best one, the Chandos, as well as the Sanders suggest that his eyes were dark.

Well, isn't that just a happy little mystery? You see, back in William Shakespeare's time, it was quite common for children to take their father's first name as their last name. So, his daughters were named Susanna and Judith Shakespeare, following this tradition. Just like how we add happy little trees to our paintings, each family has its own unique way of passing down names.

Well, honey, that Shakespeare quote is basically saying that people are acting like wild animals and have lost their dang minds. It's a poetic way of calling out humanity for being a hot mess and making questionable decisions. So, in a nutshell, it's Shakespeare throwing some shade at our lack of common sense.

In Shakespeare's play "Othello," the question of whether Othello still loves Desdemona is complex and open to interpretation. Othello's feelings towards Desdemona evolve throughout the play, influenced by jealousy, manipulation, and his own insecurities. Ultimately, Othello's love for Desdemona is overshadowed by his doubts and suspicions, leading to tragic consequences.

Oh, dude, you're talking about "All's Well That Ends Well." Yeah, Shakespeare was all about those catchy titles that double as proverbs. It's like killing two birds with one stone, you know? So next time you're looking for some wisdom and a good play to read, just remember, all's well that ends well.

In Shakespearean language, "e'ev" is a contraction for "even." It is used to shorten the word for poetic or rhythmic purposes. Shakespeare often employed contractions to maintain the meter and flow of his verse, as well as to fit his lines within the structure of iambic pentameter. The use of contractions like "e'ev" also adds a sense of informality or colloquialism to the dialogue, reflecting the natural cadence of spoken language.

Shakespeare's language is English. In English, "your welcome" means "the welcome that belongs to you", as in this quotation from Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors: "I hold your dainties cheap, sir, and your welcome dear." Clearly he thinks that the person's welcome is valuable but his dainties are not.

Of course, you may have meant "you're welcome" which means that you are welcome (to whatever you are thanking me for). An example of this is from Shakespeare's Cymbeline: "Send your trunk to me; it shall safe be kept,

And truly yielded you. You're very welcome."

Oh, dude, Shakespeare wrote that line in his play "Julius Caesar," Act 2, Scene 1. So like, around the early 1600s. But hey, who really knows what was going on in that guy's head, right? I mean, he could've been writing about his grocery list for all we know.

Macbeth says this in Act V Scene 5 immediately before saying "Blow winds! Come wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back." Basically, Macbeth is tired of living. He is tired of waking up in the morning and seeing the sun. The world could go hang for all he cares. As his next line shows, he has nothing to look forward to except dying, so at least he will die fighting.

Romeo describes Rosalind as the moon in Act 2, Scene 2 of William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." In this famous balcony scene, Romeo compares Rosalind's beauty to the moon, saying "It is the east, and Rosalind is the sun." This metaphor emphasizes Rosalind's radiant beauty and highlights Romeo's infatuation with her. The moon symbolizes Rosalind's purity and ethereal presence in Romeo's eyes.

Ah, what a lovely quote from Shakespeare! It reminds us to be cautious and aware, especially during times of brightness and positivity, as challenges may still arise unexpectedly. Just like when painting a beautiful landscape, we must stay mindful and prepared for any obstacles that may come our way on our journey. Remember, with a steady hand and a watchful eye, we can navigate through any shadows that may cross our path.

The sixth age is the lean and slipper'd Pantaloon, an elderly man who is well past his best. He is called Pantaloon after the foolish old man in the Commedia dell'Arte. As people age, they sometimes grow fat, and sometimes grow thin, and this man, since he is "lean", is one of those that grows thin. He used to have strong and muscular arms and legs but no longer--his "shank", which is to say his leg, is "shrunk". Hose is like long stockings, sometimes as long as to come up to the thigh. This man has saved his "youthful hose", the stockings he wore when he was a young man, because he is a prudent man. In those days, clothes lasted much longer than they do now because they were made to last and were expensive so people kept mending them to make them last even longer. So he has kept a pair of stockings he had when he was in his twenties which don't fit him anymore now that he is in his sixties or seventies because his legs are smaller. The stockings are way too wide, a world too wide for his shrunk shank, his smaller and withered legs.

It means that once you've achieved your end, gotten what you want, that you realize there was more enjoyment and excitement in the act of achieving or gaining, than there ever can be in the possession.

Oh, dude, so like, Juliet thinks Gnomeo is dead because she sees his hat in the garden with like, a big crack in it. And she's all dramatic, like, "Oh no, my love is gone!" But, like, little does she know, Gnomeo is totally fine and just pulling a prank on her. Classic Gnomeo, am I right?
