I feel Shakespeare is like Mozart. Like his ideas are so pervasive in literature, direct quotations and adaptations are ubiquitous. It feels like its very difficult to appreciate Shakespeare objectively. Is this just me or do you think I have a point?

How are you going to trigger /tv/ on the literature board? I'm almost certain, the only /tv/ crossboarders we get are the ones who hang around for the cunnybot threads.

Is anyone here dumb like me and doesn't know when to use a semi-colon?

I agree that is the worst you can do. Its just that I used to get caught in a trap where the cconversation would go something like this

>no pain is good
>absence of pleasure is not bad
>hey wait a second, why not?
>because you cannot deprive a nonentity
>you can't spare a nonentity either
>draw a blank

Now I speak in terms of a single potential entity which as it does not exist is automatically spared and obviously cannot be deprived until it first comes into existence.

I like the one that has The Tempest in it. Some are more partial to the Othello one and I can see why. Of course the King Lear one isn't bad either.
