/lit/ - Literature

What's your favourite Shakespeare line?

Mine is:

>The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more

Caesar:
"I am constant as the northern star,
Of whose true-fix'd and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament."

>There exists an endearingly passionate camp of Shakespeare nuts who simply cannot believe that the son of a glover from a podunk market town 100 miles out of London could have possibly written the sublime, genius plays attributed to him. He had no education, they argue, no aristocratic standing, no opportunities to mingle with the literati of his day.

>But what if he had some really, really choice weed?

>I need help with Macbeth, anybody ever write one before?
Sounds familiar, I believe I wrote a Macbeth once.

favorite tragedy and why

I'm gonna go with "Othello: The Moor of Venice", because it enforces the themes of how nobody can be trusted and that the enemy is always in plain sight... also, Iago, fucking Iago

does /lit/ like Shakespeare?

gotta give it to Othello, man. i have not known a more disturbing bastard than Iago
