This.
I don't read anything written by nigger and ESPECIALLY not a nigger woman.

>>12827408
Based, Jordan Peterson hardly ever mentions him

OP is a Shylock

Is this the end of zombie Shakespeare?

Spoken like a true philistine.

I'm convinced that Shakespeare is an Anglo litmus test of introjection. If you can pretend to like him then you can pretend to like anything.

>>12827909
makes sense

>>12827909
>>12828699
Shakespeare is a non-Anglo pleb filter. If you dislike Hamlet, you can dislike anything Anglo, regardless of quality.

I hate shakespeare so goddamn much

Alright, so what’s your critique of his work? Feel free to go in depth.

Why would everyone say this if it weren't true?

Also fuck Brecht, he was a half a fag.

>>12829151
Your critique of his work is babby’s first literary criticism (which ultimately amounts to: Lmao weird dialogue)? Did Tolstoy even speak English?

he's still even translated better than 99% of writers in their own fucking native language.

may as well claim that liking beethoven make you an NPC.

The disturbing revelation in criticizing Shakespeare is that the arguments - logorrhea, asynopsis, vulgarity, "humor" - apply to the Anglo in general. Shakespeare and Joyce are the same bumbling chav. Even Anglo "Philosophy" is nothing but quips holding together otherwise disparate rambles.

>>12829220
Ah okay. That is very disturbing

I'm not from an english speaking country, what is the thing with shakespeare, what makes him so great?

>>12829241
He invented some words or something

>>12829241
He invented the modern english language.

1000 words he made.
Basically half of modern english daily language words were invented by him.

you can google what words he invented like alone.

>>12829304
>1000 words = invented the modern english language

>>12829333
2000 words are like 98% of the language you need to have a normal life in an anglo country, so he invented 50% of modern english.

>>12829348
You can't be fucking serious. Just stop and think how absurd what you're saying is. Was he Tolkien writing plays in an artificial language to the public?

>>12829333
>>12829370
Nice reaction images you fucking annoying spazoid

>>12829370
It's considered that 98% of the daily language you speak are around 2k words.

Shakespeare was calculated to know around 25k words, which is a modern PHD literature professor level.

Which is impressive if you take into account It was written in the 16 century.

>Dr Jonathan Hope, a Reader in English in the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences, has found that, while Shakespeare may appear to have used and coined more words than his contemporaries, this could be attributed to the fact that more of his writing survives and his rate of word coinage is actually similar to other writers.

>"He was writing at a time when the English language's vocabulary was expanding rapidly but, while he had a rich vocabulary himself, it was on a par with other writers from the same time. Originality in language was not necessarily seen as a good thing in Shakespeare's time and he did not always use elaborate words with Latin roots- when he did, he often tended to follow them with an explanation in more straightforward English.

shut up nigger, anglos made their language mixing the bible and shakespeare.

the average anglo couldn't afford anything else than the bible and some shakespeare play he saw at the teather.

>>12829393
>It's considered that 98% of the daily language you speak are around 2k words.
The top 2000k words which are words like "the, you, I, to, me, want"

Did shakespeare invent those?

>>12829410
Yeah, but nobody uses phrases like "turning Turk" or "hanging the shingle," so I guess Shakespeare did it better

>>12829196
Doesn't explain shit, a letter adding to the already incorrect essay of tolstoy. Read the Orwell counter, and Bernard Shaw plays don't come close to Shakespeare
