>>19103693
Well, Americans think Donald Trump is a literary genius.

>>19103693
Did you have to read this for highschool, faggot? I remember finding this mildly amusing when I was like 15, but it's obvious "egg" is about being a "tyke" or "sirrah"

eggcelent prose

>>19103725
no, the egg refers to the boy being a child in a chapter full of bird allusions
even I know this
t. ESL OP, 15 years out of high school where we only read Tolstoy and Dostoevsky

>>19103693
I don't understand what the problem is

>>19103710
well, his autobiography was ghostwritten by some jew

>>19103985
Donald has all that money, he paid for the best!

OP is a saucy fellow. A naughty, naughty knave.

Is your problem the child exclaiming his death? That's par for the course in a medieval play, they didn't have much in the way of practical effects so they has to exclaim such things for the audience

>>19104009
yes and he's also called a fucking egg

>>19104017
And the problem with that? Egg=child, there is no logical inconsistency there. Most audiences familiar with the language simply wouldn't care

>>19104017
Problem, donut?

>>19104017
he was a tranny in the making, old will was pretty progressive for his time

>>19104017
Dumb cabbage

You fackin egg
are you avin a scramble mate?

>>19104046
is there a chance the heroes of the time of Macbeth had this sort of accent?

Shakespeare is overrated garbage that we have to pretend he is hot shit because everyone says so. He was the equivalent of a jew writting scripts for hollywood writter in the XVI century, so it is not surprising that his work is vapid and mundane.

>>19103693
That entire part with Macbeth's son was fucking hysterical. He comes out of nowhere for one scene and all he does is calls his mother a stupid whore and insults his assassin as he's being stabbed.

>>19104874
Yeah anon, everyone secretly agress with you, we're just all lying to ourselves

>>19103693
>"he has killed me!"
>dies

>>19104046
lmao

>YOU HAVE TO REWATCH BREAKING BAD AGAIN.
>IT IS SO DEEP!
That's Sheakespeare but with 400 years of fedora tipping behind. If you removed Macbeth and someone wrote it in the current year it wouldn't even get published

Prove it, you can't. All this is is meaningless posturing because you want to feel secure in your position, nothing more

Back to english class jimmy, you're essays due today

>>19106272

>>19103693
What?! You egg!

>>19103693
>reminded of Wayne Rooneys tweets.

>>19104188
I heard at some point that current generic-American accent is what the English used to sound like, although I don't know what period in England that was referring to.

Different Version:

First Murderer
What, you egg!
Stabbing him

Young fry of treachery!
Son
He has kill'd me, mother:
Run away, I pray you!
Dies

Exit LADY MACDUFF, crying 'Murder!' Exeunt Murderers, following her

>>19103693
All my pretty ones?
Did you say all? O hell-kite! All?
What, all my pretty chickens and their dam
At one fell swoop?
MALCOLM
Dispute it like a man.
MACDUFF
I shall do so;
But I must also feel it as a man:
I cannot but remember such things were,
That were most precious to me. Did heaven look on,
And would not take their part? Sinful Macduff,
They were all struck for thee! naught that I am,
Not for their own demerits, but for mine,
Fell slaughter on their souls. Heaven rest them now!
MALCOLM
Be this the whetstone of your sword: let grief
Convert to anger; blunt not the heart, enrage it.
MACDUFF
O, I could play the woman with mine eyes
And braggart with my tongue! But, gentle heavens,
Cut short all intermission; front to front
Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself;
Within my sword's length set him; if he 'scape,
Heaven forgive him too!
MALCOLM
This tune goes manly.
Come, go we to the king; our power is ready;
Our lack is nothing but our leave; Macbeth
Is ripe for shaking, and the powers above
Put on their instruments. Receive what cheer you may:
The night is long that never finds the day.

I am slain
