If Shakespeare wrote in the modern dialect, he would be mediocre and a routinely found in community college writing groups all around the world.

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?

Macbeth the character was the edgelord. That's actually one of the points of the play. Still written better than most things before and after.

>> No.17528756

>>17528673
It's play. This is the belief of the character, not of Shakespeare. Lady Macbeth thinks very different, as does Hamlet, as does Othello, as does Titus, as does Gremio, as does Juliet, as does Titania, and so on and so forth.

Even Macbeth was more than an edgelord, since they lack eloquence even--or especially--when projecting as hard as he is at that late stage of failure.
