Was Shakespeare Gay?

[Seedler]

Oh I get it Seedler , were doing your homework ? To put a different spin on one of Shakespeare's plays think of your friends and try to relate to Macbeth . You know ,Ross has stolen your girl "B J" and you plot to discredit him and her and will stop at nothing ?

That fugger?

Oh here's another one.

Me and Smith suckup to Rossyco, telling him that "We love him more than words can wield the matter", and our flattery enables him to give up admin privileges, while banning JP and crabgirl when they try to reason with him and reveal our treachery.

Then he expects honour and respect from me, and occupies my server with brokeback movies. I tell him to fuck off, but he gets pished and tells me that I'm a gay f4ggot. Then he goes off to Smith's side of teh forums, and same shit owns him there.

Shortly after, Crabgirl gets mad h4x from manker and try to h4xz0rs my server, but was pwned by my l33t firewallz. Thus, Crabbiegal and Ross are contained in my virus vault.

Then Reality, who was illegitimately conceived by moss, deletes crabbiegal in my virus vault, while ross is overcome by grief and die of overheating as he takes off his CPU heatsink.

At the same time, I grow envious of Smith's crazy empty space, and puts horse pr0n on his comp, and he gets wtfowned by his mom, eternally banning him from interweb usage.

Something like that.

Sorry guys did n't mean to sound like a know it all

No need to apologise.

Your wrong friend , as his plays can be related to the here and now so easily .

Dramatic Irony, his tragedies with hubris etc etc are fucking obvious from the first page, therefore the plot predictable, uninteresting, and did I mention wrapped in needless flowery and fucking confusing language?

.

So true. It's why his writing is still read hundreds of years later and why he's one of the best known playwrights known to man.

Your right hon , before his time . Probably a closet homo tho as his thinking was probably not shared by the working stiffs .


Did he every write under a synonym ? Can you image the pressures he must of had at the time ? Lesbian tendencies not with out standing .

Nada. He didn't even write the plays himself

[Skweeky]

I love arts and literature
Never quite got into Shakespeare though

My guess is that he wasn't very literate at all and invented all these new words to make it look like he was

[Sextent]

To question Shakespeare's value to English literature is to suggest that Newton knew fuck all about physics.

Do you know how much of modern literature owes it's existence to Shakespeare. How he re-invented the language and how we use it. The words and forms he created. Now I fully accept that reading his PLAYS (you're supposed to see them performed, would you read the script to your favourite film, no you would steal it from the internet) may be of no particular interest to someone who is heading for life as a fast food retailer. However that does not mean they are of no value.

This list of words that we use in our daily speech were all brought into usage by Shakespeare:

accommodation

aerial

amazement

apostrophe

assassination

auspicious

baseless

bloody

bump

castigate

changeful

clangor

control (noun)

countless

courtship

critic

critical

dexterously

dishearten

dislocate

dwindle

eventful

exposure

fitful

frugal

generous




gloomy

gnarled

hurry

impartial

inauspicious

indistinguishable

invulnerable

lapse

laughable

lonely

majestic

misplaced

monumental

multitudinous

obscene

palmy

perusal

pious

premeditated

radiance

reliance

road

sanctimonious

seamy

sportive

submerge

suspicious

As if the above words were not enough, Shakespeare also put common words together to make up new phrases:

barefaced

fancy-free

catch a cold

disgraceful conduct

elbowroom

fair play

green eyed monster

heartsick

hot-blooded

housekeeping

lackluster

leapfrog

long-haired

pitched battle

clothes make the man

method in his madness

to thine own self be true

towering passion

ministering angel

dog will have his day

frailty, thy name is woman

neither a borrower nor a lender be

brevity is the soul of wit

mind's eye

primrose path




flaming youth

it smells to heaven

the lady doth protest too much

witching time of the night

it's Greek to me

live long day

breathe one's last

heart of gold

give the devil his due

too much of a good thing

naked truth

foregone conclusion

break the ice

strange bedfellows

wear one's heart on one's sleeve

all that glitters isn't gold

eat out of house and home

be all and end all

more sinned against than sinning

one fell swoop

the milk of human kindness

the course of true love never did run smooth

He is without doubt the most influential writer the English language has ever known.

That doesn't aid in the slightest bit, regarding the part of him being GHEY

Let's just pretend that he in fact, wrote the plays and made up the words. Still quite useless, as language evolves and other phrases + words would have been invented in place of them. Heck, just-play means the same basic fucking shit as fair-play, makes perfect sense to anybody who's got some sense.

I think it's important that you bear in mind that you are an idiot.

As evidence of this I cite the above.

Rofls, when you can't come up with something mildly amazing to say, what do you do? Make one-word affronts. Oh you got me good. Nothing shames me more than this.

As I've been reduced to your level, so here it goes:
You homo-loving cuntshit. Stfukthnx.
