Shakespeare

Any one ever read The Merchant of Venice..

Worth a read even if it's only for one of it's fabulous characters, Slylock, the antagonistic Jewish money lender.


'Hell is empty and all the devils are here.'


A cruce salus

 

I don't like the flow of Shakepeare find it difficult to read.

 

I had to read all of the comedies. Never laughed once. Prefer Chaucer.

 

What a load of ****.

 

Love the St Crispin's day speech from Heney V ... reminds me of going to Millwall in the cup in the early 1980s

 

Shakespeare's stories are gash.
He invented a lot of words that are know used in modern language, but other than that, I find his stories dull as ****.

 

Apparently Shakespeare copied others works and passed them as his own

A google cut and paste like someone we know

 

Hamlet and Othello dull ... a modern interpretation could be raunchier than Basic Instinct .... indeed, Game Of Thrones has many Shalespearian echoes

 

Marlowe for one

 

Shakespeare was a ****ing ****y *****.

 

I am sure it has.
I am sure a lot of 70's rock music had inspirations from people like Elvis (who, imo, is utter ****e).

I am willing to acknowledge the contributions that these precursors to greatness made in advancing their respective fields, but I dont find them entertaining in the least.

For example, go back and play the First Grand Theft Auto game.......yuck

 

Elvis ****e ... you will likely be condemned to rot for what will feel like an eternity in the 9 circles of Hell.. or as they are known collectively ... Milton Keynes

 

Probably. He just doesnt do it for me musically, his voice is mediocre and easily imitated and his guitar playing, by all accounts was hardly expert level, he was just a good looking dude who was the first one to thrust his pelvis on TV and make the girls cream their knickers.

Not a big Beatles fan either.

Now the Rolling Stones.....they were a ****ing awesome band.

 

The Beatles gave reject songs to the Stones.

 

What light through yonder window shines

**** off its your bedroom window, electricity hasn't been invented, its not the ****ing candle, its the sun, you lazy bastard

 

They gave the Stones 1 song.
Which was the Stones second ever single.

 

I flick my thumb at thee sir

Did yer aye? You spic **** heres how we do it (kicks him in bollox)

 

ERM im quoting Shakespeare on a thread about Shakespeare get this stones and Beatles ****e outta here

@brb sort em out mate

 

It was very charitable of them.

The Stones are good but they’ve also churned out some absolute ****e over the years. They should have knocked it on the head decades ago.

Personally I don’t get how anyone can not rate The Beatles but it’s all down to personal taste.
