lol

The Merchant of Venice.

Especially:

Shylock: "...Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge! If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge! The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction."

Othello: "Excellent good."

Sonnet 18:

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

I find it funny

If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

- Merchant of Venice, heard when watching The Pianist and ogling Ed Stoppard.

I loved Merchant of Venice. But as for favourite Shakespeare quote - we're doing Othello right now, and naturally, everyone seems to like the "black ram tupping your white ewe" quote.

 

[thatsmystapler]

These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume

- from Romeo and Juliet

 

[phosphorescent]

I love All the World's A Stage.

Perhaps my favourite bit from it would be -
'... Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.'

midsummer night's dream- gaiman style.

Othello:

" Black ram tapping white yew"

lol

that's my one.

 

[Riet]

"Despair thy charm,
And let the angel whom thou still hast served
Tell thee, Macduff was from his mother's womb
Untimely ripped."

Macbeth is my favourite play by far.

 

[SiN3m]

lol noooo
that's my one.

mine too!!

Sonnet 149
Canst thou, O cruel, say I love thee not,
When I against myself with thee partake?
Do I not think on thee, when I forgot
Am of myself, all, tyrant, for thy sake?
Who hateth thee that I do call my friend?
On whom frown'st thou that I do fawn upon?
Nay, if thou lour'st on me, do I not spend
Revenge upon myself with present moan?
What merit do I in myself respect,
That is so proud thy service to despise,
When all my best doth worship thy defect,
Commanded by the motion of thine eyes?
But, love, hate on, for now I know thy mind;
Those that can see thou lov'st, and I am blind
and

SONNET 130
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare

 

[4unitfreak]

Macbeth by far. I love it.

An old black ram is tupping your white ewe

Othello

[what a dilemma!]

I'm all for the Shylock quote posted earlier "hath not a Jew eyes.."

I fell in love with Romeo and Juliet. Reading it, not watching it because it always gets edited.

But soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
it is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon
who is already sick and pale with grief
that thou, her maid, art far more fair than she!

Oh, I have an ill-divining soul
Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low
as one laid in the bottom of a tomb

the sonnet between the two tragic heroes...
If I profane...

and, of course, the prologue.
two houses, both alike in dignity...

I'm all for: 'oh! I am slain' and variations, which appear in several plays

I have to say i like Othello best (of the ones i've read) because Iago is just so wonderfully evil. Shame it all fell apart in the end...

Hows about "die, die, die" from a midsummer night's dream"?
