its not " Oh where art thou" its "Wherefore art thou" and Juliets plaintive




had nothing to do with Romeo's location. "Wherefore" means "why", not "where"-------->

(in both senses “how come?” and “for that reason.”)

she was asking why the fates had made Romeo part of the Montague family, with which the Capulets ( her family ) were locked in deadly feud. :thumbs_up

furthermore i dont think its a good idea to address brothers in such a manner.

Best Shakespeare line ever = 'Is this a dagger I see before me?'

Macbeth rocks, yo!
 
Greetings,

Here's one of my favourite speeches in Shakespeare; Hamlet trapped in the mire of adolescent depression, talking to his student friends (note the use of "wherefore" in the first line):

Hamlet said:
I have of late - but wherefore I know not - lost all my mirth,
forgone all custom of exercise; and indeed it goes so heavily
with my disposition that this goodly frame, the
earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most
excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave
o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted
with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to
me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.
What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason!
how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how
express and admirable! in action how like an angel!
in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the
world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me,
what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not
me: no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling
you seem to say so.

P.S. People, people, people - let's remember that Shakespeare did not write in Old English. Old English (= Anglo-Saxon) fell out of use more than a century before Shakespeare was born. Shakespeare's way of using English is simply known as Shakespearean English.

Peace

"Shakespeare" spelled his name in many ways his fathers papers showed about 16 different spellings but the most common are Shakespeare, Shaxpere, and Shakespeare .

The funny thing is that they were not miss-spelt Shakespeare's name was spelled in many different ways during the Renaissance including most extreme i.e

"Shagspere", "Shexpere" and "Shaxberd"

Shakespeare himself spelled his name "Shakspere" or "Shakspeare", This was because "Elizabethan spelling" was very erratic by twentieth-century standards and at that time even the simpliest proper names were spelt differently. then some time into the 20th Century modern fixed spelling of ("Shakespeare") was considered to be the only correct way.

Another interesting fact is that Shakespeare invented many words, that we use today in eveyday life and one that is famously known is the word "assassination". ----> here are more words http://shakespeare.about.com/library/weekly/aa042400a.htm
 
Yes Far7an Masha Allah, you hit the nail on the head. However, Im guessing somewhere out there, someone said that once, and I am not the first to say it...

Brilliant!

3washey makes a good point about how Shakespeare and others used to spell his name - there were no fixed spellings for any English words, not only proper names. Eventually people decided there needed to be a standard spelling system if everyone was to understand each other, so dictionaries started to appear. Dr. Johnson's Dictionary (1755) is the most famous of the early dictionaries.

Akhee,

I, for one, don't diss slang. It's a huge part of English, and it's always the part of any language that changes the fastest. Some people find it the most interesting part of English, and enormous dictionaries of slang have been produced. Of course, they go out of date very quickly.

Also, there's a great deal of slang in Shakespeare. There's always a contrast between the language used by kings and nobles and that of ordinary people in his works. In fact, slang is one of the things that can make Shakespeare quite hard to understand, because slang always dates so quickly.

I think this is the main reason why people sometimes complain about slang in general - it can be difficult to understand or even read. There's nothing wrong with having an individual approach to language (that's frequently a mark of a good writer), but it can make it hard to know what is being said.

Peace

:sl:

what u studying in history sis? :D
 
:sl:


At the moment, I'm not attending school, so Alhamdulilah, I get to learn whatever subject I want to explore. However, I do have to say that history is incredible interersting subject compared to math. For me, Math and Science is like learning chinese and of course thats an extremely difficult thing. English wasn't so bad either. Liking or disliking a subject for me really depends on the person who is teaching it. I remember in grade ten I hated history because of my really racist history teacher but adored science because of my hilarious sicence teacher. But now that I am my own teacher, I have to say that 'school' is the best.

I guess Canadians or Americans would know of an institution called Al Maghrib. Well, I just took a course on Usool Al Fiqh and inshallah, I'll be preparing myself for the next course in November called CONQUEST. History of the Khulafaa. Anyone who's intersting in learning their deen, at home, should register for these courses. They're Amazing!
