@drwhatson, As a substitute teacher, I often find myself covering high school lit courses without any lesson plan left by the regular teacher. In those circumstances, I occasionally demonstrate the earthiness of Elizabethan culture by having the kids break out Romeo and Juliet and letting them in on all the off-color jokes. They especially love finding out the innuendo behind Tybalt's name.

@FactualTruthProvider Yeah, if by Dante, you mean Dante Gabriel Rossetti.

@drwhatson, I didn't know Shaw was vegetarian. Leonardo da Vinci was, too. He said, "a man's body should not be a tomb for other animals."
-
@EyeLean5280 Both masters of the eternally evolving English language. Shaw had some influence on my becoming vegetarian I think after I read Hesketh Pearson's biography of Shaw many years ago.
-
@drwhatson, Doesn't surprise me. Generally, I found Shaw's essay to be a bit too ideological but it was very interesting nonetheless. He made great observations that had never occurred to me before.
Still, I see Shakespeare as a perfect mirror for his time and place.

...not to mention the many commonly used sexual metaphors that Shakespeare invented! ;-)

I LOVE KENNETH BRANAGH. He is a big reason why I am as in love with the Bard as I am now.
