Post godtier Shakespeare. I'll start.
>You know your mother means to feast with me, And calls herself Revenge, and thinks me mad: Hark, villains! I will grind your bones to dust And with your blood and it I'll make a paste, And of the paste a coffin I will rear And make two pasties of your shameful heads, And bid that strumpet, your unhallow'd dam, Like to the earth swallow her own increase. This is the feast that I have bid her to,

I'm sorry you were forced to read the Taming of the Shrew in hig school and now you're bitter.

If you are going to reproduce verse in long form it is customary to use a double backlash (??) to indicate the line break.

Great passage, great adaptation. Unfortunate delivery on this actor's part, though.

To be or not to be is the question.

That's pretty much universally recognized as Shakespeare's worst play. Even people who see it as a decent play (many don't) think it is awful for Shakespeare.
The movie is mainly only for the things Shakespeare didn't contribute.

I thought that was Pericles.

But what about the Henry plays?
I really liked Titus Andronicus. It was super edgy but that's probably why I liked it so much.

Titus Andronicus is pretty good imo.
Edgy teens don't read Shakespeare, they read YA fiction about fighting "the man" like The Hunger Games and base their political ideology around it.
Isaac Fisher
'For god's sake, let us sit upon the ground
and tell sad stories of the death of kings
how some have been deposed, some slain in war,
some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed.
Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping killed -
all murdered, for within the hollow crown
death keeps his court and there the antic sits
scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp
allowing him a breath, a little space,
to monarchise, be feared, and kill with looks
as if this flesh which walls about our life
were brass impregnable - and, humoured thus,
comes at the last and with a little pin
bores through his castle wall, and farewell, King!'
Joseph Diaz
These particular lines encapsulate the spirit of Veeky Forums so flawlessly:
>He reads much.
He is a great observer, and he looks
Quite through the deeds of men. He loves no plays,
As thou dost, Antony. He hears no music.
Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort
As if he mocked himself and scorned his spirit
That could be moved to smile at anything.
Such men as he be never at heart’s ease
Whiles they behold a greater than themselves,
Mason Hughes
Yet better thus, and known to be contemned,
Than still contemned and flattered. To be worst,
The lowest and most dejected thing of fortune
Stands still in esperance, lives not in fear.
The lamentable change is from the best;
The worst returns to laughter. Welcome, then,
Thou unsubstantial air that I embrace!
The wretch that thou hast blown unto the worst
Owes nothing to thy blasts.
