Now.
Shakespeare (Yes, that is the proper form of the deformed phrase in my heading) was a very very intelligent fellow. Slightly mad, maybe. But intelligent, nevertheless.
Seshpare (as my english teacher might refer to him by) thought of things that no average literary artist might think of today. For example, a knight who had no dignity making a solemn oath that some mustard had gone bad.
See, it's creative, innovative, DIFFERENT certainly, original and......... err.... slightly retarded. No offense Mr. Shakey.
The play concepts were plotted cleverly, although somewhere along the way Mr. Pear lost it. Lost what, you may ask? Not the will to complete the play, not the idea, not the writing talent. His sanity, oh yes.
His plays that he meant to come under the genre of 'Fantasy'..... did come under that and his concepts were sensible..............NOT.
Now, Mr Shakespeare had writing talent, oh yes. That is certainly not being denied here. Just.... eccentric path of thought and.. ok. cutting to the chase here. HE TALKED THE LANGUAGE OF MENTAL. Thee, thou, tho, thy wth!? Instead of going "Thou hath hurt thy innermost feelings that thy hath wrapped and safekept for eternal length of time, thou art banished from the Kingdom, this very land that we step foot upon at this very instant and henceforth shalt never show thyself in this sacred space that we shall be dwelt in.", why can't he just say "Look dude, whatever. get lost."
See? So simple.
Looks like Sir Literary Genius had a couple of minor setbacks with his writing. they were works slightly resembling nonsense.
I would very much like to point out that this is told from the mind of a minor. BUT, if thou could fetch me an adult who can actually read a whole unabridged play of shakespeares and say that that person actually:
i] survived it
ii] has retained the same mental position that he hath started out with
iii] enjoyed it (provided the clause ii is satisfied)
,
Thou shalt be praised.
Whoops. Looks like Shakespearitis is contagious.

I think the publishers paid him for every word. So it makes sense that the longer, the better.
But well spotted! :D
Lol, you know what?
i dont know about his plays, but his sonnets n stuff were published without his consent cuz well.... he kaputted before they were discovered :S
Hahahahahaha!
Those were long-ass things too, methinks. xD
Historians make us believe that Shakespeare was this poor, hardworking genius. Little did everyone know that his works would be the source of doom for students EVERYWHERE. O_O
I know that THAT was the language spoken then.
But frankly, if nothing had changed, I can't imagine one of those annoying preppies saying "Like, ALAS. The world hath crumbled, along with this maid's ferocious locks. "
aisu , art thou alright?
