Shakespeare is all violence and sex themes 0_0 Funny that Tybalt's death got a spoiler alert but not Romeo and Juliet suicide together. All of those deaths are elemental to the story arc lol :)

Your comment was six years ago, but... I think you have it backwards. Such words were either invented or given a new meaning by Shakespeare--meaning, at that time, you wouldn't immediately know they were insults, but you would INFER that they were, based on the context, such as "the characters not liking each other." And I believe it's the process of inferring as you hear it that makes it work, that makes it somehow "a revelation" to the audience. They were probably like, "Hey, that new word combination is actually pretty witty!"

biting the thumb in those times were the equivalent of flipping off someone today. And also, the example of insults in Romeo And Juliet wasn't that of a good one. Clearly, Mercutio's ones should have been illustrated, those were the real scenes that made the audiences, both back then and now, laugh. A scene i really enjoyed would be the Nurse coming to find Romeo and meeting with Mercutio and Benvolio instead.

so you're also gonna pronounce psyche "pxi-e"? I studied the classics myself but also literary criticism, and harmatia is one of many terms (like katharsis) that have been used in criticism so often it started developing a new meaning on its own, in particular, the tragic mistake. That particular meaning came straight from Poetics.

Elvin Meng No, and I can't even make sense out of your attempt at a phonetic spelling anyway. Psyche is a bit different from hamartia because psyche has made its way into daily usage and the mispronunciation is standardized. Hamartia is still a foreign word in English.

However, I was taught to read from the King James Bible and to understand that style of language from the time I was six, so Shakespeare was a walk in the park for me as a high schooler studying Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Much Ado About Nothing. Sometimes I get upset with myself because I think I am just a monolingual American; then I realize most Americans can't interpret English scripture, or Shakespeare, or the Founding Documents; and suddenly I don't so stupid and uneducated after all.

In Tybalt's very first sentence, he utters a threat, an insult, and a pun! Tybalt is trying to provoke Benvolio into fighting by calling the Montagues "heartless hinds." On the surface, "heartless hinds" simply means "timid servants" (an insult in itself); however, if one looks closer and discovers the etymology of the word "hart" and "hind," one discovers an even deeper grating comment in Tybalt's pun. The word "heart" is a play on the word "hart" which means "a male deer." The word "hind" in addition to meaning "servant" can also mean "a female deer." Therefore, Tybalt is basically throwing the ultimate insult at the Montagues in that Tybalt is insulting their manhood: "What, art thou drawn among these man-less women?

Who cringes when they hear Shakespeare? What a silly thing to say. Is this a Ted Talk for 3rd graders?

'Thou painted maypole' (what hermia calls helena in amnd) has got to be one of my favourites. not only is it calling helena obnoxiously tall as hermia often gets mocked for being short but its also implying that helena thinks the whole world revolves around her

I never cringe when I hear Shakespeare even if I get a little confused but I don't care I love words, especially his.
I love videos like this because in such a short amount of time, you learn something new and it's presented in an entertaining enough manner that you want to keep watching. I HATED reading Halmet in High School. It was so boring. But this video gives me a bit more respect for Shakespeare, I must admit.

My favourite line in the Shakespeare playwright Macbeth, is when the murderer stabs a character and says "what, you egg?"

I do bite my thumb on the subject... Meaning I have a very uneasy time with the reading.

"Biting your tumb" was actually a term that Shakespeare tried to make a thing. And failed.

GET THEE TO A NUNNERY! ... In my AP English class we used this a lot after we went through that scene. I feel like you should have explained that one more... like the fact that nunnery could mean a convent OR a brothel, which makes it even greater.

For a long list of Shakespeare insults, go to the Shakespeare Study Guide (type these words in a search engine) and click on curses and insults.

i remember first reading shakespear.. it's actually not as scary as it seems.. i didnt understood alot of it, but most people forget this stuff was written centuries ago. of course people talked differently. they used words that we no longer use, and on top of that, had a vocabulary practically ten times smaller then the average american. once you learn some of the slang, and some of the actions they do that signify something, its actually not very hard to understand

This is a good one from the Merchant of Venice: Gratiano: ‘But no metal can, no, not the hangman’s axe, bear half the keenness of thy sharp envy. Can no prayers pierce thee?’ Shylock: ‘No, none that thou hast wit enough to make.’

Truly, such manners are only known to those which giveth not 2 ducats on thine mothers grave!
