Favourite Shakespeare Quotations.....Guess the quote, then add a new one....

[DrDaddy]

Looks like I inadvertently started a Shakespeare quotations thread on the Film quotes...Have been challenged by Worktostaysane. Come on all you English scholars! Here's an easy one to start us off:

"Kiss me Kate!"

oh well, right nationality and century.

Back to Shakespeare: (don't know about St Crispin's Day)

"He has no children."

On St. Crispin's Day

[Hint: on eve of large battle]

Well I would know that one!

Would you, Lady Macbeth? So why don't you tell us?

Henry V, DrDaddy?

"He has no children" is Macduff, on hearing that his family have been murdered; in what is one of my favourite speeches of all time.

Janeite would you prefer quotes from a different author? It is a truth universally acknowledged that (wo)man cannot live on Shakespeare alone.

Lol! It is also a truth universally acknowledged (or at least by the people I've spoken to) that ITV should never have re-made "Mansfield Park" or "Persuasion"!!

Unfortunately Jane didn't really write enough for us to be able to play the quotes game with her!

Shame about Mansfield Park as I like Billie Piper - but she was so wrong for the part! And the book is too long to be compressed into one tv prog. Persuasion was better.
