mercurial_wit and read the latest post ^_^
The first line of the soliloquy – To be or not to be, that is the question – is a good example of something known as headlining, which Shakespeare used a lot in his lengthy self-examination monologues. This one line neatly sums up the content and subject of the entire speech, which is Hamlet tossing up the pros and cons of suicide, just as a newspaper headline would. Headlining served a simple and vital purpose – it told the audience what was coming up, so that even though they might not understand most of the flowery and metaphorical language of the speech, they still knew (in a general sense) what the character was talking about. This reflects the mixed social standings of a typical Shakespearean audience – the uneducated general public would be given the gist of things in plainesse, and then sit through Shakespeare giving his vocabulary a workout to cater for the more literate upper class and indulge his own love of inkhorn language.
Oh yeah, this essay is going down.
Someone distract me before I have to write another paragraph.
Meme, gacked from Kelsey because it's a nice idea and I feel like distributing warm fuzzies. Leave a comment on this post and I'll give you an honest compliment. Gratis. How easy is that?
Pee Ess, for schoolfriends - if anyone has any idea if we're going clubbing at Holy Grail tonight or not, and if so what time, can they leave a comment or call me or something? *ish confused*

You introduced me to Weiss, and for that I shall be forever grateful. You're also a very fun person to shamelessly fangirl with.
no subject
Just a side question, and don't think I'm not grateful but, what brought about this sudden burst of affection? *is curious*

Compliments for Tink ^^ You understand me better than anyone else and you are tolerant of my emotional crap. And Emily's haircut looks like Shane with a fringe, when it's out :P
She hates the Logical Song, though.

have recruited two drooling partners in shane-lovin' crime. and the 4th ep is just a big batch of shane cuteness.
and clearly our inevitable romance is DOOMED if emily does not like the logical song. :P

Gratis compliment: You're a better writer than I will ever be, and you can toss things off effortlessly that I wouldn't be able to constuct in a month. And we need to write more TNIAY before Ashie rips my head off.
