28.

Ariel, THE TEMPEST

To every article.
I boarded the King's ship. Now on the beak,
Now in the waste, the deck, in every cabin
I flamed amazement. Sometimes I'd divide,
And burn in many places; on the topmast,
The yards, and bowsprit, would I flame distinctly;
Then meet and join. Jove's lightning, the precursors
O' th' dreadful thunderclaps, more momentary
And sight-outrunning were not. The fire and cracks
Of sulphurous roaring the most mighty Neptune
Seem to beseige, and make his bold waves tremble,
Yea, his dread trident shake. . . .
Not a soul
But felt a fever of the mad, and played
Some tricks of desperation. All but mariners
Plunged into the foaming brine, and quit the vessel,
Then all afire with me. 1.2.194-213

27.

Autolycus, THE WINTER'S TALE

When daffodils begin to peer,

With hey the doxy over the dale
Why, then comes in the sweet o' the year,
For the red blood reigns in the winter's pale.
The white sheet bleaching on the hedge
With hey the sweet birds, how they sing!
Doth set my pugging tooth an edge
For a quart of ale is a dish for a king.
The lark, that tirra-lirra chants
With hey, with hey, the thrush and the jay
Are summer songs for me and my aunts
While we lie tumbling in the hay. 4.3.1-12

22.

Caesar, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

This is the news: he fishes, drinks, and wastes

The lamps of night in revel; is not more manlike
Than ______, nor the queen of Ptolomy
More womanly than he . . .
Let's grant it is not
Amiss to tumble on the bed of Ptolomy,
To give a kingdom for a mirth, to sit
And keep the turn of tippling with a slave,
To reel the streets at noon, and stand the buffet
With knaves that smell of sweat. Say this becomes him
(As his composure must be rare indeed
Whom these things cannot blemish), yet must ______
No way excuse his foils when we do bear
So great weight in his lightness. 1.4.4-25

29.

Caliban, THE TEMPEST

When thou cam'st first,

Thou strok'st me and made much of me, would
give me
Water with berries in 't, and teach me how
To name the bigger light, and how the less,
That burn by day and night; and then I loved thee
And showed thee all the qualities o' th' isle,
The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and
fertile--Cursed be that I did so! All the charms
Of _______, toads, beetles, bats, light on you;
For I am all the subjects that you have,
Which first was my own king, and here you
sty me
In this hard rock, whiles you do keep from me
The rest o' th' island.

14.

Captain, MACBETH

The merciless ________

(Worthy to be a rebel, for to that
The multiplying villainies of nature
Do swarm upon him) from the Western Isles
Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied;
And Fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling,
Showed like a rebel's whore. But all's too weak,
For brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name)
Disdaining Fortune, with his brandished steel
Which smoked with bloody execution,
Like valor's minion carved out his passage
Till he faced the slave;
Which ne'er shook hands nor bade farewell to him
Till he unseamed him from the nave to th' chops
And fixed his head upon our battlements. 1.2.9-23

1.

Claudius, HAMLET

Though yet of ______ our dear brother's death

The memory be green, and that it us befitted
To bear our hearts in grief and our whole kingdom
To be contracted in one brow of woe,
Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature
That we with wisest sorrow think on him
Together with remembrance of ourselves.
Therefore, our sometime sister, now our queen,
Th'imperial jointress of this warlike state,
Have we as 'twere with a defeated joy,
With one auspicious and one dropping eye,
With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage,
In equal scale weighing delight and dole,
Taken to wife.

19.

Cleopatra, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

That time--O times!-I laughed him out of patience, and that night
I laughed him into patience, and next morn,
Ere the ninth hour, I drunk him to his bed,
Then put my tires and mantles on him, whilst
I wore his sword Phillipan. 2.5.18-23

21.

Cleopatra, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

O ______,
Where think'st thou he is now? Stands he, or sits he?
Or does he walk? Or is he on his horse?
O happy horse, to bear the weight of _______!
Do bravely, horse, for wot'st thou whom thou movest? -The demi-Atlas of this earth, the arm
And burgonet of men. He's speaking now,
Or murmuring "Where's my serpent of old Nile?" -For so he calls me. Now I feed myself
With most delicious poison. Think on me,
That am with Phoebus' amorous pinches black
And wrinkled deep in time. Broad-fronted _______,
When thou wast here above the ground, I was
A morsel for a monarch, and great Pompey
Would stand and make his eyes grow in my brow.
There would he anchor his aspect, and die
With looking on his life. 1.5.18-34

23.

Cleopatra, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

The quick comedians

Extemporally will stage us, and present
Our Alexandrian revels. ______
Shall be brought drunken forth, and I shall see
Some squeaking ________ boy my greatness
I' th' posture of a whore. 5.2.212-217

10.

Cordelia, KING LEAR

Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave

My heart into my mouth. I love your majesty
According to my bond, no more nor less.
...
Good my lord,
You have begot me, bred me, loved me; I
Return those duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, love you, and most honor you.
Why have my sisters husbands, if they say
They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
Half my love with him, half my care and duty.

8.

Emilia, OTHELLO

Let husbands know

Their wives have sense like them. They see, and smell,
And have their palates both for sweet and sour
As husbands have. What is it that they do
When they change us for others? Is it sport?
I think it is. And doth affection breed it?
I think it doth. Is't frailty that thus errs?
It is so, too. And have not we affections,
Desires for sport, and frailty, as men have? 4.3.91-99

38.

Enobarbus, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,

The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
That life, a very rebel to my will,
May hang no longer on me: throw my heart
Against the flint and hardness of my fault:
Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder,
And finish all foul thoughts. O _____,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular;
But let the world rank me in register
A master-leaver and a fugitive:
O _____! O _____!
dies

39.

Enobarbus, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne,

Burn'd on the water: the poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them; the oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes. For her own person,
It beggar'd all description: she did lie
In her pavilion--cloth-of-gold of tissue-O'er-picturing that Venus where we see
The fancy outwork nature: on each side her
Stood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling Cupids,
With divers-colour'd fans, whose wind did seem
To glow the delicate cheeks which they did cool,
And what they undid did.

20.

Enobarbus, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale

Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetities they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish. 2.2.241-246

43.

Ferdinand, THE TEMPEST

Most sure, the goddess

On whom these airs attend! Vouchsafe my prayer
May know if you remain upon this island;
And that you will some good instruction give
How I may bear me here: my prime request,
Which I do last pronounce, is, O you wonder!
If you be maid or no?

34.

Gertrude, HAMLET

There is a willow grows aslant a brook,

That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream;
There with fantastic garlands did she come
Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples
That liberal shepherds give a grosser name,
But our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them:
There, on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds
Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke;
When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide;
And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:
Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;
As one incapable of her own distress,
Or like a creature native and indued
Unto that element: but long it could not be
Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death.

3.

Ghost, HAMLET

The leperous distillment, whose effect

Holds such an enmity with the blood of man
That swift as quicksilver it courses through
The natural gates and alleys of the body
And with a sudden vigor it doth posset
And curd, like eager droppings into milk,
The thin and wholesome blood. So it did mine,
And a most instant tetter barked about,
Most lazar-like, with vile and loathsome crust,
All my smooth body.

30.

Gonzalo, THE TEMPEST

I th' commonwealth I would by contraries

Execute all things. For no kind of traffic
Would I admit, no name of magistrate;
Letters should not be known; riches, poverty,
And use of service, none; contract, succession,
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none;
No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil;
No occupation, all men idle, all;
And women too--but innocent and pure;
No sovereignty-All things in common nature should produce
Without sweat or endeavor. Treason, felony,
Sword, pike, knife, gun, or need of any engine
Would I not have; but nature should bring forth
Of it own kind all foison, all abundance
To feed my innocent people. (2.1.147-164)

2.

Hamlet, HAMLET

Seems, madam? Nay, it is, I know not 'seems.'

'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother,
Nor customary suits of solemn black,
Nor windy suspiration of forced breath,
No, nor the fruitful river in the eye,
Nor the dejected havior of the visage,
Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,
That can denote me truly. These indeed seem,
For they are actions that a man might play,
But I have that within which passes show,
These but the trappings and the suits of woe.

5.

Hamlet, HAMLET

The rugged Pyrrhus, he whose sable arms,

Black as his purpose, did the night resemble
When he lay couched in the ominous horse,
Hath now this dread and black complexion smeared
With heraldry more dismal. Head to foot
Now is he total gules, horridly tricked
With blood of fathers, mothers, daughters, sons
Baked and impasted with the parching streets,
. . . Roasted in wrath and fire,
And thus o'ersized with coagulate gore,
With eyes like carbuncles, the hellish Pyrrhus
Old grandsire Priam seeks. 2.2.432-444

4.

Hamlet, HAMLET

O that this too too solid flesh would melt,

Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,
Or that the Everlasting had not fixed
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God, O God,
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Fie on't, ah, fie, fie! 'Tis an unweeded garden
That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely. That it should come to this-But two months dead--nay, not so much, not two-So excellent a king, that was to this
Hyperion to a satyr, so loving to my mother
That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
Visit her face too roughly! Heaven and earth,
Must I remember? Why, she would hang on him
As if increase of appetite had grown
By what it fed on, and yet within a month-Let me not think on it; frailty, thy name is woman-A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she followed my poor father's body,
Like Niobe, all tears, why she, even she-O God, a beast that wants discourse of reason
Would have mourned longer! --married with my uncle,
My father's brother, but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules.

6.

Hamlet, HAMLET

Is it not monstrous that this player here,

But in a fiction, in a dream of passion,
Could force his soul so to his own conceit
That from her working all his visage wanned,
Tears in his eyes, distraction in his aspect,
A broken voice, and his whole function suiting
With forms to his conceit? And all for nothing!
For Hecuba!
What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba,
That he should weep for her? What would he do
Had he the motive and the cue for passion
That I have? He would drown the stage with tears
And cleave the general ear with horrid speech,
Make mad with guilty and appall the free,
Confound the ignorant, and amaze indeed
The very faculties of eyes and ears. 2.2.527-543

41.

Hermione, THE WINTER'S TALE

More than mistress of

Which comes to me in name of fault, I must not
At all acknowledge. For __________,
With whom I am accused, I do confess
I loved him as in honour he required,
With such a kind of love as might become
A lady like me, with a love even such,
So and no other, as yourself commanded:
Which not to have done I think had been in me
Both disobedience and ingratitude
To you and toward your friend, whose love had spoke,
Even since it could speak, from an infant, freely
That it was yours. Now, for conspiracy,
I know not how it tastes; though it be dish'd
For me to try how: all I know of it
Is that _______ was an honest man;
And why he left your court, the gods themselves,
Wotting no more than I, are ignorant.

31.

Juno and Ceres, THE TEMPEST

Speaker 1. Honor, riches, marriage-blessing,

Long continuance and increasing,
Hourly joys be still upon you!
Juno sings her blessings on you.
Speaker 2. Earth's increase, foison plenty,
Barns and garners never empty,
Vines with clustering branches growing,
Plants with goodly burden bowing.
Spring come to you at the farthest
In the very end of harvest. (4.1.106-117)

16.

Lady Macbeth, MACBETH

Come, you spirits

That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe topful
Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood;
Stop up th'access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose nor keep peace between
Th'effect and it. Come to my woman's breasts
And take my milk for gall, you murd'ring ministers,
Wherever in your sightless substances
You wait on nature's mischief. Come, thick night
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark
To cry "Hold, hold!" 1.5.39-52

37.

Lear, KING LEAR

Poor naked wretches, whereso'er you are,

That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,
Your loop'd and window'd raggedness, defend you
From seasons such as these? O, I have ta'en
Too little care of this! Take physic, pomp;
Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel,
That thou mayst shake the superflux to them,
And show the heavens more just.

36.

Lear, KING LEAR

Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!

You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Smite flat the thick rotundity o' the world!
Crack nature's moulds, an germens spill at once,
That make ingrateful man!
Fool

11.

Lear, KING LEAR

No, you unnatural hags,

I will have such revenges on you both,
That all the world shall--I will do such things-What they are, yet I know not, but they shall be
The terrors of the earth! You think I'll weep,
No, I'll not weep. 2.4.273-278

13.

Lear, KING LEAR

Come, let's away to prison,

We two alone will sing like birds i'th' cage;
When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down
And ask of thee forgiveness. So we'll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too-Who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out-And take upon 's the mystery of things
As if we were God's spies, and we'll wear out
In a walled prison, packs and sects of great ones,
That ebb and flow by th' moon

12.

Lear, KING LEAR

Hear, nature, hear! dear goddess, hear!

Suspend thy purpose, if thou didst intend
To make this creature fruitful!
Into her womb convey sterility!
Dry up in her her organs of increase,
And from her derogate body never spring
A babe to honor her! If she must teem,
Create her child of spleen, that it may live
And be a thwart disnatured torment to her.
Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth;
With cadent tears fret channels in her cheeks;
Turn all her mother's pains and benefits
To laughter and contempt, that she may feel
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child! 1.4.251-266

24.

Leontes, THE WINTER'S TALE

Can thy dammay't be?

Affection, thy intention stabs the centre.
Thou dost make possible things not so held,
Communicat'st with dreamshow can this be?With what's unreal thou coactive art,
And fellow'st nothing. Then 'tis very credent
Thou mayst co-join with something, and thou dost
And that beyond commission; and I find it

25.

Leontes, THE WINTER'S TALE

Too hot, too hot:

To mingle friendship farre is mingling bloods.
I have tremor cordis on me. My heart dances,
But not for joy, not joy. This entertainment
May a free face put on, derive a liberty
From heartiness, from bounty, fertile bosom,
And well become the agent. T may, I grant,
But to be paddling palms and pinching fingers
As now they are, and then to sigh, as 'twere
The mort o the deerO, that is entertainment
My bosom likes not, nor my brows. 1.2.110-121

17.

Macbeth, MACBETH

Stars, hide your fires;

Let not light see my black and deep desires.
The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be
Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see. 1.4.50-5

15.

Macbeth, MACBETH

If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well

It were done quickly. If th'assassination
Could trammel up the consequence and catch
With his surcease success, that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all--; here,
But here upon this bank and shoal of time
We'ld jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here, that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague th' inventor. 1.7.1-10

35.

Miranda and Prospero, THE TEMPEST

Speaker 1: Sir, are you not my father?

Speaker 2: Thy mother was a piece of virtue, and
She said thou wast my daughter, and thy father
Was Duke of Milan, and his only heir
And princess no worse issued. 1.2.55-59

9.

Othello, OTHELLO

Soft you, a word or two before you go.

I have done the state some service, and they know't.
No more of that. I pray you, in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely but too well,
Of one not easily jealous but, being wrought,
Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand
Like the base Indian [Judean] threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe; of one whose subdued eyes,
Albeit unused to the melting mood,
Drops tears as fast as the Arabian trees
Their medicinable gum. Set you down this,
And say besides, that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and a turbaned Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduced the state,
I took by the throat the circumcised dog
And smote him thus. He stabs himself. 5.2.347-365

7.

Othello, OTHELLO

Her father loved me, oft invited me;

Still questioned me the story of my life
From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes,
That I have passed.
I ran it through, even from my boyish days
To th' very moment that he bade me tell it;
Wherein I spoke of most disastrous chances,
Of moving accidents by flood and field,
Of hair-breadth scapes i' th' imminent deadly breach,
Of being taken by the insolent foe
And sold to slavery, my redemption thence,
And portance in my traveller's history;
Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle,
Rough quarries, rocks, and hills whose heads touch heaven,
It was my hint to speak. Such was my process,
And of the cannibals that each other eat,
The Anthropophagi, and men whose heads
Do grow beneath their shoulders. . . .
. . . These things to hear
Would ________ seriously incline,
But still the house affairs would draw her thence,
Which ever as she could with haste dispatch,
She'd come again, and with a greedy ear
Devour up my discourse; which I observing,
Took once a pliant hour, and found good means
To draw from her a prayer of earnest heart
That I would all my pilgrimage dilate,
Whereof by parcels she had something heard,
But not intentively. I did consent,
And often did beguile her of her tears,
When I did speak of some distressful stroke
That my youth suffered. My story being done,
She gave me for my pains a world of kisses.
She swore i' faith'twas strange, 'twas passing strange;
'Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous pitiful.
She wished she had not heard it, yet she wished
That heaven had made her such a man.
....
She loved me for the dangers I had passed
And I loved her because she pitied them. 1.3.127-167

40.

Perdita, THE WINTER'S TALE

Sir, the year growing ancient,

Not yet on summer's death, nor on the birth
Of trembling winter, the fairest
flowers o' the season
Are our carnations and streak'd gillyvors,
Which some call nature's bastards: of that kind
Our rustic garden's barren; and I care not
To get slips of them.

18.

Philo, ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

Nay, but this dotage of our general's

O'erflows the measure. Those his goodly eyes
That o'er the files and musters of the war
Have glowed like plated Mars, now bend, now turn
The office and devotion of their view
Upon a tawny front. His captain's heart,
Which in the scuffles of great fights hath burst
The buckles on his breast, reneges all temper,
And is become the bellows and the fan

Polixenes, THE WINTER'S TALE

We were, fair queen,

Two lads that thought there was no more behind
But such a day tomorrow as today,
And to be boy eternal.
......
We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i' th'sun,
And bleat the one at th'other. What we changed
Was innocence for innocence. We knew not
The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dreamed
That any did. Had we pursued that life,
And our weak spirits ne'er been higher reared
With stronger blood, we should have answered
heaven
Boldly, "Not guilty," the imposition cleared
Hereditary ours. 1.2.69-77

32.

Prospero, THE TEMPEST

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,

As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep. (4.1.147-158)

42.

Prospero, THE TEMPEST

O, was she so? I must

Once in a month recount what thou hast been,
Which thou forget'st. This damn'd witch ___________,
For mischiefs manifold and sorceries terrible
To enter human hearing, from Argier,
Thou know'st, was banish'd: for one thing she did
They would not take her life. Is not this true?

33.

Prospero, THE TEMPEST

Now my charms are all o'erthrown,

And what strength I have's mine own,
Which is most faint. Now 'tis true
I must be here confined by you
Or sent to Naples. Let me not,
Since I have my dukedom got,
And pardoned the deceiver, dwell
In this bare island by your spell:
But release me from my bands
With the help of your good hands.
Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails
Which was to please. Now I want
Spirits to enforce, art to enchant;
And my ending is despair
Unless I be relieved by prayer,
Which pierces so, that it assaults
Mercy itself, and frees all faults.
As you from crimes would pardoned be,
Let your indulgence set me free. (epilogue 1-20)

Told by an idiot, full of

As I foretold you,
were spirits, and
Are melted into
air, into thin air;
And, like the
baseless fabric
of this vision,
The cloudclapped towers,
the gorgeous
palaces,
The solemn
temples, the
great globe itself,
Yea, all which it
inherit, shall
dissolve;
And, like this
insubstantial
pageant faded,
Leave not a rack
behind. We are
such stuff
As dreams are
made on, and
our little life
Is rounded with
a sleep.

The Tempest, Prospero, Prospero has

remembered the plot against his life.

Out, damned
spot; out I say.
One, two,--why,
then 'tis time to
do't.
Hell is murky.
Fie, my lord, fie,
a soldier and
afeard?
What need we
fear who knows
it
When none can
call our power to
account?
Yet who would
have thought
The old man to
have had so
much blood in
him?

Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is

sleepwalking and sees Duncan's blood on
her hands on the eve of Macbeth's last
battle.

Put out the light,

She should have died

hereafter.
There would have been a
time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and
tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this pretty pace
from day to day
To the last syllable of
recorded time.
And all our yesterdays
have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle.
Life's but a walking
shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his
hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no
more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of
sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth

has learned that Lady Macbeth
is dead.

She swore in faith 'twas

strange, 'twas passing
strange,
'Twas pitiful, 'twas
wondrous pitiful.

Othello, Othello.

So, when this loose

behaviour I throw off
And pay the debt I never
promised,
By how much better than
my word I am,
By so much shall I falsify
men's hopes...
I'll so offend to make
offence a skill,
Redeeming time when
men think least I will.

it is no boot,
And place
your hands
below your

foot,
In token of
which duty, if
he please,
My hand is

The Tamin of the Shrew, Katherine,

Katherine explains her new views on the
wife's role.

Thy friends
suspects for
traitors while
thou liv'st,
And take deep
traitors for thy
dearest
friends.
No sleep close
up that deadly
eye of thine,
Unless it be
while some
tormenting
dream
Affrights thee
with a hell of
ugly devils.

Richard III, Margaret to Richard, Margaret

concludes her long diatribe against the
Yorks and the Woodevilles.

To be, or not to
be: that is the
question:
Whether 'tis
nobler in the
mind to suffer
The slings and
arrows of
outrageous
fortune
Or to take
arms against a
sea of
troubles...

According to

King Lear, Cordelia to King Lear, Lear has

asked his daughters to tell him how much
they love him before he divides his kingdom
among them.

We at the

There is a tide
in the affairs
of men
Which, taken
at the flood,
leads on to
fortune;
Omitted, all
the voyage fo
their life
Is bound in

in miseries.
On such a full
sea are we
now afloat,
And we must
take the
current when
it serves,
Or lose our
ventures.

Were I the
Moor I would
not be Iago.
In following
him I follow
but myself;
Heaven is my
judge, not I
for love and
duty,
But seeming
so for my
peculiar end.
For when my
outward
action doth
demonstrate
The native act
and figure of
my heart
In
compliment
extern, 'tis not
long after
But I will wear
my heart
upon my
sleeve
For daws to
peck at. I am
not what I am.

Othello, Iago to Roderigo, Iago explains why

he serves Othello even though he hates him.

When I was
dry with rage
and extreme
toil...
To be so
pestered with
a popinjay!...
So cowardly,
and but for
these vile guns
He would

Whence is that
knocking?-How is't with me,
when every noise
appalls me?
What hands are
here! Ha, they pluck
out mine eyes.
Will all great
Neptune's ocean
wash this blood
Clean from my
hand? No, this my
hand will rather
The multitudinous
seas incarnadine,
Making the green
one red.

Macbeth, Macbeth, having just

murdered Duncan, Macbeth is
startled by a knock at his door.

You lie, in faith, for

you are called plain
Kate,
And bonny Kate,
and sometimes Kate
the curst,
But Kate, the
prettiest Kate in
Christendom,
Kate of Kate Hall,
my super-dainty
Kate-For dainties are all
cates, and therefore
'Kate'...

The Taming of the Shrew, Petruccio.

You taught me

Is I know how to

The Tempest, Caliban to Prospero and

Miranda, Miranda has scolded
Caliban for his ingratitude.
