Another of My Observations....

Nippy · Post by **Nippy** » Fri Feb 08, 2002 1:26 am

As you all know, I reguarly observe and point out things to you all. I have noticed something else. How many people have read Much Ado About Nothing? I imagine quite a few of you.

Now look at the first scene again, and look at SYM. Does anyone notice the similarity of argument? Beatrice and Bene**** twist words at each other, as do we.

Do you think this has something to do with the insanity caused by SYM?

As I've said before, *I* am perfectly sane. It's the rest of you who are crazy.

As *I* have said before, They just pretend to be crazy.

But why would you want to be sane?

@Nippy, I've never heard of "Much Ado About Nothing," so I can't provide any insight that has any relevance to this topic, so this post is turning out to be some more unsane spam.

Speakplay?

Is that a Shakespearean play? Beatrice and Benedict(sp?) remind me of Georgi and Aegis... and Bloodstalker... and Waverly and...

It is Shakesperian, and I'd like to point out that Aegis and Georgi literally are incredibly similar to Beatrice and Bened!ck.

B & B both use wordplay to insult each other but end up marrying. Do you think that Aegis and Georgi could?

You've never heard of Much Ado? One of Shakespeare's best comedies!?! *Nippy tuts at American schools* English! Can you call it English when they don't study English writers?

BENED!CK
What, my dear Lady Disdain! are you yet living?

BEATRICE
Is it possible disdain should die while she hath
such meet food to feed it as Signior Bened!ck?
Courtesy itself must convert to disdain, if you come
in her presence.

Naw, I don't think they would ever get married....

..... But it is certain I am loved of all ladies, only you excepted: and I would I could find in my heart that I had not a hard heart; for, truly, I love none. (Hmmmm. This dosn't sound like Aegis: "loved of all ladies"? Maybe Bloodstalker as an outside chance. Probably Waverly, but I don't like to think about such things...)

*Gwally puts on a bad British accent and talks in a high voice*

A dear happiness to women: they would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I thank God and my cold blood, I am of your humour for that: I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me. (Yup. This sounds like Georgi, alright!)

*Gwally starts barking like a dog at crows...*

Nope. The only works of Shakespeare that I know are Romeo & Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and one other of which the name I forget. I think it's the one with the line "Tickle us, do we not laugh? Prick us, do we not bleed? Wrong us, shall we not seek revenge?" The only one I've seen is A Midsummer Night's Dream.

@Gwalchmai: you win.

I couldn't come up with anything past that one line.

I cheated....

@ der Moench: Try this web site: Shakespeare

Do you enjoy Shakespeare's works? Although he wrote a long time ago, a lot of his themes have connections with modern day events and practices...

Those lines were said by Shylock, the Jewish merchant.

Heehee, I guess I know more Shakespearean plays than I realized. I just don't know what lines are from which.

I was actually thinking of a different one. McBeth, I think. A scene from it is in one of the Highlander movies, I think. It's also mentioned in at least one episode of Gargoyles. Isn't this grande? My references in trying to figure out which shakespearean play I'm talking about are the Disney cartoon Gargoyles and one of the Highlander movies. I'm soooo cultured.
