Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Those get translated into modern english, though, making them far more accessable to the layman. Shakespeare is just on the cusp of being total gibberish to the modern anglophone, so it's left alone and quite a lot of people get really, really upset (because they are sperglords) if you try to translate it into something readily understandable.

SpaceMost posted:Part of the pleasure of Shakespeare is the language, and the games he plays with language. A lot of the cleverness is lost if you translate to modern English. Admittedly, that requires some level of familiarity with the work, and some comfort with Elizabethan English (which doesn't take as much effort as you might think) -- but it's no more spergy than saying flag football has no place in the NFL. But... flag football has no place in the NFL. GRRM agrees, I read it on his blog. Hey guys lets talk about Pride and Prejudice next, Darcy is such a cad

I thought the BBC miniseries with Colin Firth and the lady who originally was to play Catelyn Stark was entertaining, just the book was kind of dull. The one I hate is Jane Eyre, and Tess of the D'Urbervilles is uncomfortable and almost as rapey as GRRM. I like Oscar Wilde though, he is like a reverse Dolorous Edd but just as hardgay.

Brings me back to the days when we used to discuss the books, and how we all got told to never have kids because we hate Sansa and therefore all women/children ever.

The problem with Shakespeare is that he didn't include enough sexposition scenes in his plays. How could the audience possibly know what was going on?

I want to built a giant laser cannon controlled by a powerful computer that will precisely bounce a tight beam off the moon to etch "Romeo and Juliet is not a love story" on everyone's forehead. No one will be spared, not even the children. It will subsequently etch "these books will never end" on George R. R. Martin's car. Does he have a car? I think he has a great big fat person car, like a Monte Carlo, but not a cool one. IRQ posted:Hanged, you illiterate savage. Aaron, they said you was hung! And they was right.
