Shakespeare Week Quote Class!

[Gabriel Kross]

Ok class pay attention, we will now play a game of quotes.

 

 

I will say a quote and you will all try to guess the title that it's from and the character who said it. As I will be pulling these quotes right out of my trusty leatherbound copy of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare," I hope this to be a bit challenging. I shall also be the only mod for this game so bear with me on the time zone differences I'll do my best to keep the game rolling smoothly. With no further ado I'd like to get the ball rolling with the first quote.

[keyholder21]

Not a problem! I actually really like that play, but it's probably because I'm fascinated with that era of British History .

 

*waits for new quote* This is quite a memory game heh. Most of the Shakespeare I've read was in high school or the first two years of college!
