1. From which Shakespeare play does each of the following quotations come ?



a. “Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t.”

Hamlet

b. “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts,”



c. “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,

And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”



d. “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”



e. “Our revels now are ended. These our actors,

As I foretold you, were all spirits and

Are melted into air, into thin air;”







f. “Was ever woman in this humour wooed?

Was ever woman in this humour won?

I’ll have her, but I will not keep her long.”



g. “O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,

That monthly changes in her circle orb.”



h. “O, that way madness lies; let me shun that.

No more of that.”

Half is a bad deal for you, after all you gave him ALL the answers.
If I were you I'd go for atleast 75%

Xenon, do you have a photographic memory, or do you just really like Shakespeare?

My favourite shakespeare work is As you like it. It is shorter than most of his other stuff and it is somewhat easier to understand.

I saw the Tempest (as in acted out on theater in Shakespearen tongue) when I was nine . Really liked it.
I've read Romoe and Juliet and Hamlet as well.
