I am really excited to start Shakespeare. I haven't truthfully read Romeo & Juliet, but I know the story well. I think it's funny that comedies were considered as romance stories back then, and now they are considered as funny stories. It's like the English language back then. They had all of these words that are foreign to our modern society. It can take awhile to understand the vocabulary. But I really like the insults. I've made a few of them myself: Thou dankish base-court clotpole. Thou gorbellied fen-sucked fustilarian. Do you guys have any Shakespearean insults that you really like?
One of Shakespeare's plays, Othello, was turned into a movie with Julia Stiles. I haven't seen it. But I don't think it is as good, because it's the same plotline except for the fact it takes place in high school.

Ugh! thou hath not read the story of the fair Juilet and the audacious Romeo? you Are a horrible person!!!! im just kidding!!!!
I don't have any favorite insults sorry. I do think that reading Shakespeare is going to be fun though. I am really excited about it. I don't see how you can have a favorite insult when you don't even know what those words mean. Though many of them sound really funny.
