It's bad when Shakespeare out of context is enough to make me laugh

@StrawberryMilkshake I had to think about it for a second 😂
I'm not as familiar with A midsummer nights dream as I am with some of his other plays but I do vaguely remember that scene

@StrawberryMilkshake which is probably why I haven't spent much time on it.
Macbeth is more my kind of play. Dark, full of evil and treachery, tragic and has some justice at the end when he gets what he deserves.

@StrawberryMilkshake After Macbeth my two favourites are probably Julius Caesar and then Hamlet. King Lear is very good too.
There's so much that I like about Macbeth but this part in particular stands out in my mind
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
