Flirt and be romantic like SHAKESPEARE ???

If you want to seduce your love interest, you will need more than the overused chat-up lines of today. Who better to turn to than the quintessential master of romance himself, William Shakespeare? In this lesson, I will use romantic lines from some of Shakespeare’s plays to show you how you can woo that special someone. Whether you are writing a letter or card, reciting these lines to your lover atop a balcony, or pasting these same lines to 67 different potential dates for the night in a hookup app, your chances of success will be increased if you use the right words.

Great lesson and great literature. (And also useful;))

Speaking of “oxymorons”, the quote from A Midsummer Night’s Dream says “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind”, whereas the third quote from Romeo and Juliet basically says “Did my heart love until now? Absolutely not! For I never saw true beauty until this night” (then again, I guess that different characters could have different concepts of love).

Also, considering that Hamlet was written in 1599 (near the end of the 16th century), I guess not many people even dared to “doubt that the sun doth move”. Copernicus’s heliocentric model was published in 1543, but those who followed the theory were considered “heretics” by the Church, such as Giordano Bruno (burned at the stake in 1600) and Galileo (placed under house arrest for life). Well, technically the sun does wobble a little within the context of the solar system, and the whole solar system orbits around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, but that’s beside the point.
