"Dost thou think that because thou art virtuous there shall be no more cakes and ale?"

[rivendellrose]

My Shakespeare professor, though a very nice man and an interesting teacher, is a detail-obsessed freak who enjoys making tests as viciously difficult as possible, I think.

Anyone who can tell me the play that the above quote is from will have my respect. The first person to correctly give me the names of the character speaking and the one being spoken to... I'll write a drabble of your choice, whatever pairing/fandom/etc you desire. I'm not promising it'll be good, but I feel the need to reward that sort of knowledge, since I definitely did NOT have it while taking my final this morning.

No cheating - I wasn't allowed to look it up, so neither are you. ♥ You're on your honor not to google it or otherwise look it up. Only guesses or just plain knowing count. And yes, I know the answer - I went to the computer lab and looked it up right away after I left the test. Feel free to offer insane guesses!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to loud music, sulk, and pretend I don't have another evil, detail-oriented psycho-final tomorrow morning.

ETA: Bast Lestrange explaining the Butterfly Effect to Hermione totally made my impending sulk disappear - thank you, dalhessian, that was lovely.

That's from my favorite play. Twelfth Night. (I have nearly the whole thing memorized, and I did it in HS) Damn, I forgot who says it. Either Sir Andrew or Sir Toby, I think...or was it Maria....

It's 12th Night, it's Anne, and I think someone already said this.

[spazzychic.livejournal.com]

No! I'm wrong! It's uhm, Toby? And WTF is Anne? Saint Anne. Please ignore that.

Sir Toby to Malvolio in Twelfth Night?

It just goes to prove that one should never, ever ask Bast a question about butterflies or squirrels. He will explain in detail why he is terrifed of them.

And give me a headache in the process.

I think he actually managed to stump Hermione there a bit when he went into applied mathematics in complex systems in relation to the smallest effect inducing Chaos.

I know for sure he stumped me... but that's not too hard if the subject at hand is math.

From my favest 12th Night, baby~ *lurves* ^_^

That much I will admit is true, and I eventually got it figured out on the test. The actual characters, though, I totally got wrong.

*Hugs* How go the finals, hun?

[seraphic-jen.livejournal.com]

I'm dead inside. ^o^ But the tests are over... just the portfolio to finish and turn in tomorrow. Then done! *falls over*

Lucky you.... I've still got one tomorrow morning. No FMA for me tonight, apparently.

Well, don't feel too bad. There is a good possibility that I will end up teaching Shakespeare in the next couple of years and I didn't know. Blech. Finals suck.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, they do.

And you, at least, have time to study. I studied, and still this is what I get. *Headdesk*
