British school kids are generally only force fed Shakespeare's romances and tragedies, leaving me to learn about the Romans from computer games and Gladiator insteadDukasaur wrote:You're supposed to be an Englishman, and you don't know your Shakespeare?

A suggestion for ralph: look up the tragedy Julius Ceasar by William Shakespeare. You might learn something worthy.bigtoughralf wrote:British school kids are generally only force fed Shakespeare's romances and tragedies, leaving me to learn about the Romans from computer games and Gladiator insteadDukasaur wrote:You're supposed to be an Englishman, and you don't know your Shakespeare?

No and No.bigtoughralf wrote:Julius Caesar is classed as a history, not a tragedy.
Suggestion for jp: look up my last posts in the Israel thread.

ralph is a silly Englishman (or a fake one) if he knows so little about William Shakespeare, a playwright, and NOT a historian.jusplay4fun wrote:A suggestion for ralph: look up the tragedy Julius Ceasar by William Shakespeare.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Julius ... hakespeareJulius Caesar, tragedy in five acts by William Shakespeare, produced in 1599–1600 and published in the First Folio of 1623 from a transcript of a promptbook. Based on Sir Thomas North’s 1579 translation (via a French version) of Plutarch’s Bioi parallēloi (Parallel Lives), the drama takes place in 44 BCE, after Caesar has returned to Rome.

ralph continues to show us that he is ignorant of History AND that his knowledge mostly comes from games and movies. THAT is THE way to learn History, ralph. No wonder you show SO MUCH knowledge of the U.K and U.S.British school kids are generally only force fed Shakespeare's romances and tragedies, leaving me to learn about the Romans from computer games and Gladiator instead
Out of my sight! Thou dost infect my eyes.

I did not read Wikipedia on this. BUT….Dukasaur wrote:I think you're being unfair, here, JP.
Everyone who classifies Shakespeare's plays admits that the categories are highly debatable, and many plays fall into more than one.
Most commentators do put Julius Caesar among the tragedies, but putting it among the histories is not unreasonable.
The first sentence of the wikipedia entry for it calls it both.

Let us learn from a real master, Shakespeare. Here is his evaluation of ralph:bigtoughralf wrote:Which is why I am grateful to be able to study at the feet of such a master, with such an extensive Google search history.
I have more brains than you and your buddy p-rat combined, and I am talking about one ELBOW, not both. I have forgotten more than you two have ever learned."Thou sodden-witted lord! Thou hast no more brain than I have in mine elbows"
