Shakespeare is a favourite in our home. He introduced hundreds of words to the English language as well as many now often used phrases. Here are some not so well known quotes but may come in handy at school or work. If you have a fancied Shakespearean insult of your own please feel free to add it with your log.
Identify the character who made the insult. Take the letter of their name identified and transcribe to its alphabetical value ie: a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, …. z = 26.
Coordinates are at South 32 A.BCD East 115 CC.EFG
A = “beetle headed, flap ear’d knave!” (3rd letter)
B = “what a disgrace it is to me that I should remember your name.” (1st letter)
C = “thou lump of foul deformity” (3rd letter - include nobility title)
D = “thou art a boil, a plague sore” (2nd letter - include nobility title)
E = “Hence! Home you idle creatures, get you home!” (1st letter)
F = “It is a tale told by an idiot” (5th letter)

The truth will out - here
