About This Book

A parlor-game anthology that collects short lines from Shakespeare's plays and arranges them as answers to ten conversational prompts. Each prompt—covering identity, admired qualities, occupations, aversions, styles of beauty, ideals, first meetings and greetings, wishes, and futures—offers twenty numbered quotations cited by play and scene. Readers are invited to select responses to compose quick character portraits or to prompt social play, using dramatic utterances to suggest temperament, desire, and fate. The arrangement functions as both a compact quotation compendium and a playful instrument for improvisation, showcasing the variety of moods and voices across the dramatic works.

He cannot flatter, he!—
An honest mind and plain,—he must speak truth;
An they will take it, so.
