Shakespeare Words
Shakespearean, not stirred.
If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.
Critic
Popularized in Love's Labour's Lost“ | And I, forsooth, in love! I, that have been love's whip; | |
| A very beadle to a humorous sigh; | ||
| A critic, nay, a night-watch constable; | ||
| A domineering pedant o'er the boy; | ” |
In case you couldn't tell, a critic isn't a good thing to be, according to Shakespeare. We guess he didn't know that everyone's a critic. P.S. Shakespeare also slapped an -al on to this word in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Pretty critical, eh? |
