Shakespearean Insults
English 9Austin
Shakespeare, William (1564-1616), English playwright and poet, recognized in much of the world as the greatest of all dramatists. Shakespeare's plays communicate a profound knowledge of the wellsprings of human behavior, revealed through portrayals of a wide variety of characters.
His use of poetic and dramatic means to create a unified aesthetic effect out of a multiplicity of vocal expressions and actions is recognized as a singular achievement, and his use of poetry within his plays to express the deepest levels of human motivation in individual, social, and universal situations is considered one of the greatest accomplishments in literary history.
Not everyone though considers that the master bard is a genius of the English Language - here are some insulting quotes about the master bard.

From Romeo and Juliet
Why he's a man of wax
When good manners shall lie all in one or two man's hands and they unwashed too, tis a foul thing
You kiss by the book
He heareth not, he stirreth not, he moveth not, the ape is dead
She speaks yet she says nothing
The very butcher of silk button
He is not the flower of courtesy
Thy head is as full of quarrels as an egg is full of meat
You ratcatcher
A dog, a cat, a mouse, a rat to scratch a man to death
A plague on both your houses
Despised substance of divinest show
Hang, beg, starve, die in the streets
Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death
