SHAKESPEARE is SO hard!!!!!?
Don't you mean Act 2, scene 3? It starts with the Friar setting the scene for the audience (since there would be no background); specifically that it is morning ("The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night/Chequering the eastern clouds with streaks of light") He picks a flower and tells of its dichotomy (two-sides) Within the infant rind of this small flower/Poison hath residence and medicine power -which is a metaphor for love (and for Romeo) - that love can be the best thing in the world (if you have the right one) and can also be the most painful (if you don't have it or lose it). He repeats the idea: "For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part/Being tasted, slays all senses with the heart." - that love makes us do silly (senseless) things He ends with a forshadow of Romeo's death because of love: "And where the worser is predominant/ Full soon the canker death eats up that plant" - meaning that where love is lost (Juliet's presumed death), Love will cause death to "eat up" Romeo. Shakespeare gives even the slowest person a clue that it is all about Romeo by having Romeo enter as the Friar is saying the final line - he'd probably look right at him in a stage production. Ahhh...you just gotta love the Bard.
"So shines a good deed in a weary world." is in what Shakespeare play?
It's The Merchant of Venice, Act 5, Scene I: Portia: "That light we see is burning in my hall. How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world." See: http://www.online-literature.com/shakesp...

Was Shakespeare a genius?
Good lord, that's like asking if the ocean is wet! Shakespeare is almost the definition of a genius.Consider that --He wrote the greatest plays ever written in human history, bar none. He did this with only a grade school education!He was the greatest poet in the English language. Among the world's poets, only Dante is said to have been his equal. He had a seemingly encyclopedic understanding of fields from philosophy to the law -- again, with a grade school education!Such was his facility with verse that his actors said that he "scarce blotted a line" in his manuscripts (to which fellow playwright Ben Jonson replied acidly, "would he had blotted a thousand").He had an awesome working vocabulary, between 20,000 and 30,000 words. Many words and expressions now commonly used in language appeared first in his plays and he invented something like 1700 of the words we used today -- words like "laughter" and "champion." Here are some of them: Words Shakespeare InventedHis understanding of human psychology was so profound that it wasn't equaled until the early 20th century; of politics and sociology, no less remarkable and advanced.So not only was Shakespeare a genius, he was a genius among geniuses, partner to a handful of sublime thinkers like Da Vinci, Newton, Bach, and Einstein.
Who is better J.K.Rowling or Shakespeare?
To compare Shakespeare to Rowling and vise versa doesn't make sense. They are both equally good at their type of literature. I'm sure if you switched the two around, they would both have a difficult time, not to mention the hundreds of years separating the two people. Shakespeare in his time wrote what the public was willing to read. His works are beautiful and timeless. Rowling has - not single-handedly, but - had a big part in inspiring a generation of video-game players and boob-tube watchers to begin reading. As for me, I love them both the same.
