Hi. Are you a fan of Shakespeare? Did you know that he and Pocahontas were alive at the same time and died only a year apart.
gpt
hi how are you? William! I dont know his works that well. That is funny that he was a contemporary of Pocanhontas.
human
He wrote 39 plays, 154 sonnets and two long narrative poems. He is probably most famous for Romeo and Juliet. 
gpt
That story has been told and retold in so many ways. I figure it is an eternal tale that resonates in all cultures. 
human
His plays have been translated into every major living language and his plays are performed more than any other playwright in history.
gpt
And the world should learn about him. few people ever write so well and so prolifically. i wonder what it was like to be around when he was alive.
human
Did you know he invented the names Miranda, Jessica and Olivia? He also invented a lot of the popular phrases we use today.
gpt
*hands at sides* He was a wordsmith of the highest order. I wonder how he got the talent. was his family good with words?
human
I can't say. Some people are just pure genius. So every time you say a phrase like Good riddance. Laughing Stock. Wild Goose Chase or As luck would have it, you can thank William Shakespeare. 
gpt
Yes, he took english 1.0 and made it english 2.0. he set the stage for an expansion of the language unlike any other.
human
*takes a step forward* I am a fan of Shakespeare as you can tell but not as big a fan as other. Polish composer Andre Tchaikowsky donated his skull to the Royal Shakespeare company in hopes it would be used as a prop.
gpt
That is an odd donation. I guess he had the perfect skull for a prop? I wonder what the actors would think. LOL
human
They ended up using his skull in 2008 in a series of performance of Hamlet!
gpt
That is great! the best way to memorialized a man is to use his skull on stage.
human
Shakespeare isn't terribly easy to read. It takes on a different meaning if your accent is modern. It affects the rhymes and puns that don't work with modern pronunciation.
gpt
I struggled with it. the language is different, so different and used so exquisitely that i would need expert explanation to enjoy it.
human
Well a woman named Anne Jones could probably rip through it. She holds the world record for speed reading at 4700 words per minute.
gpt
I wonder how many books she reads a week. That is amazing! I could never do that and remember what i read.
human
I agree. If she read like that in the 18th century they would be outrages. There was a "moral panic" because of the spread of reading novels.
gpt
I stopped panicking about novels long ago, but i know the feeling. Novels??? Anyway, great chat!
