Shakesphere quote ?

Question

what would be a good quote for an introductory phrase for an essay about shakesphere times?

Answer 1

'O, for a muse of fire, that would ascend

The brightest heaven of invention,

A kingdom for a stage, princes to act

And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!'

This is the beginning of the prologue from 'Henry V' and would be a good introduction because it sets out what Shakespeare, as a playwright, hoped to achieve.

Answer 2

To be or not to be is the question by William Shakespeare from Hamlet.This is surely going to work coz this quote always reminds people of Shakespeare

Answer 3

It would really depend on what aspect of elizabethan times you are looking at.
