What might be good questions to ask William Shakespeare? For English, a partner and I are supposed to act out an interview with Shakespeare. It needs to be at least 6 minutes long and we've only asked a few questions so far. When and why did you start writing? How was your childhood and growing up? Did any of your life experiences affect your work? Since we are setting the time period as right after "Twelfth Night", we asked about his most recent play. Then we asked for a sneak peek of his upcoming play "Hamlet". After that we can't think of anything else which there are facts for an answer. Help would really be appreciated!

In Macbeth, the pronouns Lady Macbeth uses to speak to her husband change radically throughout the play. For example, in Act 1, she frequently uses the familiar "thou" to indicate closesness to her husband. (For example, in 1.1.54, she says, "Thy letters have transported me.") But later, in Act 2, the formal is inducted, "Why have you left the chamber?" (1.7.29). As David Crystal and Ben Crystal point out, after 1.7, the familiar "thou" is never used again. Similarly, in Julius Caesar, Caesar uses the familiar "tu" rather than "vous" when he, in shock, says, "Et tu, Brutus?" Where else do you find this shift of pronoun use? As modern readers and teachers, do we miss these subtle shifts and does it matter, or not, to our understanding?
