You may want to try this test again, as it seems you didn't know many of these lines. Then again, who does? Not many. So don't feel bad, but how about another round now you're a bit the wiser?
Well Done!
Good for you! These are NOT common knowledge, and even to guess their intent shows you remember quite a bit from Shakespeare's wonderful plays. Good job!
Terrific Work!
We thoughts we were SO clever with this one. "No one would get more than 10 correct." we thought. Well, isn't our face red (or it would be if there wasn't egg all over it). You really showed some incredible knowledge for lines that have been out of use for a very long time. Our sincere adoration and congratulations!
