prokopetz:

It doesn’t really come across to modern audiences, but one of Shakespeare’s signatures is having characters rapidly switch registers from very formal to very informal speech, or vice versa, sometimes in mid sentence. It’s not true of every one of his plays, but in a lot of his plays, you need to understand that what you’re looking at is the Elizabethan equivalent of the way people talk in a Bill & Ted movie.
