Has anyone seen WotL compared to Shakespeare's Scripts?

Had to use SMS abreviations to fit it all in.

I personally haven't, but I would laugh if someone did. WotL's script is a cakewalk compared to the better-known Shakespearean works. If they had trouble with WotL, they wouldn't last scene 1 of Hamlet.

Which is actually quite good.

It uses basically an Alexander Smithonian way of speaking (basically a combination of old and new but is a bit more complicated then that) a term coined for his work on Vagrant Story.
"Moment's anger can revert to joy,
sadness can be turned to delight.
A nation destroyed cannot be restored,
the dead brought back to life."

Well, I knew it was, to put it crudely, a 'halfway house' but I can easily imagine an ignorant halfwit saying it's Shakespeare.

Indeed. I've taken to study some Shakespeare, Marlowe and Chaucer, and the WotL script is pretty much modern english in my eyes. :?

I always thought people called it "Shakespeare" in a way as to scoff at the script (perhaps a knock at Shakespeare's writing style in general). I'm probably wrong though.

I think they thought the script in WoTL was needlessly wordy.
