Maybe I'll change my title to that.  Might make things a little bit clearer.  Even if not, not like I get a ton of people confronting me about it in confusion.

Don't blame that on Shakespeare.  My teacher didn't provide any evidence that that's what Shakespeare was going for.  She didn't provide any textual evidence, so I'm not inclined to believe her.

It's one of his earliest plays, so it suffers from inexperienced writing and inconsistent characters and a young writer just trying to make a play that'd entertain at the lowest form.  It's Shakespeare's Micheal Bay movie.
