    15 (in order) Shakespeare lines for memorization

    Hello, everyone. So, here we go. My first time on the Literature Network Forums..

    Anyways, I'm a high school sophomore and a few weeks ago, I was sick and dealing with family trouble. As a result, I was absent from school for about... five days. Such absences really did egregious damage to my theater grade. She gave me a piece of paper that gave me options to make up, and I wrote several great essay, but technology being its stupid self; had all of those files erased.

    After that, I was really discouraged to do anymore work and I'm also a procrastinator. So, here we are, with only a few days prior to the ending of the school year and one of my make-up options to memorize 15 lines of Shakespeare. So, any recommendations? Consider the little time that I have, I'd appreciate some responses A.S.A.P., thank you! Merci!

    I'm afraid that I haven't read enough Shakespeare to nominate 15 good lines, but good grief--you should have been able to memorize pretty much any 15 lines in the half hour it took me to see this and respond, let alone the time it will take to get a proper reply. Go to gutenberg.org, pick a play, pick a spot in the play, and start absorbing.

    What exactly happened to your files? If they were just accidentally deleted, you may be able to get them back without too much trouble.

    Shylock:

    Hath not a Jew
    eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions,
    sense, affections, passions? – fed with the same
    food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the
    same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed
    and cooled by the same winter and summer as a
    Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If
    you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do
    we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not
    revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will
    resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what
    is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a
    Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian
    example? Why revenge! The villainy you teach me I
    will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better
    the instruction.

    Act 3, scene 1
