The lady doth protest too much, methinks


"The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a line from the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare. It is spoken by Queen Gertrude in response to the insincere overacting of a character in the play within a play created by Prince Hamlet to prove his uncle's guilt in the murder of his father, the King of Denmark. The phrase is used in everyday speech to indicate doubt concerning someone's sincerity. A common misquotation places "methinks" first, as in "methinks the lady doth protest too much

the part of Claudius. As Hamlet, Gertrude, Claudius and others watch the play-within-the-play, the Player Queen, representing Gertrude, declares in flowery language that she will never remarry if her husband dies. Hamlet then turns to his mother and asks her, "Madam, how like you this play?", to which she replies ironically "The lady doth protest too much, methinks", meaning that the Player Queen's protestations of love and fidelity are too excessive to be believed. The

quotation comes from the Second Quarto edition of the play. Later versions contain the simpler line, "The lady protests too much, methinks". The line's allusion to Gertrude's (lack of) fidelity to her husband has become a cliché of sexually fickle womanhood and a shorthand expression conveying doubt in a person's sincerity, even when the subject is male. As in the play, it is commonly used to imply that someone who denies something very strongly is hiding the truth. It is often shortened to "[

". The line, like most of Shakespeare's works, is in iambic pentameter. It is found in Act III, Scene II of "Hamlet", where it is spoken by Queen Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. Hamlet believes that his father, the king, was murdered by his uncle Claudius (who then married Gertrude). Hamlet decides to stage a play, the "Murder of Gonzago", that follows a similar sequence of events, in order to test whether viewing it will trigger a guilty conscience on

a month later the LPGA announced it had dropped its appeal and settled "all claims and counter claims growing from a dispute between it and golfer Jane Blalock." Blalock refused to condemn her critics, including her former mentor Bob Toski, after her lawsuit was settled. She said to a reporter in 1978 "I should not judge others as they have judged me. Life is too short and there is too much sadness. So I can't clutter my mind with all that other stuff. It makes it hard to concentrate

It was drawn to the members' attention on 20 October 1656 by Colonel Jephson. Chidley was summoned to the bar of the House and the book and letter shown to him: "Who acknowledged he wrote the Epistle; and doth own it, and all that is in it; and owns the Book too, and all in it

Skin (TV series)


Fretts said that redoing Romeo and Juliet in a modern setting was nothing new, but having Romeo's father be a district attorney going after Juliet's porn-king father was original enough that "methinks Shakespeare would approve." Robert Bianco of "USA Today" said, ""Skin" traps a 21st-century Romeo and Juliet between two dirty worlds: politics and porn. Throw in race, religion, and economic disparity, and you have enough problems to keep a soap busy for decades. ...Yet there's

Now, Modernism is the synthesis of all heresies ("Pascendi", Pope St. Pius X). So Ratzinger as a heretic goes far beyond Luther's Protestant errors, as Bishop Tissier de Mallerais said." Williamson added that the documents of the Second Vatican Council "are much too subtly and deeply poisoned to be reinterpreted.

Other errands performed by Chamberlain on his behalf included paying his bills, taking gifts to ladies, and passing messages to his political contacts. Carleton often sought Chamberlain's advice about both political and personal matters: Carleton's usual prescription was patience.

This use develops through the centuries until 1710, when we have Steele, in "Tatler" (No. 207), laying down that "the appellation of Gentleman is never to be affixed to a man's circumstances, but to his Behaviour in them," a limitation over-narrow even for the present day. In this connection, too, one may quote the old story, told by some—very improbably—of James II, of the monarch who replied

Melinda Clarke has said that she became interested in playing Lady Heather because of the contrasts embodied within the character: a multidimensional person who hadn't been seen, a dominatrix who was much more evolved — enigmatic and empowered.

"The Cincinnati Enquirer" describes the tale as “sordid,” “pathetic,” “outrageous,” and “oddly admirable.” Moreover, the "New York Herald Tribune" lauds the narrative’s emotional appeal, going as far to label those who downplay the potent emotion as “heartless or hypocritical.” By the time the book came

Unlike the Catholic who would tend to focus on the external factor. The cause is that Protestant rely too much on correlational evidence without evidence of causality (MacKinnon, 2008). It is also cause by the fact that Protestant have stronger faith and are more aware of the soul's condition than Catholic.]] Instead of speaking of a hypothesis of an actor-observer asymmetry, some

"Methinks" is defective namely in that its past participle, "methought", cannot be used with auxiliary verbs such as "to have", meaning that there is no possible preterite perfect conjugation of the verb. Certain other verbs are defective only in specific constructions. Impersonal verbs such as "to rain" and "to snow

She seems to be the only character who understands the delicate homoerotic undertones in male friendships without being confused or disturbed by them. This lady is Juliet's older sister, who became Robert's lover at a point in the novel. She was uncaring and moved easily from one man to another. She admired athletes
