So as part of my English GSCE coursework i have to write a short story based off of a line from a work of Shakespear. so my question is, what line should i use and what should the story be about?
Plenty of choices, here are some from Julius Caesar: "Come on my left side, for this ear is deaf, and tell me truely what you think of him." "Cowards die many times before their deaths, the valient die but once." "Beware the Ides of March!" "It is not that I loved him less, but that I loved Rome more." "Let loose the dogs of war." Check all of these for confirmation of the particular words, of course.
Well, there is the famous soliloquy from Macbeth: "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
