Hostile;3916912 said:How dare you butcher Hamlet. The correct quote by the Queen is...
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
Also, if you look it up "protest" in Early Modern English, the language of Sir William Shakespeare, you will find that it does not have the same meaning as today's word. It means a vow, in this case of affirmation, not denial. Hamlet asks the Queen how she likes the play and she says those words speaking of a female character in the play who is not showing her true feelings.
1. I was typing in a hurry before heading to work.
2. Since Willie had no experience with the internet, I choose this time rather than his time and the meaning applies now.
But more important Hos, there is a film coming out in the fall called Anonymous.

This looks brilliant, and since we were discussing Willie, pertenant as well.
