Selina was pleased at the way the class was shaping up. First, she got to mention the Aeneid, which was the highlight of the class thus far, and then Cerulean brought up Shakespeare! When Selina was little her mother was over in Australia and working and her father was off playing for the Falcons. With both of them missing Selina found her outlet in books, painting, and Quidditch. But whenever her mother would come home for however brief the time she would give Selina a Shakespeare play to read. Her Mum was adamant about Selina being well read, that was why she learned Latin, so Shakespeare was something Selina knew well.

The redhead with a small smile rose her hand and said, "It's Willy Shakespeare and its one of Hamlet's million speeches in the play. And one of his famous plays and my personal favorite is Much Ado About Nothing. And my favorite line is when Beatrice is going off after Hero gets disgraced at the altar. She complains about men and says- but manhood is melted into courtesy, valor into compliment, and men are only turned to tongue and trim ones too. He is now as valiant as Hercules that only tells a lie and swears it!" Shakespeare had such an eloquent way of saying that men were babies most of the time.
