Zine initial ideas

My main reason for choosing Shakespeare as my author was the massive range of characters that are available throughout his work. I think character will be the primary driving force of my zine, and I'll use a few of these rough ideas to base more developed characters around. I'm aiming to try and express the vastly different natures of all these characters through exaggerated expressions and features.

5 Bits of Information

Disney's The Lion King is a loose adaptation of Hamlet, with less death and poison.

He wrote a curse for his grave, threatening doom on anyone that disturbed his slumber:
"Good friend for Jesus' sake forbear,

to the dig the dust enclosed here:

Blest be the man that spares these stones

And cursed be he that moves my bones."

Theatre critic of 1592, Robert Greene, referred to the then young Shakespeare as an "upstart crow"
Shakespeare created around 1700 words, including "eyeball", "invulnerable", "gossip", and "assassination".

Hamlet and Much Ado About Nothing have been translated into Klingon.
