Literary Quote #9: The Merchant of Venice

Antonio:   I am dumb.

                                    - William Shakespeare, "The Merchant of Venice"


Yes, yes, of course I know what he really means by that statement. But my mind is juvenile enough that I still can't read it without chuckling. Especially since I quite agree. Thou art dumb, Antonio.

  2. Antonio? Antonio from The Merchant of Venice?
    Either we imagine him very differently or we are thinking of two different Shakespearean males, methinketh.
