Shakespeare Words

Shakespearean, not stirred.

If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.

Scuffle

Invented in The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra

Which in the scuffles of great fights hath burst

When someone scuffs, he shoves and pushes something aside, so it's not too much of a hop, skip, and a jump to get to scuffle, in which the clowns actually mess around with one another.
