Shakespeare Words

Shakespearean, not stirred.

If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.

Uncomfortable

Invented in Romeo and Juliet

Uncomfortable time, why camest thou now

Slap an -un onto comfortable, and you've got yourself a Shakespeare original. Given the tragic nature of what's going on in this scene (hello, death!), we're thinking uncomfortable was a little more powerful of a word back in the day.
