Shakespeare

So, uh, I personally hold a very strong grudge against the William Shakespeare man. I got a B in English freshman year because of him. I also have extreme difficulty understanding everything he writes. The language sucks and then he writes in iambic pentameter. Wow, way to make it worse on me, Mr. Shakespeare. Anyways, we were learning about how he was born in the perfect time period because Queen Elizabeth was a more tolerant of theatre and stuff than Queen Mary and those King guys. His luck has become my demise. All of Shakespeare's works came from the Elizabethan era, or not like all of them, just most of them because Queen Mary made everything art and entertainment related banned. That lucky man. So we're supposed to choose a soliloquy or monologue or something from Shakespeare to act out. My issue is that I don't even know what the words mean, so how am I supposed to act it out? I don't know either. I'm doing a passage from Romeo and Juliet (so typical, I know) of the Nurse because I always thought she was funny. I don't know what she's saying but that's okay.
