LO: To explore Shakespeare’s
language and develop our
knowledge of Elizabethan
vocabulary.
 The audience make a lot of noise during performances – more like
spectators at a modern football match than a visit to see a play –
cheering, hissing, clapping, booing and crying. You can tell if they
do not like the performance as they will heckle and if they enjoy
it they might start to sing along to any songs.
 Pedlars, or street sellers, go amongst the crowd selling food and
drink to anyone who is hungry or who simply wants to throw
something at the actors. It’s a very smelly place. You may be able
to detect the smell of sweaty, dirty bodies, food and also the
open buckets that are used as toilets!
 Think of different ways you could deliver the
insult below:
 Think about tone of voice, facial expression,
gestures.
 Now let’s have a volunteer to deliver the insult
in different ways.
 Each of you will be given a piece of paper with
an insult created by Shakespeare.
 Even if you don’t know what the words mean,
you should practise saying them a few times.
 Next go around the room, meet a student – let
them insult you. Next insult them.
 Try to experiment with practising different
ways to deliver the insult.
 Which insult was the most memorably
insulting?
 Whose performance was the most memorable?
 You will be provided with an Elizabethan Insult
Dictionary. In your groups, try to work out
what each of the insults mean.
 Write down each of the insults from your table
group and explain how the language used by
Shakespeare makes it so insulting.
 Use the table on the following slide to help you.
Insult What this makes me think/feel
You scullian! You ramparian! You
fustilarian! I’ll tickle your
catastrophe!
Shakespeare has used a list of three
insults which emphasises how angry the
speaker is. All of the terms used show
that this is a person of no morals and
of low birth, since ‘fustilarian’ is the
lowest of all servants. The last line
seems to be phrased like a threat .
The word catastrophe means disaster
and perhaps the speaker is going to
bring a disastrous fate upon the
person.
 Now create your own Elizabethan insults.
 You will need at least two adjectives, and a
noun.
 Use the following as model;
Thou art a (adjective 1), (adjective 2), (noun).
Extension: Experiment with different sentence
structures by looking at some of the ways the
Shakespearean sentences were created.
E.g. (Thine face is as a..........) could be one variation.
What others can you think of?
 Decide in your groups which is the most
effective insult.
 Have one of your group come to the
front to deliver the insult. You must be
prepared to explain to the class what it
means in today’s English.
 Which phrase was the most insulting?

Shakespeare insults

  • 1. LO: To explore Shakespeare’s language and develop our knowledge of Elizabethan vocabulary.
  • 2.  The audience make a lot of noise during performances – more like spectators at a modern football match than a visit to see a play – cheering, hissing, clapping, booing and crying. You can tell if they do not like the performance as they will heckle and if they enjoy it they might start to sing along to any songs.  Pedlars, or street sellers, go amongst the crowd selling food and drink to anyone who is hungry or who simply wants to throw something at the actors. It’s a very smelly place. You may be able to detect the smell of sweaty, dirty bodies, food and also the open buckets that are used as toilets!
  • 3.  Think of different ways you could deliver the insult below:  Think about tone of voice, facial expression, gestures.  Now let’s have a volunteer to deliver the insult in different ways.
  • 4.  Each of you will be given a piece of paper with an insult created by Shakespeare.  Even if you don’t know what the words mean, you should practise saying them a few times.  Next go around the room, meet a student – let them insult you. Next insult them.  Try to experiment with practising different ways to deliver the insult.
  • 5.  Which insult was the most memorably insulting?  Whose performance was the most memorable?
  • 6.  You will be provided with an Elizabethan Insult Dictionary. In your groups, try to work out what each of the insults mean.  Write down each of the insults from your table group and explain how the language used by Shakespeare makes it so insulting.  Use the table on the following slide to help you.
  • 7. Insult What this makes me think/feel You scullian! You ramparian! You fustilarian! I’ll tickle your catastrophe! Shakespeare has used a list of three insults which emphasises how angry the speaker is. All of the terms used show that this is a person of no morals and of low birth, since ‘fustilarian’ is the lowest of all servants. The last line seems to be phrased like a threat . The word catastrophe means disaster and perhaps the speaker is going to bring a disastrous fate upon the person.
  • 8.  Now create your own Elizabethan insults.  You will need at least two adjectives, and a noun.  Use the following as model; Thou art a (adjective 1), (adjective 2), (noun). Extension: Experiment with different sentence structures by looking at some of the ways the Shakespearean sentences were created. E.g. (Thine face is as a..........) could be one variation. What others can you think of?
  • 9.  Decide in your groups which is the most effective insult.  Have one of your group come to the front to deliver the insult. You must be prepared to explain to the class what it means in today’s English.  Which phrase was the most insulting?
  • 10.  Decide in your groups which is the most effective insult.  Have one of your group come to the front to deliver the insult. You must be prepared to explain to the class what it means in today’s English.  Which phrase was the most insulting?

Editor's Notes

  1. Have a student good at drama come to the front – have another student stand there while the insult is delivered. Have the class direct the student to perform it in different ways, contemptuously – looking the student up and down, angrily, shouting – pointing finger aggressively etc. Threateningly – circling and hissing through teeth etc.
