Hey, I noticed we've been working together for a while but haven't really chatted. Want to break the ice and share something interesting about yourself? |
|
 |
Sure, sounds like a plan. I’m into reading and lately, I’ve been exploring Shakespeare. By the way, did you know that the expression “break the ice” comes from Shakespeare? |
|
|
Really? I had no idea! That's fascinating. How did Shakespeare use it? |
|
|
Well, he used a similar phrase in the comedy, "The Taming of the Shrew." Actually he is one of the most quoted authors because of his unique expressions. |
|
|
Wow, I never connected Shakespeare to everyday expressions. That's pretty cool. Any favorite quote or play of his? |
|
|
I'm quite fond of the tragedy, Hamlet, especially the "To be or not to be" soliloquy. It's classic! How about you, any favorite Shakespearean work? |
|
|
I haven't delved too deep into his works yet. Always felt they might be a bit challenging for me. |
|
|
Oh, I get that. Shakespeare's language can be a bit challenging at first. Maybe you can try sonnets; they’re a kind of short poem. |
|
|
That's encouraging to hear. Maybe I'll give it a shot. |
