Shakespeare Words
Shakespearean, not stirred.
If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.
Exposure
Invented in Troilus and Cressida“ | Ajax is grown self-will'd, and bears his head | |
In such a rein, in full as proud a place | ||
As broad Achilles; keeps his tent like him; | ||
Makes factious feasts; rails on our state of war, | ||
Bold as an oracle, and sets Thersites, | ||
A slave whose gall coins slanders like a mint, | ||
To match us in comparisons with dirt, | ||
To weaken and discredit our exposure, | ” |
Exposure might be good in Hollywood, but it's not great in battle. Just saying. P.S. This is another of the many words Shakespeare took from verb to noun. |
