Shakespeare Words

Shakespearean, not stirred.

If Shakespeare wrote it, we've Shmooped it.

Blanket

Invented in King Lear

My face I'll grime with filth,
Blanket my loins, elf all my hair in knots,
And with presented nakedness outface


Oh, blanket—you so fancy, being used as a verb.

Here, blanket just means to cover with something like a blanket. Next time you want someone to tuck you in, just tell them to blanket you, and see what they say.
