I'm wondering when my ethnicity became an "occupation" all of a sudden... :lol:
Haha, no that wasn't the occupation. It was just one of my first ideas for a fursona, but I couldn't come up with a really good occupation, or really make the character fit in with the rest of Bon Bon in a suitable way. :)

You could be an actor and perform plays by Shakespeare and such.

Oh, that's a good idea for sure, could be something I never tried but it could really be fun.

If you're offering me a job, sign me in, good sir. *corteously bows* would let me get to know you more and make me feel more within the community *purrs* :3

Just think of the possibilities. Perform the role of Romeo, and all the females in the audience will throw their panties at you. :lol:

Um, sorry to butt-in during your monologue, Master Thespian, but that's the wrong monologue if you're holding a skull.

The famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy from Shakespeare's Hamlet, Prince of Denmark occurs in Act III, Scene 1 of the play, as he basically despairs indecisively over what to do with the knowledge that his uncle, the current King Claudius, has murdered his father, the late King Hamlet. The most poplular interpretation I've heard about this soliloquy is that Hamlet is pondering whether to simply end his own life or to push on with his plans to expose his uncle's treachery. At this point in the play, Hamlet's actions have become erratic, a deliberate ploy to allay any suspicions of his actions by making himself appear to be mad (although how much one could call him "crazy as a fox" or "just plain crazy" is always up for debate).

The scene of Prince Hamlet holding a skull doesn't occur until Act V, Scene 1, after Hamlet's first plan to expose the murder failed, and he was sent away to England, presumably to be executed, only to return (by forging the execution order and sending Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to the gallows in his stead). When he returns to Denmark, Ophelia has died as a result of her own madness, and he comes upon a pair of gravediggers, readying a new plot by digging up old bones. This is how Hamlet comes upon the skull of Yorick, a court jester of sorts, whom Hamlet himself remembers fondly. This is the "Alas, poor Yorick.." soliloquy...

But don't worry about it, it's a common mistake, as both monologues are among the most famous of the play (and the "To Be or Not To Be" being among the most famous speeches in literature). People mistakenly mix the two all the time...

Um, did I mention I took a few theater classes when I was still in college?

Nah, just sort of imagine it as a brief pause and fade to dark while Johnny explains the background behind the scene, only to have your scene fade in and resume in full splendor, with the audience suitably educated! ;)

This is interesting. I always thought that this was the "classic" scene, thanks for the information Johnny :) I had no idea that there are two scenes that got mixed up.
