Ay, me!
Wherefore art thou, Brian?
I'm over here
Brian it doesn't mean "Where are you?"
I'm not asking "Where are you?"
"Wherefore" doesn't mean "Where"
What does it mean then?
I don't know actually
It's like someone should do a "Shakespeare English" lesson on YouTube or something
Brian!!!
When people study Shakespeare,
usually they get quite afraid or "afear'd"
Why? Because there are all these strange new words
Well they're not new, they're really
really old. And now we don't really use them
Some we do that we'll talk about
that later
So what do they all mean? Well let's start
with the pronouns thee & thou. They both mean
"You" but we use them in different
situations. For example
Thou that's when you is the subject of a
sentence. For example:
Notice how he said "Thou" or "you" ART beautiful"
and not "Thou are beautiful"
It's because verbs were different too.
The verb "Are" back then was "Art". That's why "Thou ART beautiful"
