The Signs as Female Shakespeare Characters
Aries: Katherine Minola (The Taming of the Shrew)
“If I be waspish, best beware my sting”
Taurus: Viola (Twelfth Night)
“Make me a willow cabin at your gate and call upon my soul within the house,
write loyal cantons of contemnèd love, and sing them loud even in the dead of night”
Gemini: Cleopatra (Antony & Cleopatra)
“Sir, you and I have loved, but there’s not it; That you know well. Something it is I would— O, my oblivion is a very Antony, and I am all forgotten”
Cancer: Cordelia (King Lear)
“I am sure my love’s more ponderous than my tongue”
Leo: Titania (A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
“These are the forgeries of jealousy; And never, since the middle summer’s spring, met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, by paved fountain, or by rushy brook, or in the beached margent of the sea, to dance our ringlets to the whistling wind”
Virgo: Juliet Capulet (Romeo & Juliet)
“Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight. It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden, too like the lightning, which doth cease to be ere one can say ‘It lightens.’“
Libra: Portia (The Merchant of Venice)
“You see me, Lord Bassanio, where I stand, such as I am: though for myself alone I would not be ambitious in my wish, to wish myself much better; yet, for you I would be trebled twenty times myself; A thousand times more fair, ten thousand times more rich”
Scorpio: Beatrice (Much Ado About Nothing)
“But manhood is melted into curtsies, valor into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too. He is now as valiant as Hercules that only tells a lie and swears it. I cannot be a man with wishing; therefore I will die a woman with grieving”
Sagittarius: Miranda (The Tempest)
“O, brave new world, that has such people in ‘t!”
Capricorn: Lady Macbeth (Macbeth)
“The raven himself is hoarse that croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan under my battlements. Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe topful of direst cruelty!”
Aquarius: Rosalind (As You Like It)
“It is not the fashion to see the lady the epilogue; but it is no more unhandsome than to see the lord the prologue. If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue; yet to good wine they do use good bushes, and good plays prove the better by the help of good epilogues”
“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray, love, remember; and there is pansies, that’s for thoughts…There’s fennel for you, and columbines; there’s rue for you, and here’s some for me; we may call it herb of grace o’ Sundays. O, you must wear your rue with a difference”
