About Clare Washbrook
Expertise
I can answer questions related to the texts, sonnets or to Shakespeare's life. I can help with historical context and language difficulties. I am a secondary school English and Drama teacher in England and can therefore help current students with the texts which they are studying. DO NOT ASK ME WHERE HE GOT HIS IDEAS FROM! I know that it is a dreadful question to be posed as homework but I have recieved it dozens of times. The answer can be found in past questions.

Experience
I fell in love with Shakespeare at a young age and continue to be enthralled. I have studied Shakespeare to undergraduate level and teach Shakespeare to A-level (age 18). I have performed three of his plays. As an amateur etymologist I am familiar with many misconceptions about the meanings, intent and usage of words in the plays which other people are often unaware of. Educated to post-graduate level. Published and performance poet. Former Journalist, former Editor, occassional Private Tutor. Included in OED as the first writer to use a particular word.

Shakespeare - help with shake spear


Expert: Clare Washbrook - 2/11/2009

Question
In my English class we are getting ready to read Romeo and Juliet and my teacher as well gave us a Shakespearean insults worksheet. We have to pick three insults, and find the meaning of those words. The words i picked were, unmuzzled, sour-faced, and scullion. I have looked everywhere and cannot find the meaning of these words. Do you know of any websites that give the meaning of these words?
Caroline ^_^


Answer
Caroline,

www.google.com (all these words come up on the first page of results)
www.dictionary.com (also has definitions of all these)

Other dictionaries which have these words also come up on a google search for each word.

Just type:  Definition unmuzzled

etc

I hope that helped
