User blog comment:Dark Cyan/Cyan's Rap Battles of Literature 20: William Shakespeare vs Sophocles/@comment-27863968-20160307010921/@comment-28938497-20160307125625

Woo! Actually, proper critique!

1) 'Foul toad' is used as an insult by Shakespeare multiple times, though the quote you mentioned is the most famous one, so that's the only bit I felt important to include

2) Yup, the Aeschylus/escalated thing is delibarate

3) Shakespeare is quite known for unsubtle, racy humor (at the time), especially dick jokes, and Willy is British slang for dick. 'Little tail' is also an innuendo.

4) On the Reversi line, that's the point.

5) First off, I hate writing in meter. I wrote Robert Burns' first verse in Burns vs Byron in Burns Stanza, and even then, though I wrote in meter, I didn't give a flying toss about which stressed/unstressed syllables I was using lol.

Second, this battle is against two playwrights. That's the connection of the battle, so Shakespeare is being treated as a playwright who also wrote poems, rather than a poet.

Everything I didn't mention in this post has been changed. Thanks for critiquing, thanks for enjoying, and thanks for reading! :D
