(Actors discuss first folio of Shakespeare)
My problem is that I never know where I must put a comma in English. So I drop one every now and then and hope, it won't do any harm or confuse people. Maybe Shakespeare did the same? ;-)
Is it just me who had to look up the definition of "caesura"? :D
I don't know why Shakespeare put commas in certain places but they seem to have a significant effect on how his text is interpreted.
In German "Zäsur" (=caesura) is a typical vogue term now. Everybody uses it for everything. But 10 years ago I had to look it up, too.
Please don't take my silly comment about Shakespeare's commas too seriously. I was just teasing. :-) I can imagine that Shakespeare used commas to show the rhythm of a sentence. But I can also imagine that the rules for comma usage have changed over the centuries and weren't so strict at that time.
