And a good Falkirk lad too.

Shame I'd never heard of him, otherwise I might have got the right answer.

The phrase a "green-eyed monster" originated in which Shakespeare play?

Oooh. My favourite subject.

Guessing.

er... Taming of the Shrew?

think this was originally a racial slur so i'll go for merchant of venice

Weyland · Post by **Weyland** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 11:53 am

On the same grounds I'll go for Othello.

Midsummer Night's Dream then. Something to do with Oberon's scheme?

Flying Spaghetti Monster · Thu Jun 28, 2007 12:03 pm

oops that nope was about 5 minutes too slow!

Squelch is almost right, but Weyland has it spot on.

It is almost said in merchant of venice "And shuddering fear, and green-eyed jealousy! O love,Be moderate; allay thy ecstasy"

but first said in full in Othello

"It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on; that cuckold lives in bliss
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger"
