The Best String of Insults

King Lear

William Shakespeare

Act 2: scene 2

KENT
Fellow, I know thee.

OSWALD
What dost thou know me for?

KENT
A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats;
a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited,
hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave;
a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson,
glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue;
one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a
bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but
the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar,
and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I
will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest
the least syllable of thy addition.

OSWALD
Why, what a monstrous fellow art thou, thus to rail
on one that is neither known of thee nor knows thee!

Lovecfraft, Shelley, Stocker & Cinema.

Lovecraft, who died in 1937, hated the movies. In the same year that he wrote “Mountain of Madness”, Universal Pictures released “Frankenstein” and “Dracula.” Lovecraft walked out of “Dracula”, and says the only reason he didn’t do the same with “Frankenstein” was out of respect for Mary Shelley. Cinema, he wrote in a letter, “cheapens and degrades any literary material it gets a hold of—especially in the least subtle or unusual.”
