If I lived During Shakespeare's Time

I was wondering how everything would be if I lived during Shakespeare's time... so naturally, I felt a compulsion to write a blog entry about that. And, since I haven't made my world famous doodles in so long, I thought this would be the perfect blog to draw as well. (P.S. So, you can tell I got tired of trying to make the drawings look good towards the end. I wish I had artistic skills. It would make this post so much better, but beggars can't be choosers I guess)

1. I would most likely be wearing a beautiful, flowing gown like Cinderella (unless I was a boy). Also, if I was poor I would probably look even worse than when Cinderella dressed as a servant.

Clearly, the left drawing is if I was rich and the right is if I was poor. 





2. If I was a girl I would be married by now... not cool.




3. I would have died of the plague by now.





4. I wouldn't understand the language.





5. I probably wouldn't know how to read.





6. I could go see an actual Shakespeare play. Wouldn't that be wonderful? But then again, the plague combined with unwashed people would probably not be enticing.




7. I could find myself a Romeo.




8. I could learn how to write with those cool quills. I've always wanted to do that. They even use those quills on Harry Potter. AM-A-ZING! But then again, did they even teach girls to read and write? Oh, but how tragic and ironic would it be if they didn't?



9. I would probably stand out because of my dark skin and be ostracized. GASP! I would not like that at all.



10. I would get my shoes dirty with crap (literally) every time I walked outside.




11. I would have to use a chamber pot. No explanations needed.




12. I would get to see the pristine beauty of nature before the industrial era destroyed it. (HA! I knew I could think of something good about this time period!)
