This month's prompt for Listra's Play Monthly Meme, as a part of Let's Read Plays event pick the easier topic so far:
Memorable Quote
When
Lucentio decided to disguise as a school teacher to approach Bianca, his
servant Tranio—knowing that Lucentio would soon bury himself into books—advised
his master to put pleasure too into consideration:
“No profit grows where is no pleasure ta'en.
In brief, sir, study what you most affect”
And I am
100% agree with Tranio. Every job, every task, would never bear any decent fruit
if we don’t love it. Maybe with a severe determination, we could achieve
something from tasks we loath, but in the end, is it worth? It would only
desperate us.
Bless us
all, book bloggers who love to read books, and put huge efforts to write
reviews, to host events, and to patiently maintain our blogs, only to gain
satisfaction in the end! :)
As this meme
is about quote, I’ll include this post in my 20th Weekend Quote, a

"Fair Shakespeare lover"? Thou liest, Lady, for I'm neither fair nor pretty, although a lover truly.
ReplyDeleteI've never read the play. So, I can't give any decent comment. But isn't Tranio a funny guy? I have a feeling that he is. :)
Tranio isn't very funny, he's rather smart than funny, I think.
DeleteThe funniest one is Petruchio's servant (Grumio's the name, I think).
