Shakespeare in The Carnivorous Carnival

Snicket, Lemony. The Carnivorous Carnival. New York: HarperCollins, 2002.
I've had this on my desktop for a long time now, and it's time to do something with it.  It's nothing very significant, but it's fun.

The Series of Unfortunate Events is admirable for its play with language. In listening to an audiobook of Volume Nine, I came across this delightful section on Shakespeare.

Take a gander—and enjoy!
