Post #11: What a Piece of Work is Man

In Act II, Scene II, Hamlet says "what a piece of work is man." I'm pretty sure he means this in a fairly reverent way, implying that humans are exquisite, but I always read it as: man is complicated and difficult to deal with. But this term was coined (according to Merriam-Webster) in 1928, so I don't think it was what Shakespeare meant. However, the reading still makes sense.

Fair is a place where you get cotton candy.
