And jimmy neutron said to carl wheezer, "gotta blast"
The language that Shakespeare used was significantly different from the English we use nowadays. This can sometimes complicate the reading of his works. Many words that were used in Elizabethan English are no longer in use. Some other still exist, but its meaning and connotation have changed.
Moreover, the Elizabethan alphabet contained 24 letters, less than the 26 we use nowadays, and some of these had slightly different pronunciations.
This shows that the average intelligence is not very smart. In the book, they make the very smart people dumber so that things can be "equal", which you will soon learn, or have learned already.
Equality and fairness are different and they got it mixed up. Equality is treating people the same, or viewing them as the same, no matter their circumstance, but fairness is making sure everyone is the EXACT same, like sharing a pizza, its only FAIR that, between two people, they each get four.
They have confused these concepts.
Hope this helps you out!!
