Insults, Shakespeare style.

From the Shakespeare's Insults calendar:

He's a very dog to the commonalty.
(Coriolanus 1.1.25-26)

A citizen, of Caius Marcius (later Coriolanus).


...We think him over-proud
And under-honest, in self-
assumption greater
Than in the note of judgement...
(The History of Troilus and Cressida 2.3.119-121)

Agamemnon, of Achilles, Greece's greatest warrior, whose attitude has become entitled, lazy, and sullen.
