About This Quote

All the world is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer. Shakespeare often used this expression, known as a "phonetic pun," to create a play on words. The original line goes: “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” In this case, ‘stage’ refers to the world, ‘players’ to the people in it. 'Queer' is an old word for 'strange.' Therefore, it can be interpreted to mean “strange or odd in appearance or character.”
