Plot
[edit]It's interesting that the plot section suggests that Henry Fool (Shakespeare?) is an untalented Rogue when almost everything he says is touched with brilliance. On the other hand, Simple Simon Grim (perhaps of the fairy-tale fame?) seems like a monosyllabic moron. Everyone with "taste" hates Simon's poem, but the great unwashed love every bit of it. And of course Henry is not understood or appreciated.
Henry: "Is it some kind of measure of a man's worth to drag what's best in him out into the street so that every average slob with some pretense to taste can poke it with a stick?"
Simon: "Maybe it is."
Tell me that Henry's complex and grammatically correct sentence is not poetry. As much as anything else, this film is about how talent goes unrecognized and unrewarded.
It is not poetry, and the talk page is not for discussion of the article's subject matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.65.70.252 (talk) 14:41, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
