1. Courage

   The line "A tower of strength" is from Richard III, but originally featured elsewhere
2. Madness

   "That way madness lies" is from King Lear, but how has its meaning changed over time?
3. Grief

   What does "at one fell swoop" mean now and what did it mean in Shakespeare's time?
4. Love

   "The course of true love never did run smooth" is a perfect summary of love
