The Hamlet Project

Is there a Shakespeare lexicon App yet?
Probably there’s a limited market. Probably there aren’t legions of people clamoring for something that would be a quick reference for words like truepenny. I’d like to know all the possible associations with True Pennies – but instead, I’ll make up my own. There must have been a run on counterfeit coins so that one had to determine what pennies were true and which were false. A true penny inspired confidence and relief and came to be associated with affection and loyalty. You called someone a Truepenny in the same moment you might affectionately tousle his hair. Your school chum, your son, your familiar servant, your lover, or sure, why not, the ghost of your father.
