Shakespeare or marlowe

Who would you really define as the first to change the way we speak, plus which plays, sonnets or books do you like of that period of any writer of that time?

Ted "Theodore" Logan was really the first to change the way that I speak.

I'm...not aware of any sonnets that he wrote.

But I bet they'd be excellent.

I was always partial to Bill S. Preston Esq, myself.

He definitely had some moments of brilliance, but his body of work is so limited that it's hard for me to compare the two.

*ahem*

Elizabeth:

as I swim through this
dark and fearful sea of existence,
surrounded by various creatures --
sharks, eels, yellowtail,
and also barnacles, and algae,
man-o-wars, starfish, blowfish, catfish...

(Oh wait... that's freshwater.)

THE POINT IS,
we told you the future
had some good stuff.
And anyway:

will you marry us?

Linguistically, I couldn't say. But dramatically, there is no one greater than Shakespeare.

Though I'm a Calderon man, myself. Life is a Dream? Brilliant.

Corneille's Le Cid, too.

See?

Excellent.

Most.

Au contraire.

Bogus.

HAH! 'Tis true.

But the marriage proposal wasn't bogus. It was only what happened afterward that was really most non-triumphant.
