THEME THURSDAY: WORDS FROM SHAKESPEARE (ZANY): meaning and examples
Hi Daily Vitamin readers! Today's Theme Thursday continues April's theme of Words that Come from Shakespeare. We are looking at the fun word ZANY.
Definition: amusingly unconventional.
Shakespeare used this word in the play "Love's Labour's Lost" with the following line:
"...some slight zany [person] ... to make my lady laugh."
The play is set in Spain and one of the main characters is the King of Navarre. You can read the entire play online at this link:

However, Shakespeare is difficult to read! This page about "Love's Labour's Lost" on Shmoop.com is a great way to better understand this Shakespeare classic.

That's all for today. Thanks for reading!
