Why does shakespeare say'what e're thou art act well the part?

Where is Shakespeare supposed to have said this? I can't find it in any of his works.


What does comest thou hither naught mean?

Absolutely nothing. You were doing fine until the word "naught". "Thou comest" is the singular form of "you come" which is now somewhat obsolete. Reversing the order into "comest thou" makes it a question, as "Are you coming" is the question form of "You are coming". "Hither" means "toward here" or "toward me", although the direction is already implied by the use of the word "come". Thus "Comest thou hither" means the same as "Are you coming here" which is all well and good. But the word "naught" means "nothing", so "Comest thou hither naught" means "Are you coming here nothing." which means . . . naught.


Who is part of the conspiracy in Julius Caesar?

"Caesar, beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius; come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna, trust not Trebonius: mark well Metellus Cimber: Decius Brutus loves thee not: thou hast wronged Caius Ligarius. There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar." The conspirators are: Caius Cassius Metellus Cimber Casca Cinna Marcus Brutus Decius Brutus Trebonius Caius Ligarius


What is happening in the quote They hailed him father to a line of kings Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown and put a barren scepter in my grip in Macbeth?

Macbeth is talking about the witches' prophecy to Banquo "Thou shalt get kings thou thou be none". From this Macbeth infers (although the witches did not actually say so) that his children would not be kings. Macbeth translates "thou shalt get kings" into Banquo being the father to "a line of kings". Well, the witches only said "kings"--they didn't say it was more than two. Then he imagines that none of his children would be kings with a couple of synechdoches: he describes the crown as fruitless (without children) and the sceptre as barren (incapable of having children) when it is the king, himself, which he imagines as fruitless and barren. I cannot hear the phrase "a fruitless crown" without imagining Carmen Miranda. Sorry if I have now put this image in your head.


What does Shakespeare mean by the word just?

Shakespeare's language was English. It is exactly the same language you asked your question in. Obviously, when Shakespeare meant to say "just" he said "just", as in Hamlet "Horatio, thou art e'en as just a man As e'er my conversation cop'd withal.", or in All's Well that Ends Well, "My mother told me just how he would woo."

What was John the Baptist's weakness?

Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?"John the Baptist is still not sure about Jesus. (He's in prison and is soon to die.) He sends his disciples to ask, "Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?" Well, if he isn't sure after seeing and hearing the events at Jesus' baptism, then how can anyone else be?

By telling the speaker that he/she has got the centuries mixed. The question should be 'How art thou?' or 'How are you?'. The answer might be 'I am very well, thank you'.
