I "...resemble Shakespeare, Milton, and Donne".

You're socially-savvy, negotiating the death of kings, civil wars, religious controversies, patronage systems, court intrigue -- people would have trouble finding the "real you," if it weren't for the occasional soliloquy that sets us straight. Your plotlines tend to be rather hackneyed -- the Fall of Man, twins and mistaken identities -- but your language is beautiful, seductive, captivating.

"[I especially loved this part (italics mine) -] [P]eople would have trouble finding the "real you," if it weren't for the occasional soliloquy that sets us straight..."
