how, like in this shakespeare we're studying, the intelligent character changes her language choices/type with the different groups of people she talks to.

eg, dumbing down for the servants (to make them feel more equal and comfortable around her)

I do this, but for purely the reason that my intellect is wasted on some people...

I talk and act however I want no matter who I'm with. It's stupid to change behavior to fit better with people around you.

I sorta do the opposite, I like try to sound smarter around people simply to try avoid them judging me further than they already will lol

I don't.

I'm not too intellectual in the first place, so if someone can't understand what I'm saying then they aren't worth talking to.
