How to Mess With a Feisty Kitten

"How to Mess with a Teacher" is the title of this chapter's epigraph. It's a quote from Shakespeare's play Hamlet, in which Hamlet complains about his teacher's treatment of him. Hamlet asks his teacher to stop acting like a teacher and to treat him like a student. The teacher refuses, saying that he needs money and that there is a new medicine for treating hinata that might work, but he doesn't know what to do with it. Hamlet tells his teacher that he's not worth his time and that he won't pay him for it. He wants to pick a fight with the teacher. He tells the teacher to leave him alone and to stop yelling at him. He says he'll pay the teacher for the time he spends teaching him how to speak correctly. He's annoyed that the teacher is trying to thank him for the money he gave him, but the teacher says that he will just do what the teacher wants him to do. Hamlet says he hates the teacher and that the man is half-heartedly trying to make him feel better, but that he is nothing more than "a slut" .
