Pondering "Rethinking Thinking"

The instant an idea is put to words and the words are put to medium, the author's true meaning is open to interpretation. What *exactly* did Shakespeare mean by:

A wretched soul,
bruised with adversity
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burdened with like weight of pain,
As much or more we should ourselves complain?

Did he intentionally punctuate this way? When he says "cry" did he mean "sob" or "yell?" We can all guess, we can even come up with proof. But it all comes down to our intuition and "knowing," and as none of us were Shakespeare, can we really, truly know what he meant?

The ramifications of multifaceted thinking to me is that everyone who looks at my final project will take away something different. Each person will find different things more valuable than others, find one idea that makes something click and will disagree with others. If I design it well, using different tactics (as Punya mentioned above, kinesthetic, visual, verbal, logico-mathematical and interpersonal, etc) it will hopefully be useful in different ways to different people, but will be useful in one way or another to all.
