The moral of the story is: always take time to cry for a few hours before making important decisions.

So I’m more or less being facetious here, but this is actually a thing.

Hamlet is genre savvy. Hamlet knows how Tragedies work, and he’s not going to rush in and get stabby without making absolutely certain he’s got all the facts.

Except once he thinks he has all the facts – once he’s certain that it really is the ghost of his father and Claudius really did kill him, he rushes in and stabs the wrong guy, which starts a domino line of deaths and gets Laertes embroiled in his own revenge tragedy and ultimately results in the deaths of nearly every character other than Horatio.

That’s the irony and the tragedy of the story. Hamlet knows his tropes and actively tries to avoid them, and the tropes get him anyway. It’s inevitable, the tropes are hungry.

I want a sticker that says the tropes are hungry so I can put it on my laptop

i met a scholar once who said that tragedies aren’t about a silly “flaw” or anything, it’s about having a hero who’s just in the wrong goddamn story

if hamlet swapped places with othello he wouldn’t be duped by any of iago’s shit, he’d sit down & have a good think & actually examine the facts before taking action. meanwhile in denmark, othello would have killed claudius before act 2 could even start. but instead nope, they’re both in situations where their greatest strengths are totally useless and now we’ve got all these bodies to bury.

whopooh

The tropes are hungry and the hero is in the wrong goddamn story.

I love this post.

How the heck does this gifset not have a hundred thousand reblogs? It’s amazing!

wilwheaton

I reblogged this the other day and wondered why it didn’t have a hundred thousand reblogs. I came back today to see if it had gotten a hundred thousand reblogs, yet, and saw that the OP was upset that somewhere along the reblog train, the credit for the creator had been stripped out. So I’m reblogging with a comment from someone else, who says: “hey! this gifset comes from the music video for All Over by CRUISR! ” Don’t strip credit out of reblogs, y'all. That is not cool.

Translation: America can’t celebrate 100 years of female suffrage until 2065

gehayi

Actually, the last picture is wrong. According to History.com, the last state to guarantee voting rights for Native people was New Mexico in 1962.

Oh, and “language minorities”– the Mexican Americans of Texas and California, Puerto Ricans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Alaskans, Hawaiians–got the right to vote with the 1975 extension to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Before that, the Voting Rights Act didn’t apply to them, legally. Even then, their right to vote came only after court challenges in the 1980s and 1990s.

Also, there’s this:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 helped strengthen the voting rights that Native people had won in every state. However, the act is no longer fully intact. In 2013, the Supreme Court’s decision in Shelby County v. Holder dismantled one of its key provisions, which required that states with a history of racial bias in voting get permission before passing new voting laws. In the week before the 2018 midterm elections, North Dakota’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of a new voting requirement that may prevent hundreds of Native residents from voting.

Based on this, America won’t be able to celebrate a hundred years of female suffrage in 2065

It’s 2019 and America doesn’t have universal female suffrage.

Or, in fact, universal suffrage.

Don’t forget CBS just rejected a marijuana ad for the super bowl but aired an opiate commercial in 2016 along with hundreds of alcohol commercials throughout the years.

How is that renowned Republican brand working for you? The pictures above are a reminder of past and ongoing Republican actions and inaction so that people will remember them when they get ready to vote.
