HI HI intro post because i’d love to make new moots !!

So hii, I’m Gracey, I’m 16, and I’m hoping to study history (and maybe literature) at uni !

Basically I’m obsessed with Shakespeare and history, to be more specific my favourite Shakespeare is King Lear but Hamlet is a close second, and my favourite parts of history to study is 20th century Russia (Gorbachev is the best from that period 😘😘), and the Plantagenets (Edward II loml)

Anyways have a lovely day ❤️❤️

Wake up in the mornin’ feel quite Hamlet-y

Grab my skull, I’m out the door, I’m gonna act real shitty

Before I leave, overthink if I’m on the right track

Cuz if I kill my uncle tonight, he ain’t comin back

hawk tu, brute?

[esinofsardis]

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their bones;

So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus

Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it.

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest–

For Brutus is an honourable man;

So are they all, all honourable men–

Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.

He was my friend, faithful and just to me:

But Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

He hath brought many captives home to Rome

Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And Brutus is an honourable man.

You all did see that on the Lupercal

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And, sure, he is an honourable man.

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,

But here I am to speak what I do know.

You all did love him once, not without cause:

What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?

O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,

And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;

My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,

And I must pause till it come back to me.

~thus spake Marc Antony

hamlet adaptation where upon saying this line, instead of horatio holding up his own hands, he clasps and lifts hamlet’s

[a-book-of-creatures]

In terms of modern adaptations of Shakespeare there’s always room to appreciate the Skinhead Hamlet

[injsiafg]

google claims hamlet was 30 years old but honestly I strongly disagree

[to-spirkly-go]

Not to brag or anything but I’m Italian and I live in Rome and today they performed Julius Caesar on the literal ruins of the Curia of Pompey. aka the exact place where Caesar got absolutely wrecked in 44 BCE. on the anniversary of him getting absolutely wrecked 💅

Hamlet if it was good:

Hamlet - My excellent good friends! How dost thou, Guildentstern? Ah, Rosencrantz! What have you deserved at the hands of Fortune that she sends you to Hell here?

Guildenstern - Hell, my lord?

Hamlet - Hellsinore.
