first things first here’s a uquiz

which of my many many shakespeare dream roles are you

[apatheticfluorescence]

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

Shakespeare is like this

[froldgapp]

My school went to The Globe when I was a kid and the guide said something that always stuck with me. It was in the direction of: "Strangely, Shakespeare is now accused by many of being the master of cliche–utterly unoriginal. Uninteresting. But it's only because he was so successful at his craft that he drove these stories in front of us and cemented them in our collective consciousness."

hamlet is so funny all the time. horatio being like ghosts aren’t real. i know this. i know ghosts aren’t real. i am a real mature student who goes to school and studies real mature things so i know ghosts aren’t real. i know this because i go to school. gets to denmark and the guards are like oh you go to school??? thank God we need someone who learned how to talk to ghosts

"shakespeare's pretentious!" "shakespeare's boring!" "shakespeare's confusing!" "shakespeare's just sex jokes!" "shakespeare's —" shakespeare is whatever the hell you want it to be. shakespeare knows no bounds

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

hamlet’s “i did love you once” and ophelia’s “indeed, my lord, you did make me believe so” is such an underrated gut punch. it’s betrayal it’s heartbreak it’s vulnerability it’s so over. truly no one is doing it like shakespeare

[lipstickhamlet]

hands down the funniest moment in the entire henriad is at the end of richard ii when bolingbroke is like "has ANYONE seen my gay and stupid son whom i haven't seen in 3 months. i'm getting brain damage from pissing myself off thinking about him" and hotspur is like "☝️i saw him getting shitfaced at the tavern and when i told him you're king now he was like lmfao who gaf" and bolingbroke is like "FUUUUUUUUCK i hate that piece of shit. BUT it's not joever yet, hopefully things will be better soon! 😊☝️" and then aumerle enters to beg for his life after his plot to assassinate bolingbroke got uncovered
