I wholeheartedly believe ppl should start saying, “But Brutus is an honorable man" instead of "I'm going to kill myself" when something inconveniencing happens

[panthermouthh]

(angriest I’ve ever been in my life) and Brutus is an honourable man

In Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio called Tybalt "Prince of Cats" because there was a book, popular at the time, with a cat prince named Tybalt in it. He was making a pop culture reference. Therefore, I move, that in a modern Romeo and Juliet retelling, Tybalt should be named Garfield.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

would hamlet say six seven: a study

arguments for:

six seven itself has no actual meaning and originates from a clip of a viral song on tiktok, so hamlet's way of pretending to be "mad" could be repeating something widespread but meaningless, like how he quotes song lyrics and idioms (2.2, 430-432; 3.2, 306-310; 3.2 371-372)

hamlet often uses nonsensical, surreal humor, usually ones that appeal to the youth and confuse the older generation, to cope with his despair (2.2, 190-199; 5.1, 204-207)

he puts on the antic disposition partly to confuse claudius and gertrude, which this absolutely would

i don't think hamlet would ever have gen alpha humor, which is the point. he's changed to the point of being unrecognizable in his madness (2.2, 4-1; 316-321)

polonius would try to find meaning in it and come to an entirely incorrect conclusion

arguments against:

hamlet may not have tiktok or even know of this meme in the first place, because he's said to be a stable and well-liked individual prior to the play (4.7, 18-20)

it's actually rosencrantz and guildenstern who would keep saying six seven until hamlet decides to kill them

just read othello by william shakespeare. and they say women think irrationally? this mf realised his fave hanky was missing and immediately thought "I should kill my wife for this."

but noooo, women are overly emotional ones.

hamlet is kind of like if there were a murder mystery but in the process of solving it the detective just starts killing people

[jewishhamlet]

it’s been said before but fortinbras pov really is the funniest thing. imagine you’re waging war on some country because their old king killed your dad and then you walk into their throne room and there’s 4 dead bodies and one guy who instantly says “i can explain”

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

i think pretty much every character in hamlet is equally fascinating but i do kind of feel worst for horatio. imagine you go to your friend’s house to visit over like a college break and while you’re there your friend and his whole family gets murdered in front of you. horatio doesn’t even live there

[miiilowo]

Killing yourself shouldn't kill you. I should be able to die recreationally

~ Hamlet, all the time

[currentlycryingaboutlancelot]

now that im thinking about it, hamlet from horatio’s perspective is so funny. he’s like packing his stupid little suitcase from school, doing homework on the ship over. arrives and is told like “lol watch out for the ghost when you get there!” and he’s like haha ok. then there actually is a ghost and his friend starts going insane. murders his girlfriend’s dad. tries to frame (?) his uncle for murder. unclear exactly what is going on. the uncle might have actually done it but his source on this is a ghost. hopefully his play will figure it out? did he figure it out? oh shit he got captured by pirates. he’s back now though and he’s fine. wait no never mind he’s poisoned and so is his whole family + his dead girlfriend’s brother (girlfriend also died a while back). also his country got invaded while you were there! unclear if you will be able to leave. worst winter break ever

In the remount we get explicitly shown how Ted genuinely cares for Charlotte and wanted more than hook ups with her, and ofc this scene happens in the OG too and I noticed it there as well, but in the remount in this scene Ted looks really pissed when Paul gets close to Charlotte and they're having a realization moment with each other

Ofc Charted isn't meant to be and I've said before if they ever settled down they'd just cheat on each other within a month, but idk, I overanalyzed it

Ted trying to assert dominance to Paul by burning a hole into his skull with his eyes, not realising he's not intimidating at all
