Like, no, Shakespeare wouldn’t tweet a sonnet cause 140 characters is a bit short for that. Wrong medium. But you know what he would have? A very active twitter FULL OF DICK PUNS AND YOUR MOM JOKES okay. (And probably also a blog for the sonnets and longer works, that cross-posts links to twitter anyway.) Get out of here with that pretentious anti-technology bullshit. He’d rock the fuck out of memes. Don’t deny it. Exit, pursued by a doge. much run wow I don’t understand people who try to make Shakespeare into a pretentious thing cause he was basically an uneducated dick-joke making dude for the common masses. His historical plays are straight up fanfiction. There’s a scene in Macbeth where two guards are having a conversation as a dude pees on a wall. Get out of here with your Shakespeare snobbery. ALL OF THIS Also, the comment ‘Exit, pursued by a doge’ alone makes this worth reblogging :D Heck, the line that’s based on, “Exit, pursued by bear”, only exists because Shakespeare couldn’t think of any other way to get rid of the character, so opted to have him attacked by a bear, which did not exist in the play before that moment. He literally made a bear appear out of thin air, just to kill off a character, purely due to writer’s block. “And then the bear gets him” “… … The The bear?” “Yes the bear” “Will Will there isn’t a bear in this play Where did the bear come from” “A PLACE And he exits the play pursued by it It’s happening make me a bear costume” “it’s happening make me a bear costume” lmao Shakespeare even wrote Yo Mama jokes, like this delight from Titus Andronicus. CHIRON: Thou has undone our mother.AARON: Villain, I have done thy mother. -- source link
