i lose my mind over shakespeare's masterpieces as much as anyone but you know what really gets me sometimes? the fact that some of his writing was just kind of bad.
like! he was a genius obviously we know this but he was also just a guy! a guy writing words! some of his plays are weak! some of his dialogue is stilted and awkward! some of his plot points come out of nowhere and don't make sense!
and that just gets me in a weird way. sometimes i'm in awe of shakespeare's world-changing mastery of writing but sometimes i read a line he wrote and say "wow that kind of sucks actually." and i truly, unironically love that.
he was a human. we're all just humans writing words and doing our best. literally everyone writes shitty things and guess what? they don't define us. it's okay. it's gonna be okay.
