guess we're doing shakespeare now

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

At court being tried for first degree murder: your honor the prosecution just hates me because my trauma responses aren’t pretty and palatable

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

oc concept: magical princess who hates her (abusive? helicopter? both?) mother and because of the way their magic works, when she gets an injury her mom feels the same pain (though not the actual injury), which means SELF HARM!!!!! AS A DEFENSE TACTIC!!!!!!!!!!

of course the Symbolism is that children are an extension of their parents so damage to children is just like hurting their parents directly and people think that this is a wholesome expression of love. and it is love. it is however not good for anyone. and okay well k that's all great but WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE AND IS THERE ANY PLOT AT ALL

shout-out to characters who let their childhood friend situationship dictate the course of their life to a degree that spits in the face of any and all reason. they're doing important work.

sacrificed hw today to go watch richard the third live with my english class easily one of the best decisions i have ever made it was soooo fun. he really strides on stage and goes HELLO; I AM EVIL AND YOU WILL ENJOY IT. and i did! also very difficult to take everyone calling him ugly seriously as he was played by an unbelievably dashing butch woman i would have married him instantly sorry anne for betraying you like this you deserved better.

they chose to do a super-fast narration+play of the entire henriad beforehand so you get to watch richard fucking stab henry to death sobbing with fury while he gets cursed forever and ever while the lights go down and then everyone clears out and THEN he comes back to do his opening monologue and i didn't realize before looking at wikipedia that that isn't how richard iii is always performed and now i don't know how else i could ever experience it again

ALSO after his failed attempt to get elizabeth to let him marry her daughter elizabeth pecked him on the mouth in victorious spite to mess with him and then left while he was visibly reeling with WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE FUCK
