Just read that piece of shit “Macbeth” and I can’t BELIEVE that so many people on this hellsite are sucking Shakespeare’s dick when that sick motherfucker keeps ROMANTICIZING literal murder and fucked-up relationships!
Although few representations of her exist and even if the most popular one is found in the Talbot Shrewsbury’s book, I thought I would illustrate Margaret de Anjou as we see her in the Coventry tapestry, a representation that I especially adore!
Thus, we have a beautiful and especially strong Queen in the foreground and a little further back is… her incredibly devoted husband! XD
it’s always why did you murder caesar and the roman republic is dying now and never how was the assassination of caesar the assassination looked fun was it fun
I just realized something about Twelfth Night even though I’ve done this show 3 (going on 4) times and written multiple school papers about it and stuff.
You know how the whole gist behind the prank on Malvolio is, “This guy thinks so highly of himself, what if we made him think that he, a servant, could MARRY AN ARISTOCRAT???“
And Malvolio, when he reads the letter, is like, "Ya know, it’s not that far-fetched. I heard that the Lady of the Strachy married the Yeoman of the Wardrobe, whatever the heck that is.”
Well, the person who was really the MASTERMIND of this plan was Maria, and she did such a good job of it that Sir Toby married her. So….. in pulling a “what if we tricked a servant into thinking he could marry an aristocrat” prank, she, a servant, married an aristocrat!
Like, I realized the irony of “imagine Olivia wanting to marry a servant!” when she clearly wanted to marry “Caesario,” Orsino’s servant, but I somehow didn’t think about how the very people who were cracking up at the hilarity of Malvolio’s upwardly-mobile fantasies ended up proving his point that it really wasn’t that far-fetched!
“Shakespeare was gay, you know. Do you think a straight man would write a line like “We defy augury”? Get real, James. My three-year-old gay niece knows Shakespeare was gay. So was Anne Hathaway. So was her cottage. So was Julius Caesar. So was Romeo and Juliet. So was Hamlet. So was King Lear. Every character Shakespeare wrote was gay. Except for Titus Andronicus. Titus was straight. Go figure.”
