sure, maybe not everything is about gay sex but coriolanus by william shakespeare absolutely, unequivocally is about gay sex, actually

We learn that in the mid-17th century Shakespeare came to be associated with the Royalist cause after King Charles read and annotated his folio of the plays as he awaited trial. According to the staunch Parliamentarian John Milton, Charles drew inspiration from Shakespeare’s villainous Richard III. Next to a copy of Milton’s Eikonoklastes (1649), we find an exhibit dedicated to The Misery of Civil War (1680). An adaptation by John Crowne of Henry VI, Part 2 and Henry VI, Part 3, it was performed after Milton’s republic had collapsed, the monarchy had been restored and the theatres had reopened. The hurly-burly’s never done.

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.

Also: Clown....And hear me out but, the mask with the hat and shades is giving 'If Easy E joined the Insane Clown Posse' vibes

Hamlet and Ophelia themed candle. This one is very sweet smelling - almost too sweet.

Consunto da fatica, corro presto a letto

caro ristoro al corpo distrutto dal cammino;

ma allor nella mia testa s’apre un’altra via

a stancar la mente or che il mio corpo ha tregua.

Svelti i miei pensieri da lontano ove dimoro

volgono in fervido pellegrinaggio a te

e tengono spalancate le mie palpebre pesanti

scrutanti quelle tenebre che il cieco sol conosce:

ma ecco che la vista immaginaria del mio cuore

presenta la tua ombra al mio sguardo senza luce,

che, simile a diamante sospeso nel buio più nero,

fa la cupa notte bella e il suo vecchio volto nuovo.

Così di giorno il corpo, di notte la mia mente

per colpa tua e mia non trovano mai pace.

Shakespare conferences are fucking bonkers. I just got out of a plenary panel on accessible humanities pedagogies in ecological crisis and now I've got an hour break before the drag show.

> be me

> get bored

> decide to read some shakespeare since you've seen quite many posts about his plays on your dashboard recently

> pick macbeth

> get to the prophecy of the second apparition

> read it in the translation

> in your language "the power of a man, for none of woman born" is translated the way that it also reads as "for none born as a woman"

> you were lured into shakespeare by tumblr, so naturally overlook the correct meaning in the favour of the second one

> read till the end and realize you're a total idiot

> delete tumblr

the staging we deserve

“I hate you because if I didn't, I'd love you. But love, love is weakness, and I'll never be weak again.” sometimes the dialogue in supernatural fucking slaps

after all these years of listening to his voice my nicholas boulton radar is so powerful that I clocked him one sentence into his role in this radio play adaptation of lady windemere's fan (he plays cecil graham and I'm fairly sure it's the naxos production, for anyone who might be interested! martin sheen is also in it as darlington and does a great job)

I like the name Lepidus actually. It sounds cool.
