And what about Shakespeare's missing fathers? What about Henry 5's funeral being the first scene of his son's plays? What about Coriolanus becoming a missing father after his own father is missing? What about Helena's father, who gave her the power to heal the king and start the plot? What about Olivia's dead father and Viola's dead father? What about King Hamlet? What about all the children who can't grieve and can't even revenge themselves? What about the missing fathers?

#Shakespeare #henry iv #coriolanus #all's well that ends well #twelfth night #hamlet #someday I'll write about the parents that are actually in Shakespeare and then you'll see. you'll all see #also is it true that Antonio is Beatrice's father?? wild #let helena and olivia and hamlet and goddamn henry 6 be sad about their dead dads 2k24 please #also there's definitely something to be said about aaron and tamora and chiron and demetrius but we so do not have time for that rn
