Hamlet and Much ado about nothing?

thank you anon!

hamlet: do you have any creative/specific ideas on staging a production of hamlet?

i’m on my school’s fencing team so i would be all over that choreography but i think it would be neat to have HAMLET in SPACE

much ado about nothing: go off about the best female character

QUEEN ANNE in richard iii is the patron saint for women trying to avoid incels just act i when she’s spitting fire at richard is so sexy and also i would be remiss if i didn’t talk about how much i love ophelia.... shes SO underrated...she’s such a beautifully tragic character, i hate adaptions and spin-offs that try to make her headstrong and rebellious!! the whole point of her character is that she’s had people telling her what to do her whole life, her father obviously favors her brother and her brother is so extremely protective of her, she’s let down by EVERY man in her life, and not just that but gertrude is complicit in manipulating ophelia’s entire life, she’s psyched and falsely convinced into thinking that she’s meant to be with hamlet and her first AND ONLY ACT of free will is killing herself, like how powerful!!! how tragic!!! when people make ophelia this rebellious headstrong girl it totally makes her only act of free will meaningless, it makes her fridging arbitrary,,, i just LOVE HER!!! so much!!!!

send me a shakespeare ask!

henry v and titus andronicus?

scream thank u!!!! 

henry v: what is the best monologue/soliloquy?

ohhhhh man oh man this is so hard to choose but obvs hamlet’s to be or not to be is one of my faves!!! also in richard iii in act i.i when richard is standing in the middle of the street and basically spilling the tea i LOVE that

titus andronicus: is there any scene from one of the plays that you can’t stand to watch?

i mean it’s obvious to see why this play correlates to this question and i’ve never actually watched/seen titus andronicus but i really can’t handle act ii.ii-iii in titus andronicus it’s just so icky character-wise and plot-wise when i read it i skim straight over lmao

found out this guy i had a lowkey crush on a couple years ago who happens to be an amazing oboist and whose father happens to be a congressman and whose grandfather just so happened to write the most definitive corporate finance reform bill of the 20th century, graduated upenn in 3 years with a music major and a minor in neurobiology and he’s about to start his phd at harvard literally like 3 days after turning 22. this is so infuriatingly attractive

It was easier for me to empty myself in to the toilet bowl than face the big bad wolf of my trauma. Only one thing mattered when I was busy shoving my fingers down my throat — that I was as empty as I felt, that there was no more poison inside of me and I swear this was coping. There is a moment after you’ve finished and you sit on the cold, hard bathroom floor there is nothing, you are nothing and nothing matters in that moment. My words trapped inside of me, losing my voice from the acid tearing down my walls and letting them swell. I wish my pain would spill out as easy as tonight’s dinner. I wish I could flush it all away into the vastness of this world, wash my hands and carry on. So when the therapist tries to bring the big bad wolf into the room and there is no where for me to empty myself in, she holds my pain in her hands and tells me it doesn’t have to be like this. Sit with the pain and let it digest. The wolf will always be inside of you, he’s only big and bad if you let him be.
