„Was never subject long‘d to be a king, As I do long and wish to be a subject“
My colored pencils fan art for Shakespeare Sunday ✨ Drawing Tom’s beautiful face (even with mud on it) and his teary eyes was such a pleasure.
Tom Sturridge as King Henry VI in „The Hollow Crown“ - the softest and most innocent soul. The suffering was real.

How I Read Shakespeare!!
this is a small post about how i read shakespeare, which is not by any means a definite guide, its just how i read shakespeare. hope it helps :)
I have this copy of Shakespeare's sonnets, published by Macmillan Popular Classics, Pan Macmillan.
I first have a read through of the sonnet, and try to understand the lines. I would advise not directly jumping into the poetry guides becuase it is very important that you try to interpret the poem in your own way. What I believe is that the poem is not only about what the poet has to say, it is also about the way you take it into account, so you should always read the poem in your own way first.
Next, I use this website to understand the lines I can't at first. It is a very, very helpful website which allowed me to understand a lot of poems. I read the lines one by one, first the original version then the mordern version. As I go along, I underline and write down the new words I cannot understand, and also some interesting points that are shown on the website like:
you may, of course, use a dictionary for new wourds if you like.
Next, I read the sonnet again, with the meaning in my mind and interpret it in my way, now being able to appreciate the beauty of the Bard's words. Then, I go to this site to read the summary of the poem, incase if I have missed any points. It gives an important insight to the meaning of the poem.
After annotating, I then read the sonnet all over again, taking the meaning, the words and my interpretation in, all of it increasing the beauty of the poem tenfold.
+BONUS: here is a playlist to listen to when you are reading shakespeare.
That's all!
Love, Lizzy
