Predictably, I pre-ordered the queer(er) contemporary retelling of the Henriad. I love the prose; it's trenchant and funny and the fact that the author did an MA thesis on medieval English kingship (!) only helps.

Rip Shakespeare you would’ve loved It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

people asking why Shakespeare is relevant. well, when someone drops the line "Thou art a villain" and the other person bites back with "You are a senator", I think it's pretty relevant

You know, everyone calls you 'nice.' But that's not the word. You're good. So good you have no idea how good you are.

So there was one time that we were in a homeschool group with around 30 kids of all different ages. Anyways, we were split into groups and my age group was so small that me and my friends ended up being put in the teens group of 13 or older when we were 11.

The thing is, that semester we were doing a Shakespeare course. The goal was to read and study one of his plays in depth(we decided on King Lear) and to read the rest of them on our own time. It wasn’t mandatory but you got prizes at the end for however many plays you read. Me being the pretentious child I was decided to read the entire other 37. And I did in the span of about 3 months. My teachers didn’t believe me at first when I went in and marked off six plays after only a week. They tested me on it, but I got all the questions right.

Okay, Shakespeeps, I really want to know if more of you are watching/have watched The Diplomat, because its protagonists are named Hal and Kate (!) and they are as follows:

Hal: stupidly brave, possibly a genius, a wife-guy, sometimes also a terrible person, so charming that you almost don't notice when he's being an asshole, far more principled than he initially appears to be, and (to reiterate) profoundly devoted to his wife.

Kate: extremely competent, extremely intelligent, extremely cute but resents having this pointed out, deeply attached to but also ambivalent about her weird and charismatic husband, also unsure about her new and important political job in England.

So, even while the plot of the show does not closely follow either the events of the late Hundred Years' War or Shakespeare's Henry V... you can see why I am intrigued by The Parallels.™ Also, they're hot.

#shakespeeps #the diplomat 2023 #the diplomat #i WILL keep trying to get more people to yell about this show with me #...or just join me in a queer meltdown about these two. either one really. #rufus sewell #keri russell #so many good cheekbones

I don't know, it's like I look at you and suddenly the sonnets makes sense.

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
