#which is like between the north and south. and isn't interesting enough to have stereotypes

[simptasia]

i dunno where some people get this idea that william shakespeare was like proper and posh. actually i do it’s because his work is considered High Art and thus sooome people get all snobby about it. but like, will was a low class son of a glover from the midlands who slutted around and wrote comedies just as much as tragedies. (and titus andronicus was basically gorn). he loved dick jokes. one of his plays has a “your mom” joke. he was a silly stinky horny goofball. none of this negates the fact that he was also a writing genius that had an epic and profound effect on literature, language and fiction to this day. you don’t have to be serious or high class to be amazing. he was a human being and thats okay

anyways will would adore the lion king

#theres been a history of shakespeare being gatekept from the Lower Classess and hooooly FUCK is that ironic #like theres defo classism at play with these attitudes #william shakespeare didn't have a posh london accent that bicon was from stratford. he was from the midlands #which is like between the north and south. and isn't interesting enough to have stereotypes #anyways he woulda probably sounded like a character from the movie ''the full monty'' more than any poncey queen's english fuckers
