Dear old Shakespeare’s birthday/deathday is coming up this Sunday! To celebrate, I’ve written him a little song.

….OK, I’ve stolen a song from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton and then rewritten all the lyrics.

Happy Birthday, Shakespeare!

Shakespeare, but every instance of “alas” has been replaced with “aw shit”

 “Aw shit, poor Yorick!”

-Hamlet, Act 5 Scene 1

“Aw shit, that love, so gentle in his view,

Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!“

-Romeo & Juliet, Act 1 Scene 1

“O, no! Aw shit, I rather hate myself

For hateful deeds committed by myself.”

-Richard III, Act 5 Scene 3

“Aw shit, poor country, almost afraid to know itself! It cannot be called our mother, but our grave.”

Macbeth, Act 4 Scene 3

“Aw shit, thou hast misconstrued everything!”

Julius Caesar, Act V Scene 3

hamlet is the personification of that “me, an intellectual” meme like

them: “it is very cold”
me, an intellectual: “the air bites shrewdly”

them: my cousin Hamlet, and my son,
me, an intellectual: a little more than kin, and less than kind

them: why seems it so particular with thee?
me, an intellectual: *knows not seems*

that’s literally just the first two examples i could go through the whole play

THE PLOT SO FAR: Cesario (Viola) has just left Olivia, whom he (she) was wooing on behalf of Orsino. Little does he (she) realize that his (her) proxy wooing has been more effective than he (she) thought…

Pronouns, eh?

I love the “I left no ring with her” monologue. It’s funny, wistful, sad, all in one. Here’s Judi Dench showing you how it’s done:

Okay can we talk about Mercutio and Benvolio for a minute please?

Mercutio does not actually die on-stage. He is stabbed by Tybalt, makes a few puns and the odd dick joke (as one would), and then asks Benvolio to help him “into some house”. They go off-stage and Benvolio re-enters a few lines later (suspiciously few, in fact) to report Mercutio’s death.

Benvolio himself then promptly disappears from the play at the end of the scene.

Headcanon that Mercutio’s death was faked and that he and Benvolio are sitting happily on some tropical island together, sipping cocktails and making out.
