Reblogging this because now I have a version that’s not geo-blocked (thank you Chocola!).

My favourite highschool thing ever was in our english lit class reading of Hamlet and we all had to play different characters and partway through everybody started reading it like a porno with breathy moaning voices and the dude playing the queen spoke in a drunken alabama accent and the teacher told us we were awful and that shakespeare would have wanted it that way

The day frowns more and more—thou’rt like to have
A lullaby too rough. I never saw
The heavens so dim by day.
[Storm, with a sound of dogs barking and hunting horns]
A savage clamour!
Well may I get aboard!—This is the chase;
I am gone for ever!
[Exit pursued by a bear]
Antigonus famously exits “pursued by a bear” in Act 3 Scene 3 of The Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare. (via oupacademic)
Of course I’ve gone mad with power. You ever tried going mad without power? It’s boring. No one listens to you!
Macbeth, probably (via incorrectshakespeare)
