Picking up hot girls by telling them in great detail why Shylock from The Merchant of Venice was in the right and isn't a villain
okay but why is every shakespeare character so terrible at due diligence. for instance:
- romeo: make sure your lover is dead before killing yourself
- hamlet: make sure you're stabbing the right person before you stab them
- othello and posthumus: when someone says your wife is cheating on you, maybe before murdering your wife you should talk to her, or, failing that, at least one other person (in posthumus's case, someone who is NOT the man you made a bet with that he couldn't get your wife to sleep with him, and in othello's case, someone who is just. not iago)
- bertram and angelo: maybe check who someone is before you have sex with them?? so that you won't end up having sex with the wrong person??? maybe??????
- why does no one ever recognise their lovers when they are in
disguisedrag. portia literally makes a speech in a courtroom and her husband doesn't realise it's her simply bc she's dressed as a male lawyer. what the fuck - julius caesar: when someone tells you to beware the ides of march maybe BEWARE THE FUCKING IDES OF MARCH
- the comedy of errors: don't give both of your identical twins the SAME FUCKING NAME
