Platystemon posted:Shakespeare has honorable characters. They’re the fanservice ones that exist in the histories that no one likes and were written to ingratiate himself with the reigning monarchs. Broke: Hotspur Woke: Falstaff

I really do recommend Henry IV, especially part 1. There's a scene where Hotspur and others keep trying to outdo each other in literally throwing gauntlets down in righteous anger. The characters all buy it as straight, but to the audience it plays out like a fucken Looney Tunes skit. Later, after the climactic battle, Hotspur is dead and Falstaff climbs out if the mountain of corpses he had been hiding under the whole time. He looks down at Hotspur's mangled body and soliloquizes basically, "The honorable guy's dead and the coward lives. How now, bitch?"

You can usually find the Anthony Hopkins version on YouTube and it's definitely worth watching. Other than the acting and writing the visual design is very good.

Shakespeare is more " I will die for puns" more than anything. Dude* loved those puns! or Dudette. There is controversy over who actually wrote a bunch of the plays.

Reminds me of a tweet I once read: French lit: "Is there a meaning to love?" English lit: "Is there a meaning to ambition?" American lit: "Is there a meaning to work?" Russian lit: "Is there a meaning to suffering?" German lit: "No."
