i read this for my british cultures seminar. i probably should have done some research BEFORE reading this because i didn’t know anything that was going on or who anyone was supposed to be. it was fine, but i would not have read it if not for an assignment.

I love that "two stars keep not their motion in one sphere" is the Shakespearean version of "this town ain't big enough for the two of us"

一直认为莎士比亚很厌女,这部算是厌女的小巅峰吧。

Falstaff > the 2 Henrys not gonna lie... the son was kinda just motivated by like "wow I'm gonna be so cool when I'm king!" and the dad is just... not good at being king...
