Listen Shakespeare, I love you, I love your tragedies and your comedies and your romances and your Tudor era propaganda disguised as historical theatre, but listen, I’ve really got a bone to pick with you.
I just can’t get over the fact that you’re the reason everybody seems to think Cleopatra was some stupid party dazzle beautiful goddess queen that was Caeser and Mark Antony’s mantle peice instead of oh, I dunno,
The only pharaoh of her dynasty to actually care about ruling the kingdom and who actually knew the native language and didn’t use her title as a flimsy excuse to party all day
A woman who spent her early days as an exile of the palace and saw the ruin her ancestors had made of Egypt because they never cared about their people
A master propagandist who perfectly utilized her role as a female pharoah to paint herself as the popular female deity Isis instead of Ra (or Horus; it’s complicated) as usual
A strategic prodigy who managed to convince Julius goddamn Caesar to ally with her and throw a coup that god rid of her young puppet king brother (and guys she probably didn’t do it with her boobs, Caesar and her only get involved later on as a political move on Cleo’s part)
Someone described as quick-witted and smart by her contemporary’s rather then pretty or otherwise remarkably beautiful
A ruler who actually listened to the input of her people, we have letters from common townsfolk that would be sent back and forth between the palace and other places around Egypt detailing issues the people were experiencing and how Cleopatra aimed to help
Managed to convince Mark Antony that Egypt was strong enough for it to win over Rome (and it almost did!!!!)
Made that little bitch Octavian/Augustus quiver in his stupid little boots.
Killed herself because she refused to become a plaything in Octavian’s stupid little triumph party.
Like come on guys!!!! Damn it Bill, you didn’t have to condemn her legacy to “a woman with evil hypnotizing boobs” I love you William but for that I must say, fuck you.
