maybe i'm just a grumpy english major but i feel like a lot of the "lol people think shakespeare is pretentious but actually his plays are just dick jokes and swordfighting" posting can verge into "lol what if the curtains are just blue" territory. yes shakespeare plays are full of those things AND they are also profound and complex and thematically rich. people spend their careers analyzing them for a reason, actually. it's not just dick jokes all the way down. and sometimes people spend their careers analyzing the dick jokes. stop trying to pick one side of the dichotomy between high and low culture. it's both. it can be both.

Ophelia by Jean-Baptiste Bertrand (1872)
when they say shakespeare is inmortal and eternally relevant what they mean is that he was making one brain cell jokes in the 1600s
And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”
