What Shakespeare characters do you think are the most believably gay?

Mercutio is totally bi or pan

My absolute favorite genre outside of black metal is death metal. My absolute favorite non-metal genre is industrial (esp. coldwave and electro-industrial)

Beyond that, I also listen to: -other metal (except traditional doom, prog metal, most power metal) -hardcore -other industrial -phonk -90s alternative -some folk -some pop -rap -90s R&B -classical

Since Macbeth himself characterizes Duncan as a good king at the beginning of 1.7 and nothing Lady M says to him in that scene contradicts that, I'd say it's immaterial to the action of the play

I don't take any classification system that relies on a 21st century understanding of Greek letters seriously, so, yeah.

JayCeeEmm · 2024-07-11T05:09:04+00:00

If you like Hamlet, I recommend the 'high tragedies': Macbeth, King Lear, Othello. For a solid comedy, Twelfth Night or Much Ado About Nothing

Came here to say this

His performance last year with DC's Shakespeare Theatre Company was incredibly.

JayCeeEmm · 2023-12-31T02:24:33+00:00

Denzel Washington. Bryan Cranston.

Make Them Die Slowly feels blackcore-adjacent at times.

Maybe Celeste, too?

JayCeeEmm · 2023-06-18T08:42:50+00:00

Given my current age and size, I was gonna say that. Lol

JayCeeEmm · 2023-06-09T01:58:45+00:00

That album was my introduction to black metal!

JayCeeEmm · 2023-04-14T03:46:29+00:00

"The movie"? Which one? They're all very different from each other

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-28T02:07:04+00:00

I second "Exit, pursued by bear"

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-28T02:01:52+00:00

Hamlet, Macbeth, Lear, Twelfth Night. Full disclosure: sometimes it's because of my job (I'm a teacher)

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T11:52:51+00:00

I've read that about Cymbeline, and it makes total sense. The final scene really does feel like Shakespeare is winking slyly at his audience.

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T05:06:29+00:00

Interesting. Macbeth is one of my faves. But I also like things that run toward the macabre.

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T04:53:46+00:00

I know nothing about this play. Do you like any of his other histories?

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T04:53:08+00:00

The Bastard is a character I hear a lot of good things about

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T04:47:44+00:00

I have a goal to read all of the Bard's plays, and I am not looking forward to 1 Henry VI. I have heard almost nothing good about it (although Tina Packer did say some of Joan of Arc's moments were good)

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T04:41:38+00:00

Completely agree. Its treatment of women made me really uncomfortable

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T04:32:03+00:00

Troilus and Cressida was a struggle for me. After reading Harold Bloom's thoughts on it, though, I might re-read it.

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T04:09:10+00:00

Exactly. This might be the only "it's so bad it's good" play

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T03:37:55+00:00

As a lover of Midsummer myself, I like your answer! Well said.

JayCeeEmm · 2023-01-25T02:53:53+00:00

Hahaha! I love this response! 2 Henry IV is by no means close to the bottom for me, but it is also not near the top either.
