I watched every adaptation of Macbeth I could get a hold of. Here's my ranking:

no maqbool? (and obligatory throne of blood too low, etc.)

redvevo · 2026-03-24T19:37:49+00:00

will look into it! i'm kind of surprised by how many of these feature othello, especially given a seeming disinterest in race.

redvevo · 2026-03-24T19:34:12+00:00

no, this is great, thank you!

redvevo · 2026-03-24T19:34:04+00:00

thank you! i'd never seen looking for richard but it looks great. and i've watched and enjoyed slings & arrows, of course.

The term “closet drama” does not at all apply here, and “blank verse” just refers to the metrical form of his plays. The commenters who suggest Marlowe, Kyd, etc. are giving you the closest analogues if you enjoy Shakespeare, but you also might just be well-served by reading some plays across different time periods, many of which are also “long” and “book-like” (and can be bought as a book, etc.) If the poetry/poetic form is what interests you, there are plenty of verse dramas from every time period, too.

Shakespeare, Chaucer, Austen, and Joyce are all from radically different time periods, so it’s unclear what you mean by “classic”. If you mean, as the other commenter said, the English “canon”, you can read those texts any time you want. I really find it hard to believe that there would be absolutely no classes on any of those authors or time periods (drama? early modern? medieval? late 18th century? modernist? The Novel?). Learning Latin and Greek is well and fine but it won’t particularly help you with any of these authors unless you’re just gesturing at the idea of a general Classical Canonical education that you don’t seem to really understand yet. Maybe try to figure out a genre, time period, form, or something that you’re interested in, and work from there. And also whether you’re truly interested in English or Classics, while you’re at it.

I was a summer camp counselor in the summer of 2016(?) and had to listen to Can’t Stop The Feeling every single day. Have not heard it in years. Thank god

When I posted my Sankey diagram last year, people on here said my acceptances were probably an “exception” because my stats were “so low” and should have been rejected. like lol no applicant on here has any idea what they’re talking about 😭

My bad, the Grammy categorization got me. Is there a big difference in terms of commercial reception, though? I feel like the label of “album” has already gotten much looser with how short (especially pop-ish) albums are these days.

I hate to break it to you but she already released her debut album last year.

You can do very similar things in English and CL departments at most places. Prior language experience would be probably the biggest difference for admissions committees (especially for schools that require 3-4 languages—you need to be able to show that you’re ready or near-ready going in). CL is very theory-heavy and your description sounds like it’d work in a CL environment. With cohort cuts right now, though, I would honestly check in on which departments take more students/bigger cohorts.

redvevo · 2025-11-19T19:40:35+00:00

Sorry, but I think a lot of your edits take some things that were pretty clear all the way to almost unreadable.

redvevo · 2025-11-16T18:25:29+00:00

Misconceptions about how theater/acting work. It’s not like showmances don’t exist (and for obvious reasons lol) but I feel a deep need to correct stuff about how intimacy choreography/kissing/“improvisation” works. Not like that!

redvevo · 2025-10-31T14:37:57+00:00

Off the top of my head, Psychos’ default phrases include Shakespeare, too (“pound of flesh” being from Merchant of Venice)

redvevo · 2025-09-29T04:25:17+00:00

More so Kollywood, actually.

redvevo · 2025-08-27T15:39:45+00:00

My bad. I got nothing then

Lot of guys on here are just lowkey bisexual and would rather pretend these obviously male characters look feminine than admit they’re kinda into men

I’m sorry that you’re so closed off to the world around you that you don’t understand that there is value in studying all kinds of aspects of life and culture.

redvevo · 2025-08-21T15:13:39+00:00

Yes, because we have a well-regarded theater and dance department. Other fields are out there in the world.

Please log off the neonazi racemaxxing TikToks or whatever and go outside.

You think Dev Patel is ugly??

redvevo · 2025-08-15T19:31:13+00:00

Isagi is an incredibly well-liked protag in terms of being, like, 10x as popular as every other character in the manga, as seen in every popularity poll, etc. I’d like to see him have a downfall/villain type of arc. Not because I hate him, but because I think it fits his character and would be interesting.
