> When Shakespeare was dividing up comic relief amount his tragedies, he gave 50% to Hamlet, 49% to Romeo and Juliet, and threw the remaining 1% at all the other tragedies to share

@maryabolkonskys @fweet-prince

You’re both half right-

0.5% went to That One Scene in King Lear

The other 0.5% went to That One Scene in Titus Andronicus where Titus pretends that he totally doesn’t recognize the two guys who are essentially his sworn enemies in minimal disguises pretending to be spirits
