## how my english teacher ruined skakespeare and destroyed all happiness from the world: part 1

Ok this is basically just a summary of everything that she got wrong and every time she was annoying.

1-She said that Shakespeare wrote “Henry the 3rd…. and maybe Henry the 2nd too”

2-(this is a really small complaint but) she said “a lot of really good and nice people die in the last act of King Lear”. And. I mean. Would you call anyone other than Cordelia “good” and “nice”? Oh yeah, Edmund, Regan, Goneril, Gloucester, and Lear are all such good and nice people.

3- She said that they called Horatio to check if the ghost is real because Horatio’s an expert on ghosts

4- She forgot that Ophelia exists

5- Said that “O’er” is pronounced the exact same way as “or”

6- She doesn’t know the difference between Brutus and Cassius

7- Is aware that Hamlet is 30. Thinks that his mother is 40.

8- Doesn’t know what year Hamlet (the play that she’s supposed to be teaching us) takes place in.

9- Explained what dew is, with the full assumption that a class of 17-18 yr old people have no idea what it is.

10- Said that Macbeth was strong and Lady Macbeth was weak- her only evidence being that Lady Macbeth died first (@sargent-major-jane I think you’d agree with me on this; ie that if a teacher would say this, you’d also be kinda annoyed) (because like) (you too appreciate Lady Macbeth and understand what a great character she is)

11- She called Iambic pentameter “iambic penariter”

12- She keeps censuring random parts because they’re “inappropriate”

That’s all I have so far for the first two weeks of trying to learn Hamlet. More complaints to come.

Hamlet: for my brilliant plan, I’m going to pretend I’ve gone mad.
Edgar: Me too!
Hamlet: cool.
Edgar: *goes outside*
Edgar: *covers himself in dirt*
Hamlet: what...
Edgar: *starts yelling about poor tom*
Hamlet: what are you doing...?
Edgar: *screeches*
Hamlet:
this isn’t what I meant

## coolness level of getting rid of your brother to take his political title

Claudius: 2/10. Very Uncool. I do not support this action.

Edmund: 11/10. Very Cool. I may support this a little bit.
