“To both these sisters have I sworn my love,

Each jealous of the other as the stung

Are of the adder”

see this is why edmund gets that free shout-out on TVTrope’s “sleeping their way to the top” page

I don't know if you're that hyperfixated on King Lear or Edmund, specifically, anymore but I'm planning writing an essay about comparing my thoughts about my biological father to Edmund's on Gloucester ( me and Edmund both be rocking the bastard title but I'm fortunately not treated as such <3 ) so if you ever see the link to an essay about such a topic; it's me :p

Im perpetually obsessed with Edmund and would gladly love to read any essay that so much as mentions his name <3

wow okay so i finished reading titus andronicus a few days ago, and i just finished watching an adaptation of it. and. i. i have so so so many thoughts, but lavinia stands out. i see myself in her so much. i could send an essay into your inbox but i want to know your thoughts on her first !! so sorry this is incoherent i’m in shock of how good titus is. why do people think it’s his worst play there are so many layers

aaaaaahhhh I’m so glad you love her!!


please do send or tag me in any essay you write– I’d love to read it!

Lavinia is just so tragic. I haven’t seen any productions of Titus Andronicus but I’d love for one to be staged in a way that makes it clear that Lavinia fought back. Give me a Lavinia who bites off a few fingers when they cut out her tongue.

I want a violent lavinia. I don’t want a perfect victim. give me a lavinia who, when titus is killing chiron and demetrius, gets involved in it somehow. She can still kick. She can still hold a knife in her teeth. She doesn’t have to be excluded from the violence.

The daughter of a roman general can be involved and avenge herself

I don’t think I’d be so set on this staging if she wasn’t right there in that scene. Like she’s there gathering the blood. She could be more involved in the murder too I think

anyway good luck to mincemeat tonight at the tonys

“edmund seduces the lear sisters” I mean barely. for the most part he’s just standing there and they’re taking action to romantically pursue him

give women credit for taking initiative

but what if… evil found family

ah yes, that thing people do when they plot a murder. They go and write “I’m gonna kill this guy”. and then sign their name on it. just so that everyone can know who’s doing the plotting

also three days into a corporate job and I’m so positive this isn’t something I wanna be doing. get me outta here I wanna work in theater

mistyped ‘playlist’ as 'playlust’ and yknow. that’s not wrong.

king lear is just an extended psa for why reading other peoples’ mail is a felony

saintsebastiensbf:

Ive posted about this a hundred times and I’ll post about it again

the fact that edmund knew that if he were to hold a letter, gloucester would demand to read it– the fact that edmund knew that no matter how reasonable of an explanation he could give, gloucester would assume the worst–

edmund and edgar both profiling each other incorrectly

edmund stating that edgar wouldn’t suspect anything because he’s too good and too innocent to suspect someone plotting against him

edgar knowing immediately that whatever’s going on must be someone’s intentional scheme to harm him, but not suspecting that edmund was the one behind it

both of the gloucester brothers being wrong about each other, SPECIFICALLY by their beliefs that the other is a good and honorable person

now for some reason I doubt that
