OK SO

I was casually on sparknotes because I wanted to see how they translated Edmund’s soliloquy, and-

The original line:

-strongly worded

-bold

-makes him sound like he could definitely succeed with his plot

The new and improved line:

-what

-he sounds like a child

-I’m literally picturing 10 year old Edmund now

part 2 of the great discovery of sparknotes:

Original line:

“oh you’re into that now?”

New and improved line:

“you’re wasting your time with that? Really? You absolute idiot.”

ya know Edgar and Edmund must have gotten their acting gene from their mothers, because Gloucester can’t act for the life of him. 

to make up for that last bad take I posted, here’s a slightly better take: Hamlet and Edmund have the same to do list-

Step 1- want revenge

Step 2- start working on your revenge 

Step 3- forge a letter from your relative than might lead to some people getting killed

Step 4- hell yeah! You got your revenge!

Step 5- get killed

King Lear, but it’s an Among Us AU where Edmund accuses everyone of being the imposter until Edgar and Albany figure out Edmund’s actually the imposter and vote him out
