My honored lords
My most dear lords
OMG okay so here is a story
I spent many years being all like "Dude, Macbeth is effing awesome. No idea what the big deal is about Hamlet and Lear, though."
And indeed! Macbeth is effing awesome, it is true.
And then Hamlet took over my brain (Eyal, I am so so sorry) and I was like zOMG Hamlet!
And then I remembered Macbeth and I was all "Hamlet and Macbeth are totally effing awesome! Seriously, who gives a hoot about this Lear chick?" (Lear is not a chick, but I cannot at the moment think of a properly dismissive term that is also masculine, which is... pretty sad)
I AM TELLING YOU
ALL THOSE YEARS I WASTED
NOT SQUEEING OVER EDMUND.
Okay this is only sort of a lie; I did squee a great deal over Edmund (see: any entry tagged "king lear"). BUT APPARENTLY NOT ENOUGH, IS MY POINT HERE.
EEEDMUUUUND. SO BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING. NEVER CHANGE, BASTARD OF MY HEART.
