fun game @ciswoman, @jhoiraartificer, and I just came up with: choose an arbitrary A-list film/TV actor and then figure out which Shakespeare role they'd be best in

example: I claim that Chris Hemsworth would be an insanely good Oberon

My answer:

King Claudius, from Hamlet. I think he could do a really good charming, jovial Claudius who's baaaarely visibly hiding a murderer underneath.



The Tragedy of Macbeth Review

Stone cold banger every time. There's so much to say about how this play handles gender—Lady Macbeth uses the idea of manhood as a lever to get her husband to act against his king, and asks the spirits to make her a man. But this coercive understanding of "manhood" is challenged at the end, as Macduff claims manhood as specifically the ability to feel unflinchingly. In that light, you can even read Lady M's descent as her wish being granted wrong: she is given the ability to feel and cannot bear it.
