Henry V – Act 4 Scene 1Every time I see @littleshakespeareanbaby pop up on my dash, I think of this scene. It’s fun, knowing the greatest writer in the English language worked so hard to gaslight society into believing life was always tougher for the bosses.
IM SCREAMING. IS THIS YOU??? ARE YOU JEREMY IRONS????? CAN I DEDICATE MY LIFE TO YOU IN EXCHANGE FOR YOU READING EVERY SHAKESPEAREAN PLAY TO ME????
I’m not Jeremy Irons. (I’m assuming Jeremy Irons long ago took out a restraining order on all of Tumblr.) I was just trying to *not* do my Branagh impression, which still slips through in places.
Your offer of lifetime dedication is being taken under advisement. Every cul— ahem, tax-free organization of like-minded individuals needs early adopters to provide a strong base for proselytization… spiritual bottom-bitches, if you will. I’m actually concerned you might be too silly and giggly to handle my affairs for me, but time will tell.
Time will tell.
