Truly a literary genius.
william shakespeare
To be or not to be, that Is William Shakespeare's question. That and 100 others written 400 years ago we still don't have answers to. Like why Oedipus, why? So dust off ye olde English and chortle with glee at these witty soliloquies and puns.
Here's a weird tidbit of history for you: today is the anniversary of William Shakespeare's death back in 1616. He was also born on April 26, so that's kind of weird, but okay. Anyway, in honor of the occasion, we've compiled 16 silly Shakespeare-related tidbits for the literary nerds (or really, anyone who was forced to read Hamlet in their high school AP English class).
It can get old really fast hearing the same pop songs over and over on the radio. That's why we really appreciate geniuses like Shakespeare Lyrics, a Twitter account dedicated to translatingpop songs into Shakespearean slang for the cultured and classy. We're sad to report that this Twitter account no longer exists, unfortunately. It's a tragedy, really.
