Whats the deal with shakespeare "intellectuals" trying to convince everyone every single line in every single play is actually a completely retarded sexual based pun, is this some kind of psyop?
No, it's true. You've literally just been conditioned to think art was dry and humorless back then.>Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy Will,>And Will to boot, and Will in over-plus;>More than enough am I that vexed thee still,>To thy sweet will making addition thus.>Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious,>Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine?>Shall will in others seem right gracious,>And in my will no fair acceptance shine?>The sea, all water, yet receives rain still,>And in abundance addeth to his store;>So thou, being rich in Will, add to thy Will>One will of mine, to make thy large will more.>Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill;>Think all but one, and me in that one Will.
