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.

It's a generational problem. Shakespeare scholars are all free-love hippy boomers.

Yeah Shakespeare was famously averse to sexual puns.
Fun fact: he also hated funny gratuitous violence!
