lieutenant-sapphic:

i know i should be going to sleep but listen shakespeare establishes full well that the roman suicide was done by SWORD (in macbeth with the quote “why should I play the roman fool, and die / on mine own sword?” and julius caesar with the stage direction: “runs on his sword”) and shakespeare also establishes full well that the lovers’ suicide was done by POISON (it’s literally romeo and juliet) so what the FUCK does that say about hamlet and horatio
