Sorry about the really random Alien post,...
I “quick reblogged” to the wrong blog. =(
It was meant to go to Hadley’s Hope, my sci-fi, horror, Alien and zombie obsessed blog.
I wish I could have found a way to relate it to Shakespeare and let it stay, but, alas, I’m too embarrassed to really even think at the moment.
Sorry, folks! I’ll try to be more careful with my reblog finger in the future.

Instead of pulling your hair out because of this or this or a rephrase from a sparknotes page, follow this blog and, for the love of Shakespeare,...
