I'm stupidly amused to realise that this memorable moment from Nicholas Galitzine as Jeff in the movie Bottoms reminds me of a line in fuckin' Shakespeare.

In fact, after more than a decade of teaching his work, I’ve come to see Shakespeare—at least when he’s writing tragedies—as primarily a horror writer. He might perhaps be the most significant influence in the entire English language to the Gothic, and consequently the modern, horror tradition.

Seen through the lens of a horror writer, Shakespeare’s progression as an artist is not just in his ability to play with structure, form, and character, but rather that he gains a deeper understanding of how to really scare people. As he grew as a writer, he learned there are better ways to emotionally wound an audience than the surface kills and thrills, and it’s this that ends up really defining him as a playwright.

Damian: Villain, what hast thou done?

Jason: That which thou canst not undo.

Damian: Thou hast undone my mother.

Jason: Villain, I have done thy mother.

Knowing what happens in Titus Andronicus is so silly goofy but then you actually read it, and it's so sincere, and it's like someone's taken a knife and is scraping it along the insides of my ribs.

It's so over-the-top that it feels like a joke half the time. Everyone loses so hard. Whenever I try to explain it, it just sounds like a bit, because Titus is that overdramatic. Absolutely anything that could go wrong goes wrong. And it doesn't work half the time. Sometimes, it's just ridiculous.

But if you go into it genuinely, assuming complete commitment and investment in the story, it's raw. It's heart-breaking. And there is a point, it's not just violence for violence's sake. It's a story about children and parents and violence and oppression and bad systems and how everything is unfair. It's a tough play because it's right on the edge between being over-the-top to make a point and being so over-the-top that the point is completely lost.

But if you can balance it, it's one of the saddest Shakespeare tragedies. It's brutal. It's awful. It's a good show.

The Woman's Part

Sooo hey. I finally did something with my Shakespeare MA...

The Woman's Part is a collection of original prose and erasure poetry inspired by Shakespeare's women — their unlived lives, unspoken desires, and unwritten stories — using speeches and characters from thirteen plays.

It's been described as:

"A small piece of genius [showing] not only a profound understanding of Shakespeare, but of humankind in general." — Cathy Ulrich, author of Ghosts of You

and

"[The Woman's Part] has reimagined Ophelia and Juliet and more into striking freedom through speaking up, sailing away, and eating hearts." — Gwen Kirby, author of Shit Cassandra Saw

and

"To read it is to join the rebellion. An affecting and finely-crafted masterpiece which invites us to unlearn our deepest Bard-based archetypes. Stunning, incisive and fearless writing from one of the most exciting new voices on the literary scene." — Dr Chris Laoutaris, The Shakespeare Institute

~

I put my heart, my rage, and all my obsession with Shakespeare into this, and I would love for you to read it.

Didn't have room for the "another play should count as a tragedy, and that one's my favorite" option on this one, gang. So if another play is your favorite tragedy... just suffer, I guess.

im going insane over titus andronicus. aaron was the only character to save his child's life. aaron was the only character to never waver in loyalty and love for his child. aaron was the only character to willingly go against his core desires for his child (titus' core desire was vengeance and he never strayed from it). aaron loved his baby. he changed everything for his child. he says he's evil but he's the only one who values his child's life over his principles. hello.
