Did you know that "wherefore art thou Romeo means "WHY are you Romeo?"

Justice for Rosaline

[@SoberTable]

Hahaha hear hear!

[@CoquetteDeer]

Everyone says that but didn’t she reject Romeo? She was sworn to chastity or something as far as I remember.

[@SoberTable]

Yea she chose not to be with him. I think it stems from how crappy Romeo is. He "loves" Rosaline, but as soon as he knows he can't have her and sees Juliet, she's totally forgotten.

The short directly before this one translating this into bird language was decidedly more funny. What a coincidence, though.

[@SoberTable]

What?! I must watch that haha

[@morningcupofcyanide]

@@SoberTable Absolutely! Etymology_nerd might be right in a lot of y'all's wheelhouse. He does silly goofy stuff like make a bird language and translate stuff like Romeo and Juliet into it. It's pretty fun

[@SoberTable]

Awesome, thank you!! I will absolutely check him out!

[@morningcupofcyanide]

@@SoberTable Yeah, np!

"Or if thou will not, be but sworn, and I'll no longer be a Capulet" = "Or if you don't want to stop being a Montague, just say you'll marry me so I can be a Montague, too"

[@SoberTable]

Yes! Good work 😊

I hated reading Shakespeare! Couldn’t wrap my head around it. Wish you had filmed this when I was in high school!

[@SoberTable]

Yea he's very dense. I'll have to make more!

[@hugh-jazz6969]

[@SoberTable]

Thank you!! Made my day 😊
