The literature aspect may seem strange for TG, but for those who read Shakespeare and know his pedantic (but sly) Elizabethan themes of love and sex, well, heee! ^_^
Just a little experiment using the idea of Dee's Bench Caption universe! Maybe not very successful, but I like to try new things. ;)
Hopefully that next lover is far prettier than most of Shakespeare's gender experiments. All I can think of is Falstaff being tricked into playing Mistress Ford’s aunt, only to get beaten by the same husband he was trying to hide from!
ReplyDeleteOh, Sally, that had never occurred to me, so thanks for suggesting it! Next time, I ought to get out my *switch* to enforce Shakespeare's law. ^^
DeleteI don't know Shakespeare, but I know what I like .. and it's bench universe captions!
ReplyDeleteAnd what I do know about Shakespeare is that Sally is right. Shakespeare was the OG gender swapper, for comedy of course, but how interesting it is to see men play women who play men?
True! In Shakespeare's time, men were the only ones allowed on stage, which means that they played the women's parts. Think "Romeo and Juliet," but with a guy kissing a guy on the balcony instead of our modern romances. (heee) Then imagine a guy playing a girl who's playing a guy in a play, because that was the real thing! ^.^
