Shakespeare Memes and Tweets for Literary Lovebirds Who Are Tragically Convinced They Belong Together

Ah, to live in the time of a digital renaissance!

Today, we call all star-crossed lovers… And Shakespeare enthusiasts. I grew up on Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello. In my not-so-humble opinion, Shakespeare's influence extends way beyond the stage, permeating film, television, and even casual conversations. His timeless words, one inked quill to parchment, now reverberate through the digital corridors of the 21st century. In the age of memes and tweets, his verses find new life, reincarnated as viral quips and relatable social media banter. Characters like Hamlet and Juliet have become avatars for the complex emotions of our tumultuous relationships. I enjoy the occasional ups and downs of intense relationships that are doomed. It makes me feel alive. Sue me.

Scroll down for some witty quips, memes, and tweets that have a Shakespearean vibe. Then check out these Dungeons and Dragons memes for couples who like to roll initiative. Enjoy the rest of your day!
