25 Snarky Shakespearean Memes to Please Capulets and Montegues Alike

Lament no longer, tis I, the meme beholder. Many of us fancied a Shakespearean tale or two back in the day. Whether it was required reading or you simply fantasized about the romantic tropes of the ill-fated love of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare has found his way into all of our lives and all of our bookshelves. As a humble brag of every young poet, we've prided ourselves on the quotes of Hamlet and Macbeth, wondering at what point the drama of our own life would cease to be a comedy. And even if you're not a literature snob, we can all appreciate the unsubtle insults that have rocked the world of uncouth swine for centuries. 

But alas, I have greater mirth and literary wonders waiting for you today: Memes. Scroll onward to enjoy a particularly peckish collection of Shakespeare memes that'll remind any reader of the silliest moments in 16th-century entertainment.
