“Please save me! I’ll do anything for you!” “Then perish.”
“Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.”
“Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?”
“…Then I shall face God, and walk backwards into hell.”
“…I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.”-All of these are from shitposts, regrettably not from literary classics.
Shakespeare’s ghost is simultaneously thrilled that these happened and irate that he didn’t create them
Except for the one that he did.
ARIEL:
Not a soul
But felt a fever of the mad and play’d
Some tricks of desperation. All but mariners
Plunged in the foaming brine and quit the vessel,
Then all afire with me: the king’s son, Ferdinand,
With hair up-staring,–then like reeds, not hair,–
Was the first man that leap’d; cried, ‘Hell is empty
And all the devils are here.’–The Tempest, Act I, Scene 2 by William Shakespeare.
