If Shakespeare Wrote for Social Media… 📱🎭

1. Shakespeare’s Instagram Bio 📸✒️

☑️ Poet | Playwright | Drama King
📍London (Mostly)
📜 “To be or not to be, that is the question”
📩 DMs open for commissions

Would he have a blue tick? Of course. Would he follow Marlowe out of respect (or rivalry)? Absolutely.

2. Hamlet’s Cryptic Tweet 🖊️🐍

💭 @PrinceOfDenmark: “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark… 🤔 #Overthinking #Ghosted”

Ophelia would be subtweeting about toxic relationships, and Polonius would have an entire podcast called “Old Men Explaining Everything”.

3. Romeo & Juliet: TikTok’s Most Dramatic Couple 🎭💔

Romeo: POV: You sneak into a party, fall in love, and now your whole life is chaos. #FYP #Soulmates #ForbiddenLove
Juliet: When your parents say you can’t see him, but you’ve already planned your entire life together 🥲 #ItBeLikeThat
Friar Laurence: Giving questionable advice and hoping for the best #YOLO
The Nurse: Dropping 10-part storytimes about the drama 😏

Would they have survived if they just DMed each other instead of trusting a messenger? We’ll never know…

4. Macbeth’s Dark Academia Aesthetic on IG 🔮👑

📸 Moody black-and-white photos of castles and daggers.

📝 Caption: “Is this a dagger I see before me? Or just my crippling ambition? #HustleCulture #Cursed”

Lady Macbeth’s IG stories would just be her washing her hands repeatedly while Banquo’s ghost posts shady comments under all of Macbeth’s pictures.

5. Much Ado About Twitter Feuds 🐦🔥

@BeatriceShakespearean: “A man who needs validation from everyone? Couldn’t be me. #IndependentWoman”

@BenedickBanter: “Said she’d rather die than love me… now she’s in my DMs. #Interesting”

Would they be a will-they-won’t-they couple on Love Island? Probably.

6. Julius Caesar’s TikTok Betrayal 🗡️👀

@BrutusOfficial: “POV: Your best mate stabs you in the back. #FakeFriends #TrustNoOne”

@CaesarReal: blocked

Mark Antony would be posting a very long, dramatic storytime explaining why Brutus was actually the villain.

7. Shakespeare’s YouTube Channel: ‘The Bard Unfiltered’ 🎬✨

• Ranking My Own Plays – Best to Worst (Macbeth gets top-tier, Titus Andronicus gets demonetised for violence)
• A Day in My Life as a 16th-Century Writer (Spoiler: Mostly writing and avoiding the plague)
• Reacting to Bad Shakespeare Takes on Twitter (Roasting people who say he didn’t actually write his plays)

Final Thoughts: The Bard Would Be Viral 📱🔥

There’s no doubt that Shakespeare would absolutely dominate social media. Whether it’s cryptic tweets, TikTok drama, or influencer-level storytelling, the world would still be obsessed with his words, just in a different format.
