You are sure to get these witty memes if you have turned the pages of classic literature once in your life or at least watched their film adaptations.
If you are a bookworm, then classic literature might be something you gorged on early in your life. Perhaps you had to read classic literature in order to write your papers for the exam or you read the classics just for the love of good literature. You might have also seen movies based on these iconic tales. In that case, these memes were probably custom-made for your enjoyment. Scroll through the end to laugh at Shakespearean tragedies and dystopian miseries. And if you haven't read a single classic yet, maybe it's high time to pick them up. These memes will convince you that there is some real shady humor in the old classics.
Legit research request: please send me your favourite Achilles and Patroclus, Troy (2004), and queer antiquity memes!

for me the most relatable character in Pride & Prejudice is Lady Catherine, who has never studied or played music but is confident that if she had, she would have been great at it.
