Today sees the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. So to mark the occasion, here's a cartoon by Chappatte from Swiss newspaper Le Temps. Of course, the joke is that Twitter posts only allow 140 characters (but I'm sure you knew that already).
COMMENT
Despite what the cartoon suggests, the quote (from Macbeth) is not too long for Twitter. In fact, it's only 63 characters. Actually, Shakespeare is all over Twitter this weekend. You can even read Shakespeare's plays retold for Twitter.
