"
When Virgil wrote The Aeneid, he didn’t invent Aeneas; Aeneas was a minor character in Homer’s Odyssey whose unauthorized further adventures Virgil decided to chronicle. Shakespeare didn’t invent Hamlet and King Lear; he plucked them from historical and literary sources.
Writers weren’t the originators of the stories they told; they were just the temporary curators of them. Real creation was something the gods did.
All that has changed. Today the way we think of creativity is dominated by Romantic notions of individual genius and originality, and late-capitalist concepts of intellectual property.

“Hermia and Helena” by Washington Allston (1818)
So we grew together,
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition;
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem;
So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart

What do you want?
I want you to have all my babies.
FAVOURITE MOMENT NOT GONNA LIE.
Gosh, I love this adaptation. I love the language, I love their chemistry, I love the blend of nuts and trust, I love poor, undertrod David Mitchell, I love the height differences, Shirley Henderson as a tiny but fiercely uncompromising female and…oh gosh, I just do.
