Romeo and Juliet — the blinking white guy breakdown

The blinking white guy meme, but make it Shakespeare.

ROMEO column:

• Row 1: Alive (eyes open)
• Row 2: Dead (eyes closed)
• Row 3: Still dead (eyes closed)

JULIET column:

• Row 1: Pretending to be dead (eyes closed)
• Row 2: Alive again (eyes open)
• Row 3: Actually dead now (eyes closed)

The format tracks the entire plot of Romeo and Juliet in six boxes. Romeo lives, dies, stays dead. Juliet fakes death, wakes up, sees Romeo dead, kills herself. Both dead by the end.

Peak meme. Simple. Deep. Powerful. The avant-garde of memes, as the caption says.

Gorgocutie says: Romeo and Juliet in the blinking guy format — the only Shakespeare adaptation where both leads end with the same expression.
