This is my face when an article cites Shakespeare's Juliet as an example of typical European early marriage, because I cannot forget the (Fediverse?) thread I once read about how Shakespeare was explicitly making the point that Juliet was shockingly young for what she was going through and how it's part of the overall point of the play.

(If the thread I remember was on the Fediverse, I neglected to favorite or bookmark it, silly me. Maybe it was tumblr.com/thebibliosphere/179 but I'm not sure.)
