Shakespeare wrote for a wide audience. In his plays there was plenty to entertain people from all walks of life regardless of education level, in fact literacy was not a prerequisite at all. I make no claims for intellectual superiority, I do have thespian friends who I do read Shakespeare with so that when we do go to the Globe we have a little bit of an idea of what we are seeing. From this I appreciate how my thespian friends value this cornerstone of English culture. Consequently I believe something is lost when the great works are reduced to a tweet. Had the post been made by someone who knew who identified with the literature - a fan - then I might have seen this as admirable fan love. There is nothing new in hiding text in images, in fact I do this for myself to see if images can do better in Google SEO, and if indexed images can be searched for by unique phrases hidden in the binary as well as the EXIF data. I do this with the permission of the owner of the images and I don't blindly take images or text for this that others might consider sacred. I think that Shakespeare 'himself' would have been okay with having his complete works stuffed into a tweet as 'he' did steal most of his stories from elsewhere.
