Megan Fox: We Will All Laugh At Gilded Butterflies at The Insider

What's the meaning of Megan Fox's Tattoo? We Will All Laugh At Gilded Butterflies appears to be a reference to line from Shakespeare's King Lear:

Come, let's away to prison:
We too alone will sing like birds I' the cage;
When thou dost ask me blessing I'll kneel down
And ask of thee forgiveness; so we'll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies...

-- King Lear to daughter Cordelia

Cordelia was the good daughter by the way. Maybe Megan Fox has daddy issues.

as if you dont know whether megan fox knows anything about shakespear? do you know her personally? maybe she had an interest in his work. goes to show how idiotic some people are. don't judge a book by its cover.

Megan Fox would be more beautiful without the tatoos. They only distract from her real beauty.

A gilded butterfly is beautiful and breath-taking but has the huge disadvantage of being immoble. In this sense, King Lear has been betrayed by his daughters due to his massive fortune. Cordelia is the one daughter that stayed loyal, and so Lear wishes to spend a simple and humble life with her while her sisters live a frivolous and fancy life. While the two sisters are rich and beautiful, that doesn't matter because they are dishonest and cannot truly offer anything to the world. Basically, King Lear is, in a way, telling his daughter that they will eventually feel sorry for the 2 betrayers, because they will only ever lead meaningless lives. "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies" = "We will all feel sorry for the sad and sorry rich folk"

really its not so much about the context of it as much as what it means - the gilded (the shiny gaudy, lauded upon) butterfly (beautiful) cannot fly (rise or amount to anything). So the spoiled rich bitch will never amount to anything is what the quotes saying. So her tattoo is basically saying that she's more than that. She thinks she has value beyond just looking pretty, which is really deep for a celeb. tattoo.

- hahaha that's not what that means at all... king lear is laughing at his daughters because they are being something that they are not, so therefore it says we will all laugh at the people in the end who go through life fakeing they are something they are not.

It's a good quote, she probably just liked that particular passage and had it tatted.

- Although it does seem a little deep for your typical Hollywood air headed actress.

She probably feels like she's been made a prisioner by her own beauty and by the superficiality it bears.
