Posted on April 18, 2013 by jimmie

“…O, forfend it, God, That in a Christian climate souls refined Should show so heinous, black, obscene a deed!” (King Richard II, act 4, sc. 1) Comment.

Shakespeare, (purposeful) Blindness and Overpopulation

Posted on April 3, 2013 by jimmie

“…our very eyes Are sometimes like our judgments, blind!” (Cymbeline, act 4, sc. 1)   Comment.  By not acknowledging a problem we cannot fix it and as long as it remains invisible it will remain insoluble.

Shakespeare, Victoria Secret and the Corruption of Neo-liberal Capitalism

Posted on March 29, 2013 by jimmie

“…she that sets seeds and roots of shame and iniquity” (Pericles, act 4, sc. 6) Comment. The appellation, let alone the profession of moralist is historically suspect.
