Shakespeare, Macbeth, Power, Greed, War on Drugs or War on the Poor
“… Stars, hide your fires! Let not light see my black and deep desires.” (Macbeth, act 1, sc. 4) Comment. Deciphering the motives of the attitudes of men is as interesting as to determine the characteristics of a mineral or a plant. To instill an attitude into the crowd, the “monster with uncounted heads”, assault Read More

Shakespeare and the Undermining of the Social Compact
“Undoing all, as all had never been!” (King Henry VI, part 2, act 1, sc. 1) Comment. And so it has come to this, after the ‘war on drugs’ and the ‘war on terror’ we have the ‘war on Social Security’ and the ‘war on Medicare’. For the many (thank you) international friends of Read More

Shakespeare, Thatcher and British Society
“Thou know’st ‘tis common – all that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity.” (Hamlet, act 1, sc. 2) Comment. That Margaret Thatcher would make as much noise with her death as with her life was expected and inevitable – inevitable as the cycle of life in Queen Gertrude’s words to Hamlet. Thatcher imposed Read More

To Be or not to Be (an Accomplice of the Argentine Junta)
“… that is the question, Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? …” (Hamlet, act 3, sc. 1) Comment. Yes, indeed, is it nobler in the mind to be deaf and blind towards Read More

Shakespeare and more on Physiognomy
“…The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes” (Coriolanus, act 5, sc. 4) Comment. The preceding blog (Mar 16, 2013, title, “Shakespeare, Physiognomy, the Pope and Lavater”) triggered a few direct e-mails and a comment, more or less condemning the practice to judge a person from his appearance, notably his/her face. Who could disagree? But Read More

Daffodils, Shakespeare, Wordworth, Rustle of Spring, Poetry and Music
“Daffodils, that come before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with beauty” (Winter’s Tale, act 4, sc. 4) Comment. Today we will deflect our gaze from the contemptible machinations of warmongers, thieves, perverts and unpalatable politicians. We are at the edge of Spring among whose heralds are the daffodils, now in plentiful Read More

Shakespeare, Chavez and the Associated Press
“Fellow kings, I tell you that that Lord Say hath gelded the commonwealth, and made it an eunuch” (KHVI p2.4.2) Comment.
