Shakespeare’s Warning against Marketing Lies

Posted on October 8, 2012 by jimmie

“…Let me have no lying: it becomes none but tradesmen” (Winter’s Tale, act 4, sc. 3) Comments.  Thinking that lying be amenable to curbing is senseless.

Shakespeare on Appearances, Deceit and the Presidential Elections

Posted on September 26, 2012 by jimmie

 “Who makes the fairest show, means most deceit” (Pericles, act 1, sc. 4) Comments. Which it is the ‘fairest show’ we cannot say.
