37. Contested Will, by James Shapiro

Owned: No, library Page count: 316 My summary: The Shakespeare authorship question, as told by someone who doesn’t believe in it. Did Shakespeare write Shakespeare? (Yes.) Or were his plays written by someone else, like Francis Bacon and the Earl of Oxford? (No.) Find out the thrilling answer! (It was Shakespeare.) My rating: 5/5 My commentary:

Ah, the Shakespeare authorship question. One that can be answered very simply. Did William Shakespeare write all the plays attributed to William Shakespeare? Yes. Yes, he did. He did do that. Despite its ridiculousness, I've long been fascinated by the Shakespeare authorship question and exactly how it came about. After all, we've got no evidence that anyone doubted that Shakespeare wrote his plays at the time; it's only a few hundred years later that people began to doubt. And their evidence for that is...scant. Basically, the argument boils down to this - how could Willian Shakespeare, a glover's son from Stratford who was not university educated, write these plays that are obviously such proof of divine genius? How could he have knowledge of far-off locales, the workings of high society, falconry, history? Basically, in the immortal words of Kyle Kalgren, how can art if not posh?

The answer to this is obvious, of course. William Shakespeare was a writer, and came up with these ideas out of his imagination. Or he was adapting older, pre-existing stories. This talk of Shakespeare having intricate knowledge of subjects outside a glover's son's remit is muddied by his mistakes - he seemed to think clocks existed in Ancient Rome, Bohemia has a coastline, and gunpowder existed in Ancient Greece. Add that to the fact that Shakespeare worked in noble houses and had access to books about other places and experiences, and you explain how he could namedrop such details. That, and the fact that he was educated - not university educated, but there was a free grammar school in Stratford that would have taught the young Shakespeare Greek and Latin. Part of this misconception, of course, is our fault. As modern readers, we have a habit of mythologising Shakespeare's plays, to the point where we assume everything he wrote was a Work Of Pure Genius. And that then leads to the idea that only someone of noble blood could have possibly written such a work, with proponents of the idea bending over backwards to justify how a particular nobleman, usually Francis Bacon or Edward de Vere, could have written all of the plays. Despite, in de Vere's case, having died before Shakespeare stopped writing.

Anyway, this book is a great overview of the 'anti-Stratfordian' movement, and the motives behind it. People just really wanna read conspiracy into everything, huh. The most ludicrous of the claims is that de Vere, as well as writing from beyond the grave, was the bastard child of the Queen who then fathered another bastard child, who was the real Prince Tudor who could have carried on the lineage. Which is of course simpler than 'some guy wrote some plays that people decided were good'. The why of this conspiracy is really what I was interested in, and this book certainly delivers. Shapiro delivers a pretty fair look at the concept, not shying away from debunking the claims of the movement, but also delving into what those claims actually are, as well as laying out a compelling case that Shakespeare did, in fact, write the works of William Shakespeare. It's certainly satisfied my itch for this particular conspiracy theory! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone interested.

Love Torn Chapter 5: The Aftermath

"YOUR MAJESTY, SHE IS DEAD!"

"YOUR MAJESTY, SHE IS DEAD!"

"YOUR MAJESTY, SHE IS DEAD!"

Those words are repeated inside Ben's thoughts as he holds his son close to his heart. Soon, tears start to fall from his brown eyes as he rocks his distressed son back to sleep.

"Who would do this?' A fashionable woman in a blue dress whispers from across the waiting room.

No one could answer her question.

Instead, the thirty-by-forty walls of the waiting room had two villain kids and Ben's friends Jane and Jay's fiance. All are quiet as they wait for the fuzzy Prince to settle down after his restless night beside his deceased mother. Each one is sitting or standing across from the King and his descendant as the grandfather clock keeps ticking.

A blue-haired beauty named Evie, known as the daughter of the Evil Queen, stares forward with tears falling down her brown eyes.

On the right of the Hispanic woman is the last villain kid from Mal's crew, Jay, also known as the son of Jafar.

The Arabian man looks down as his long brown hair covers his face from silently crying in pain.

Both are distraught and are trying to wrap their heads around their recent discovery.

Last year, they lost their youngest member, Carlos, son of Cruella, due to an unknown illness, and now, their leader, Mal, passed away last night in her sleep. On Ben's right is an Asin woman in her blue warrior attire, and behind them is Jane.

Jane's gorgeous long brown hair bounces up and down behind her shoulders while she paces back and forth. To gather up strength, Ben closes his bloodshot eyes as he waits for the verdict on Mal's death.

"Your Highness?" A woman in a blue business suit whispers as a petite woman with a long wand enters the room.

"Wait! Prince Willian must be removed from the premises before you tell me anything," Ben declares as he opens his eyes and stands up from the three-seated green sofa.

The man in a casual blue shirt and navy blue jeans walks up to the female warrior beside him and orders, "Warrior Lonnie, please take care of our future King. Keep him safe, and don't allow anyone near him. If his life is in danger, you are the only one allowed to remove the heir from our home and escort him to our safe place. This mission was given to you when he was born. Will you risk your life for the Prince's safety?"

Lonnie waits for the Prince to be in her arms before vowing, "I will protect the heir with my life, your Highness."

Ben accepts the warrior's answer before watching Lonnie stand up with the now-asleep heir in her arms. She then bows down to show her respect. Quickly, Lonnie walks to the opposite side of the room and exits the secret entrance.

Lonnie's high ponytail sways behind her as she takes the Prince out of the room. As everyone stares at her, no one notices a black cat entering the waiting room and waiting for them to start their private conversation.

Once Lonnie and his son are out of earshot, King Ben asks, "What have you found out?'

Fairy Godmother's tearful brown eyes stare in the King's direction with sadness as she declares to his witnesses, "According to the wand... Queen Maleficent was poison in her sleep."

Several gasps come to everyone as Jane starts firing questions on Ben's behalf.

"Did the wand show you did it?"

"What else could you find, mother?"

Fairy Godmother replies, "It is an unknown poison. It could be from any timeline. I have never seen this type of deadly weapon used before."

"Do you think it could be someone we know?" Evie asks while looking at the Fairy Godmother for answers.

"It could be, but it is uncertain?" Fairy Godmother replies before staring back at the King's direction.

Jay stands up and shouts, 'IT'S AUDREY! She is the only one we know that could hurt Mal."

"NO, it is not her!" Jane declares in a defensive tone before revealing. "Chad has told me that he received a letter claiming that she left after Ben and Mal's marriage ceremony."

"I don't believe a word from Chad's mouth," Jay declares.

Jane stands firm on her statement and shouts, "There is a letter, and I saw it! Chat still has it!"

"There is only one way to figure it out!" King Ben says before calling out his two most loyal guards. He then looks in Jane's direction. "For all of our sakes, I hope you are right, Jane!"

Jane nods in reassurance at his statement before seeing King Ben walking out of the room and into the night.

Did Harry inherit more than William?

Yes and no. When the LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt With Team Logo died back in 2002 she left more money to Harry, knowing that William would eventually become Prince and inherit the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate valued at over $1 billion.

Which is exactly what happened when Los Angeles Dodgers Funny Hawaiian Shirt For Family LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt passed away in 2022. So overall, Willian inherited quite a bit more than Harry.

But this $1 billion estate is nothing compared to the $10 billion that King Charles received tax free, thanks to a clever investment by the Queen into one of the world’s most exclusive asset classes … fine art.

The Royal family has been investing a portion of their fortune into art for centuries …

But the Royals are far from the only billionaires who have invested a significant chunk of their fortunes in this emerging asset class.

Billionaires like David Geffen, Los Angeles Dodgers Coconut Tree MLB Hawaiian Shirt LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt, and Bill Gates are all avid art collectors.

The recently-named “richest man in the world,” Berard Arnault, who is the CEO of luxury-goods conglomerate LVMH, has an extensive collection of art.

Plus, there’s a long list of celebrities like Jay-Z, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, Madonna, and Ellen Degeneres who have invested millions into art.

The only problem is, regular investors have always been locked out of this asset class because it usually takes millions of dollars to purchase just one iconic piece.

Until now. Investing in Baby Yoda Los Angeles Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt just got easier, thanks to a revolutionary new investment platform called Masterworks.

Masterworks provides a simple, secure way for anyone to invest in shares of paintings from famous artists like Picasso, Banksy and Basquiat.

Which is great, because contemporary art prices have outpaced the S&P 500 by 131% since 1995 … and real estate and gold by more than three to one over the same period.

Even better, art acts as a great hedge during periods of high inflation and market volatility.

Which is why Los Angeles Dodgers Mickey Mouse Tropical Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt, Larry Fink, who manages nearly $10 trillion in assets, recently called art “the new gold” because of its remarkable ability to “preserve wealth”

These are just a few reasons why billionaires like Larry Fink, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey are pouring hundreds of millions into this asset class.

Pericles, by William Shakespeare

Pericles, Prince of Tyre, better known as just Pericles, is a play by Willian Shakespeare (and possibly co-authored by George Wilkins) which was first printed in 1609. Wilkins published in 1608 The Painful Adventures of Pericles Prince of Tyre which is the prose version of the story, but goes a little different in some aspects. 

The play was based on the (fictional) story of Apollonius of Tyre. The original source of this story is lost, but it’s believed to have been originally Greek, originating from the third century. The most popular Latin version is the one written by Godfrey of Viterbo in his book Pantheon in 1185. It was translated to English as early as the 11th century, but the most diffused version was the one by John Gower in his Confessio Amantis of 1390. The story was a widely popular during the Middle Ages all around Europe, being translated and adapted into many languages. Therefore, it isn’t such a surprise that Shakespeare decided to turn this tale into a play.

In all versions of the story, be it Shakespeare’s Pericles or any of the many retelling of Apollonius, the plot is kickstarted when the hero of the story is given a riddle by King Antiochus of Antioch in order to win Antiochus’ daughter’s hand in marriage. If the hero can’t answer the riddle correctly, he is to be killed. However, the situation is a tricky one: if the hero tells the answer to the riddle, he will also be killed, since the riddle if about Antiochus incestuous relationship with his daughter and Antiochus doesn’t want anyone knowing. I repeat, the incest isn’t the main point of the story, but since the play came up like I was looking for scholar’s opinions on the incest in Hamlet, I decided to make a review for the incestuous part of Pericles.

I’m taking the text from Internet Shakespeare Editions, which disponibilizes both the original version of the play, as well as a modern spelling of it (I’ll be quoting only the modern spelling, for easier understanding). As a supplementary material, the site also has Wilkins’ The Painful Adventures of Pericles Prince of Tyre, The Pattern of Painful Adventures by Laurence Twine (1576) and Gower’s Confessio Amantis (circa 1390).

Pericles, Prince of Tyre

Shakespeare's play begins with a chorus, as is traditional of Greek plays, that explains the background of the characters. The chorus introduces King Antiochus, the greatest King in all of Syria, who ruled over a beautiful city. His wife had died, leaving him with only a daughter, who is described as “so buxom, blithe, and full of face, as heaven had lent her all his grace”. When the daughter came of age to be married, Antiochus seduced her. The chorus says that Antiochus ‘provoked her to incest’, which I’m interpreting as he courted her and she corresponded his feelings. I’m highlighting this because in some versions of the story it’s said that the King raped his daughter, but it doesn’t seems to be case in Shakespeare’s Pericles.

Chorus: “With whom the father liking took, And her to incest did provoke. Bad child; worse father! to entice his own To evil should be done by none.”

Since the Princess was beautiful, many foreign princes wanted to marry her and, to not arise suspicion of the incestuous relationship the Princess shared with her father, Antiochus decided to allow her to marry. With one condition: she would only marry the one who managed to solve the riddle he proposed. Those who couldn’t give the right answer to the riddle would be killed.

Pericles arrives to take the challenge and Antiochus introduces him to his daughter.

Antiochus: “Nature this dowry gave, to glad her presence, The senate house of planets all did sit, To knit in her their best perfections.”

Antiochus presents Pericles with the riddle, and the Princess wishes him luck (which are her only lines in the whole play). The riddle goes as this:

“I am no viper, yet I feed On mother’s flesh which did me breed. I sought a husband, in which labour I found that kindness in a father: He’s father, son, and husband mild; I mother, wife, and yet his child. How they may be, and yet in two, As you will live resolve it you.”

Pericles quickly understands that the riddle is regarding the King and Princess incestuous relationship and is shocked by it. He loses his interested in marrying the Princess after discovering she has committed the sin of incest. Antiochus presses Pericles to give an answer, but he doesn’t want to, because he thinks that revealing the incestuous relationship might enrage Antiochus and result in the King killing him anyway. As such, Pericles lets Antiochus know that he figured it out without actually making the accusation of incest. Antiochus decides to give Pericles forty days to think about it.

Alone, Antiochus plans to kill Pericles to keep the secret and sends an assassin after him. Meanwhile, Pericles has fled back to Tyre, from where he goes to other places and runs into adventures, all in his attempt of avoid Antiochus’ rage. And this is the last the see of Antiochus and his daughter for the rest of the play. In Act III, they are mentioned to have died and in the epilogue of Act V, their deaths are said to be the punishment for their actions:

Chorus: “ In Antiochus and his daughter you have heard Of monstrous lust the due and just reward.”

Painful Adventures of Pericles Prince of Tyre

Like I mentioned in the introduction, Shakespeare’s possible collaborator in the play, George Wilkins, published his own prose version of the tale of Pericles. I wasn’t initially planning on reading this, but changed my mind when I discovered that, in Wilkins’ text, Antiochus is explicitly said to have abused his daughter.  The Princess kept silence, unable to tell anyone what happened in shame.

“Antiochus the Great, who was the first founder of Antioch, the most famous city in all Syria, having one only daughter in the prime and glory of her youth, fell in most unnatural love with her. And what by the power of his persuasions and fear of his tyranny, he so prevailed with her yielding heart that he became master of his desires.”

I did a double take when I read this. Had I been wrong in interpreting Shakespeare’s text? Had I read it with rose-tinted glasses, trying so hard to have a consensual father/daughter relationship that I had ignored the signs of abuse? Well, no. Or, if I did, I’m not alone, as Bicks (2021) agrees with me:

“[...] yet none of the play’s quartos, from the 1609 Q1 forward, includes even a hint of Wilkins’s excruciating account of the rape. Rather, they dismiss the daughter from the start as a girl who is complicit in her father’s incestuous lust.”

(Bicks then goes on to say this is an erasure of the Princess story and blah blah blah, but I don’t care for that. I care that Shakespeare’s version has the Antiochus relationship with his daughter as being consensual).

Later, Antiochus and his daughter are revealed to have been killed by lightening (the means of death are not described in the play), which one can suppose was the divine punishment inflicted by Jove (a.k.a. Jupiter or Zeus).

The Pattern of Painful Adventures

This version was written by Laurence Twine in 1576, and is mostly a English translation of Gower’s version in Confessio Amantis. It seems to be the version from which Wilkins drew inspiration, for the text closely resembles his. In this version, Antiochus also rapes his daughter.

“Wherefore not long after on a certain day he came into his daughter's chamber, and, bidding all that were there for to depart as though he had had some secret matter to confer with her, the furious rage of lust pricking him forward thereunto, he violently forced her -- though, seely maiden, she withstood him long to her power -- and threw away all regard of his own honesty and unloosed the knot of her virginity.”

The riddle Apollonius has to solve is different, with the version from Pericles likely having been altered by Shakespeare. 

“I am carried with mischief; I eat my mother's flesh; I seek my brother, my mother's husband, and I cannot find him.”

In this version, the King and Princess are also killed by lightning: “King Antiochus and his daughter are struck dead with lightning from heaven.”

Apollonius of Tyre, Book VIII of Confessio Amantis

Confessio Amantis is a extremely long poem written between 1386 and 1390 by John Gower. The poem is a frame narrative, with an old man telling the many stories to a priest of Venus. None of the stories featured in it are original works of Gower, with the majority of them coming from Ovid.

Apollonius of Tyre shows up in Book VIII, which concerns itself with the sin of lechery (lust), and more specifically, with incestuous lust (oh, trust me, I’ll be checking out the other stories from this book). 

This story also goes with the rape version, with the introduction saying (in Latin, because people on the 1390′s were pretentious like that and everything had to have an introduction in badly written Latin):

“Here he speaks against incestuous coitus of lovers, and narrate the marvelous example of the Great King Antiochus, who after his wife died, violated his own daughter [...]”

Conclusion

After looking at many versions of the Pericles/Apollonius story, it becomes clear that what was originally a sexual assault was re-worked by Shakespeare into being a consensual relationship. Was it to make the characters more palatable to the audience? Doubtful. Antiochus is the antagonist of the play, having him rape his daughter would fit with his villainous status. Regardless on whether the Princess is being raped by her father or is in love with him, the other characters (and the audience of the time) would find them despicable. Besides, other Shakespearean plays include rape, so it’s clear that the author doesn’t shy away from the topic. Was it, like Bicks suggested, an erasure of the Princess voice? I also don’t think so. 

I prefer to think that Shakespeare read Apollonius and thought that there didn’t need to any rape in that relationship, that the father and daughter could very well be engaging in a consensual relationship and ran with the idea. The effect is the same, in at least Shakespeare doesn’t victimizes the Princess by having her be violently raped and told in details like the others authors had previously done.

CRITIQUE PAPER

ROMEO AND JULIET

By

Willian shakespear

Characterization

Romeo

The son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague. A young man of about sixteen, Romeo is handsome, intelligent, and sensitive. Though impulsive and immature, his idealism and passion make him an extremely likable character. He lives in the middle of a violent feud between his family and the Capulets, but he is not at all interested in violence. His only interest is love. At the beginning of the play he is madly in love with a woman named Rosaline, but the instant he lays eyes on Juliet, he falls in love with her and forgets Rosaline. Thus, Shakespeare gives us every reason to question how real Romeo’s new love is, but Romeo goes to extremes to prove the seriousness of his feelings. He secretly marries Juliet, the daughter of his father’s worst enemy; he happily takes abuse from Tybalt; and he would rather die than live without his beloved. Romeo is also an affectionate and devoted friend to his relatives Benvolio, Mercutio, and Friar Lawrence.

Juliet

The daughter of Capulet and Lady Capulet. A beautiful thirteen-year-old girl, Juliet begins the play as a naïve child who has thought little about love and marriage, but she grows up quickly upon falling in love with Romeo, the son of her family’s great enemy. Because she is a girl in an aristocratic family, she has none of the freedom Romeo has to roam around the city, climb over walls in the middle of the night, or get into sword fights. Nevertheless, she shows amazing courage in trusting her entire life and future to Romeo, even refusing to believe the worst reports about him after he gets involved in a fight with her cousin. Juliet’s closest friend and confidant is her nurse, though she’s willing to shut the Nurse out of her life the moment the Nurse turns against Romeo.

Friar Lawrence

A Franciscan friar, friend to both Romeo and Juliet. Kind, civic-minded, a proponent of moderation, and always ready with a plan, Friar Lawrence secretly marries the impassioned lovers in hopes that the union might eventually bring peace to Verona. As well as being a Catholic holy man, Friar Lawrence is also an expert in the use of seemingly mystical potions and herbs.

Mercutio

A kinsman to the Prince, and Romeo’s close friend. One of the most extraordinary characters in all of Shakespeare’s plays, Mercutio overflows with imagination, wit, and, at times, a strange, biting satire and brooding fervor. Mercutio loves wordplay, especially sexual double entendres. He can be quite hotheaded, and hates people who are affected, pretentious, or obsessed with the latest fashions. He finds Romeo’s romanticized ideas about love tiresome and tries to convince Romeo to view love as a simple matter of sexual appetite.

The Nurse

Juliet’s nurse, the woman who breast-fed Juliet when she was a baby and has cared for Juliet her entire life. A vulgar, long-winded, and sentimental character, the Nurse provides comic relief with her frequently inappropriate remarks and speeches. But, until a disagreement near the play’s end, the Nurse is Juliet’s faithful confidante and loyal intermediary in Juliet’s affair with Romeo. She provides a contrast with Juliet, given that her view of love is earthy and sexual, whereas Juliet is idealistic and intense. The Nurse believes in love and wants Juliet to have a nice-looking husband, but the idea that Juliet would want to sacrifice herself for love is incomprehensible to her.

The Chorus

The Chorus is a single character who, as developed in Greek drama, functions as a narrator offering commentary on the play’s plot and themes.

Rosaline

The woman with whom Romeo is infatuated at the beginning of the play. Rosaline never appears onstage, but it is said by other characters that she is very beautiful and has sworn to live a life of chastity.

Peter

A Capulet servant who invites guests to Capulet’s feast and escorts the Nurse to meet with Romeo. He is illiterate, and a bad singer.

The Apothecary

An apothecary in Mantua. Had he been wealthier, he might have been able to afford to value his morals more than money, and refused to sell poison to Romeo.

Abram

Montague’s servant, who fights with Sampson and Gregory in the first scene of the play.

Sampson & Gregory

Two servants of the house of Capulet, who, like their master, hate the Montagues. At the outset of the play, they successfully provoke some Montague men into a fight.

Balthasar

Romeo’s dedicated servant, who brings Romeo the news of Juliet’s death, unaware that her death is a ruse.

Friar John

A Franciscan friar charged by Friar Lawrence with taking the news of Juliet’s false death to Romeo in Mantua. Friar John is held up in a quarantined house, and the message never reaches Romeo.

Prince Escalus

The Prince of Verona. A kinsman of Mercutio and Paris. As the seat of political power in Verona, he is concerned about maintaining the public peace at all costs.

Paris

A kinsman of the Prince, and the suitor of Juliet most preferred by Capulet. Once Capulet has promised him he can marry Juliet, he behaves very presumptuously toward her, acting as if they are already married.

Lady Montague

Romeo’s mother, Montague’s wife. She dies of grief after Romeo is exiled from Verona.

Montague

Romeo’s father, the patriarch of the Montague clan and bitter enemy of Capulet. At the beginning of the play, he is chiefly concerned about Romeo’s melancholy.

Lady Capulet

Juliet’s mother, Capulet’s wife. A woman who herself married young (by her own estimation she gave birth to Juliet at close to the age of fourteen), she is eager to see her daughter marry Paris. She is an ineffectual mother, relying on the Nurse for moral and pragmatic support.

Capulet

The patriarch of the Capulet family, father of Juliet, husband of Lady Capulet, and enemy, for unexplained reasons, of Montague. He truly loves his daughter, though he is not well acquainted with Juliet’s thoughts or feelings, and seems to think that what is best for her is a “good” match with Paris. Often prudent, he commands respect and propriety, but he is liable to fly into a rage when either is lacking.

Benvolio

Montague’s nephew, Romeo’s cousin and thoughtful friend. Benvolio makes a genuine effort to defuse violent scenes in public places, though Mercutio accuses him of having a nasty temper in private. He spends most of the play trying to help Romeo get his mind off Rosaline, even after Romeo has fallen in love with Juliet.

Tybalt

A Capulet, Juliet’s cousin on her mother’s side. Vain, fashionable, supremely aware of courtesy and the lack of it, he becomes aggressive, violent, and quick to draw his sword when he feels his pride has been injured. Once drawn, his sword is something to be feared. He loathes Montagues.

Summary:

Romeo and Juliet is the story of two persons who love each other but their family did not agree with their love.

The moral lesson of "Romeo and Juliet" lies in the exploration of the dangers of unbridled passion, the destructive power of prejudice and feuding, and the need for wise guidance and communication.

what the ever living fuck is wrong with these people?

they just use meghan as a punching bag, they dont see her as a person. they're so vile.
