Byron speaks up-
(found this, while looking for some of the first exchanges that I had, at Lit.)
"Ow! (also, lol) Um, excuse DCL. He speaks in VP-person."
"While I love the play, I loved your reduction too. The flaws are just aching to be parodied. Reading this play is similar to watching Triumph of the Will. It's a propaganda piece, done by a true artist. Many will reject it simply because of its flawed message, but when you understand the history of the time and the environment in which it was written, its value as art can be better appreciated."
"Shakespeare poured serious hours into this one, because the legitimacy of his sovereign, Elizabeth, was at issue. Somehow, the facts of history had to be reconciled with the idea that the man from whom her grandfather usurped the crown was the most evil human ever to grace our fair planet."
