“I Play The Man I Am”
Michael White, in tehgraun:
[Gordon] Brown is a Shakespearian tragedy in the making, says one MP: Othello’s jealousy, Hamlet’s indecision, the futile rage of Lear and Brutus’s weakness for bad advice. “But at least we’ve got rid of the Macbeths.”
OR
Hamlet’s dark attractiveness, Lear’s commanding oratory, Othello’s victimisation by the prejudiced status quo and Brutus’ education. With Macbeth’s – er – Scottishness.
(I am preparing a Macbeth tutorial this afternoon and am as yet not fully in command of its contents.)
