Iago:

They met so near with their lips that their breaths embrac'd together. When
these mutualies so marshall the way, hard at hand comes the master and main
exercise, th'incorporate conclusion!

Comment:        Re: SHK 7.0952 Re: Last Lines of Lear

May we approach the problem *formally* rather than *historically*? To whom
*should* these last lines be assigned?  And, granting only the argument of the
play, *why*?

Comment:        Re: SHK 7.0951 Re: Politics and Ossified Art

<< The most important document I have recently read on the subject of mixing
 politics and literature is Frank Lentricchia's recent contribution to the
 magazine *Lingua Franca*.  Once the "Dirty Harry" of literary theory," he
 has stopped teaching graduate students at Duke and retreated to the
 undergraduate classroom where he can share his love of the books themselves.
 He now thinks it is the height of arrogance for English teachers to use their
 classrooms to teach politics and sociology when there are whole departments
 assigned to that task.

 It's as if Robespierre had suddenly revealed that he was a nobleman, repudiated
 the French Revolution, and assumed his true nature.>>

Yes but the real question that faces Mr. Lentricchia is one Claudius
contemplates in Hamlet, namely: can you renounce the crime and keep the office?
Perhaps instead of lamenting the sorry state of pomo literary affairs he should
get to work cleaning up the mess he helped make.
