(my comments on “`Patrick Gray on Shakespeare`_” by author)


.. _`Patrick Gray on Shakespeare`:
    https://historyofphilosophy.net/shakespeare-gray

I completely agree with other people on this comment page that
this might be well among the best episodes of the whole podcast.

There were three main points where 

1. Artistotles’s unitites

2. Shakespeare as a conservative Chrsitian and “studies in
   negation” … why are Romeo and Juliet so stupid and how it is
   sad, that we now use the play for exactly opposite it was
   intended (“All you need is love” is nonsense).

3. Our image of the ancient Rome comes from Shakespeare (and
   Racin)
