Wow- that was neat about Orhpeus and Eurydice and the relationship of that myth to the play. Whether or not Shakespeare intended that connection, who can know? But it was neat to read about it.

The whole article was fascinating. I have seen references to feast days before- but never like that. Thanks for posting that

I Liked the title "Certain speculations" LOL!

All and all, very interesting, but I don't go to Shakespeare to get Theology, and I put as much stock in the "certain speculations" as I do Pyramid-ology. They weave a good story though. I simply quoted him in a discussion about why, or why not, people commit suicide. I liked what you said about Willies ability to "convey universally accepted truth" That's probably why I mentioned Hamlet. Conscience of sin, or consciousness of right and wrong (Same thing), and the fear of death because of this awareness. These are universal experiences. The fact that he thinks death is undiscovered, or that he uses a ghost as a literary device to convey information, means squat. But that's another discussion and another topic. As I said, I don't get my Theology from plays.
