In Shakespeare's plays how difficult it is to not be king? |
Answer
Apparently incredibly difficult. Many Shakespeare characters had their downfalls because they wanted to be in a position of power... King, or something similar. The entire play King Lear is based on giving up a kingship and having people fight over it after that. Not what it is really about, but the guy certainly suffers for it. :)
Just a mirror of the real world though... people lusting after power, playing political games. Hamlet and other plays are just what happens today... except now it is in Congress or a Fortune 500 company instead of a kingdom.
