Fate and free will represent the classic tension between pre-determined outcomes and human agency. Which outcomes are fixed in advance by a higher power or destiny? Which outcomes are based on a human's self-directed choices?

And which camp do the characters in the Shakespeare canon fall into? In this episode, we discuss just that - who has a choice and who doesn't?

"We like to drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, driiiiink, driiiiiink, driiiiink!!!'

This episode brings to mind the operetta "The Pleasant Peasant" from I love Lucy. Why?? Because this episode is all about the characters in the Shakespeare canon that like to tie one on!!!! Which characters are complete lushes? And which characters are not necessarily drunkards, but alcohol destroys their life in one way or another? And what were common drinks that people used to pour down the throat in Elizabethan times?

Yeah, yeah, we know, we constantly harp on our shared belief that if you put a concept on a play, and particularly a Shakespeare play, it must ADD to the text and make the play better by its addition. Otherwise, it sucks.

So... in this episode, in what we think is chronological order, we go through every play in the canon and decide what we think would be a HORRIBLE idea for a concept for that play (or, in many cases, for ANY play).

Yeah.

Oh, and by the way, email us and tell us what you want us to talk about.

We do not mean the bovine kind, here folks... we are talking about grudges. Which characters in the canon have a beef with another character? Which characters do we have beefs with generally? And when do we have a beef with Shakespeare for writing what we think is stupid or impossible??

In this episode we dive deep down into the tallow (get it??). Join us!!

We have talked about many aspects of characters in the canon over the last six (!!!!) years, but during an off mic conversation, we realized that we have never specifically talked about those characters who are heads and tails above the others as far as intelligence goes!

In this episode, we do a deep dive into the mental power of the canon. Who do you think we missed??

Really... who and what can you trust these days??? It's bad enough to not be able to trust the media in the world today, but what about people? LA had been thinking about the Canadians she encountered during her trip to Newfoundland (AMAZING people!!!) and Owen suggested this topic.

Who are the people in the Shakespeare canon that one can ACTUALLY trust? With secrets, with errands of importance, with your life??

In this episode we dive in (while watching our backs).

Who do YOU think can and can't be trusted in the plays?

There are a LOT of selfish, self-centered, and self absorbed characters in Shakespeare. In this current climate (and we don't mean weather!), we've been thinking a LOT about this topic, so we decided to put these thoughts to good use.

So... who are the real narcissists and egomaniacs in the canon? We found a whole bunch - can you think of any we missed?? Write and tell us!!
