Shakespeare for postmodernists
"Existence or its antithesis, that is the discursive frame which requires, calls for, indeed demands, critical interrogation:
Whether subjective value judgements may be made vis a vis the slings, arrows, and so forth, from the members of that class of projectile weapons which we may tentatively formulate, and iteratively reformulate, as 'outrageous fortune',
Or whether we privilege the reflexive brandishment of such tools ourselves in a combative stance with regard to a putative 'trouble-sea',
And through the resulting tensions, attenuations, wearing-downs, and so on, reach a stasis of resolution."
- William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1.
