That one may smile and smile and be a villain.
(Hamlet, Act 1 Scene 5)

 

I am NOT not posting because there is nothing to post. It’s the exact opposite!

When you know what to look for, you begin to understand that EVERYTHING is one huge Never-Ending Story.

 

The picture above is by Caravaggio. We know the story. Herod, Herodias, John the Baptist.

 

 

Clytemnestra. Wife of Agamemnon, lover, then wife of Aegisthus. Mother of Orestes.

 

 

Now – Gertrude, the mother of Hamlet II, wife of Hamlet I, wife of Claudius.

We could go on and on. Same story. Different eras, different names.

Set and then reset.

I am finding this Hidden History Project quite difficult at the moment, to be honest.

 

Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.
