“In Shakespeare’s works, each of us has a certain destiny. We can try to thwart it or challenge it, but ultimately we must align ourselves with it. The consequences of doing otherwise depend on the world in question. If the world is benign, you get slapped around a bit and fall in line.

In either case, once Shakespeare’s characters discover who they really are, the world harmonizes; it falls into place.” RT The Atlantic
