Grim death, how foul and loathsome is thine image!

— Lord, The Taming Of The Shrew: Induction 1, 

Hello, friends.  This is Elica Miwa, a theatre director/actor in Japan.  Today’s Shakespeare For You is of the Lord in Induction 1 of The Taming Of The Shrew.

[Hakken (discovery)]

The Lord is looking at a drunken man Sly sleeping in front of the door of an inn.

The citizens of Shakespearean time must have had many chances to see dead bodies, and felt untouchable.  

If I were to play the Lord, there are some choices.

CHOICE1

I may simply detouched from sympathetic feeling and detest it,

CHOICE 2

with much sympathy, just like The Duke in As YouLike It, when he sees dying old Adam in the forest of Arden.

CHOICE 3

with much scientific interests and even try to look closer.

How interesting Shakespeare is!
