Allisnum2er Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 6 hours ago, Eric Roberts said: "He is always unjust, who either envies or favors" Interestingly, the original sentence by Cicero is "Semper dignitatis iniquus judex est, qui aut invidet , aut favet " that is not exactly the same. For Cicero, "They (People) are always unjust judges of dignity, who either envies or favors". In "Like Will to like" , "They are always unjust, who either envies or favors" AND "they are unrightfull judges all." The concept of "Dignity" is missing! It reminded me the complete title of Francis Bacon's Book published in 1623. https://enzyklothek.de/allgemeinenzyklopädien/englische-enzyklopädien/systematische-enzyklopädien/bacon-1623-–-de-dignitate "De dignitate et augmentis scientiarum libros IX" ...

A Phoenix Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 When towards the end of his recorded life Bacon revised and greatly enlarged the Advancement for its Latin translation De Augmentis Scientiarum Libri IX he reprinted the original fragment of the Colours of Good and Evil printed in the first edition of his Essays to which he added a further two colours even though this was still only a small fraction of the material found in his private Promus of Formularies and Elegances. After the twelfth and final colour of good and evil (sophism) he makes an astonishing admission: #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare #ShakespeareAuthorship #LikeWillToLike Paper: https://www.academia.edu/45176854/The_play_Like_Will_to_Like_written_by_Francis_Bacon_when_he_was_only_seven_years_old_one_of_three_works_written_in_the_name_of_Ulpian_Fulwell_and_their_links_to_the_Shakespeare_Plays Video: https://youtu.be/y42VMzO0ztY 3 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 He plainly states that some of his colours of good and evil he collected in his youth (OED: ‘period between childhood and adult age’) thus about the same time as his first play Like Will to Like in which he explored the same themes or colours of good and evil, a theme that flooded his consciousness from childhood all the way through to his very last days. #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare #ShakespeareAuthorship #LikeWillToLike Paper: https://www.academia.edu/45176854/The_play_Like_Will_to_Like_written_by_Francis_Bacon_when_he_was_only_seven_years_old_one_of_three_works_written_in_the_name_of_Ulpian_Fulwell_and_their_links_to_the_Shakespeare_Plays Video: https://youtu.be/y42VMzO0ztY 1 2 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 The concepts of good and evil, which as he himself tells us, were formed in his childhood were part of his intellectual and dramatic consciousness. As his complex mind developed he acquired a cerebral state of awareness and realisation that these two fundamental pillars of the mind good and evil governed and regulated attitudes, reason, and the psychological and emotional processes, of human behaviour. #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare #ShakespeareAuthorship #LikeWillToLike Paper: https://www.academia.edu/45176854/The_play_Like_Will_to_Like_written_by_Francis_Bacon_when_he_was_only_seven_years_old_one_of_three_works_written_in_the_name_of_Ulpian_Fulwell_and_their_links_to_the_Shakespeare_Plays Video: https://youtu.be/y42VMzO0ztY 2 1 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 The concepts of good and evil not only affected the individual themselves, but all those around them and those that they came into contact with-family, friends and their wider social circles, seeping into all areas and aspects of their private and public lives. Equally true in the cases of ordinary people, through all social classes, and right up to and including popes, kings and queens, whose good and evil values, attitudes and decisions created and destroyed kingdoms and empires resulting in the cost of millions of lives and untold suffering. #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare #ShakespeareAuthorship #LikeWillToLike Paper: https://www.academia.edu/45176854/The_play_Like_Will_to_Like_written_by_Francis_Bacon_when_he_was_only_seven_years_old_one_of_three_works_written_in_the_name_of_Ulpian_Fulwell_and_their_links_to_the_Shakespeare_Plays Video: https://youtu.be/y42VMzO0ztY 1 2 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 In his Shakespearean Tragedy, regarded as one of the greatest works of Shakespearean criticism of all time, Professor Bradley presents a study of the four great tragedies-Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth-in which he brilliantly sets out their moral universe and their critical central theme of good and evil: #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare #ShakespeareAuthorship #LikeWillToLike Paper: https://www.academia.edu/45176854/The_play_Like_Will_to_Like_written_by_Francis_Bacon_when_he_was_only_seven_years_old_one_of_three_works_written_in_the_name_of_Ulpian_Fulwell_and_their_links_to_the_Shakespeare_Plays Video: https://youtu.be/y42VMzO0ztY 3 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Professor Bradley 'Let us attempt then to re-state the idea that the ultimate power in the tragic world is a moral order. Let us put aside the ideas of justice and merit, and speak simply of good and evil. Let us understand by these words, primarily, moral good and evil, but also everything else in human beings which we take to be excellent or the reverse. Let us understand the statement that the ultimate power or order is ‘moral’ to mean that is does not show itself indifferent to good and evil, or equally favourable or unfavourable to both, but shows itself akin to good and alien from evil. And, understanding the statement thus, let us ask what grounds it has in the tragic fact as presented by Shakespeare. In Shakespearean tragedy the main source of the convulsion which produces suffering and death is never good: good contributes to this convulsion only from its tragic implication with its opposite in one and the same character. The main source, on the contrary, is in every case evil; and, what is more (though this seems to have been little noticed), it is in almost every case evil in the fullest sense, not mere imperfection but plain moral evil…And the inference is obvious. If it is chiefly evil that violently disturbs the order of the world, this order cannot be friendly to evil or indifferent between evil and good, any more than a body which is convulsed by poison is friendly to it or indifferent to the distinction between poison and food.'

A Phoenix Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 Professor Charney says 'very early in his career he started to think of the villain in specific ways, probably related to the Vice figure in the morality plays.' Maurice Charney, Shakespeare’s Villains (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013) , p. 19. The figure of the Vice so vividly presented in Like Will to Like hovers around all these villains, and many more of the villains and characters in his Shakespeare plays. #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare #ShakespeareAuthorship #LikeWillToLike Paper: https://www.academia.edu/45176854/The_play_Like_Will_to_Like_written_by_Francis_Bacon_when_he_was_only_seven_years_old_one_of_three_works_written_in_the_name_of_Ulpian_Fulwell_and_their_links_to_the_Shakespeare_Plays Video: https://youtu.be/y42VMzO0ztY 3 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 The Vice Figure in Shakespeare In Shakespeare and the Allegory of Evil: The History of a Metaphor in Relation to his Major Villains Professor Spivack details the influence of the Vice figure primarily through four Shakespeare villains: Aaron the Moor in Titus Andronicus, Richard in Richard III, Don John in Much Ado About Nothing and Iago in Othello. These wicked characters delight in mischief for its own sake and have their lineal antecedents in the tradition of the morality play and are evil personified. Professor Spivack shows that these evil characters trace directly back to the Vice figure in the morality play. With the purpose of moral instruction the morality play dramatized the battle between good and evil, or vice and virtue, for possession and control of the human soul. In the Shakespearean universe of the tragedies evil ‘severs “the holy cords” of love and loyalty, cancels and tears to pieces the great bond that holds the universe in order’. The same evil which struts its stuff in the form of Lucifer and Newfangle the Vice in Like Will to Like and its cast of villains wonderfully described by Professor Spivak in his summary of the play.

A Phoenix Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 The Vice and Richard III Arguably, the most Vice-like character in the Shakespeare canon is the evil dastardly Richard III with all his constant chameleon shifts and deceits and seemingly unending plotting and scheming in bringing the downfall and murder of those around him. His Vice-like characteristics, attitudes and qualities have not gone unnoticed by editors of the play. The striking similarities between Newfangle the Vice in Like Will to Like and Richard the Vice-like figure in Richard III are quite remarkable. At the beginning of Like Will to Like Newfangle the Vice enters the stage alone and describes himself telling the audience of how he was first born and how he made his journey into hell where he was bound apprentice to the Lucifer the Devil who on joining him sets about plotting the downfall and death of others in the play. This is precisely the opening of Richard III where in Vice-like mode Richard introduces the play by outlining his evil plans for the death and destruction of those all around him and later in the play he proudly declares ‘Thus like the formal Vice, Iniquity,/I moralize two meanings in one word’ (3:1: 82-3). The play Like Will to Like and Richard III share a common heritage and provenance. The characteristics, attitudes and traits of the Vice in Like Will to Like are present in Richard III and much of the stage-craft of both dramatic characters are on display in both dramas, the one only merely a more complex and sophisticated version, of the other: #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare #ShakespeareAuthorship #LikeWillToLike Paper: https://www.academia.edu/45176854/The_play_Like_Will_to_Like_written_by_Francis_Bacon_when_he_was_only_seven_years_old_one_of_three_works_written_in_the_name_of_Ulpian_Fulwell_and_their_links_to_the_Shakespeare_Plays Video: https://youtu.be/y42VMzO0ztY 3 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Falstaff and the Vice In addition to the influence of the Vice figure on numerous Shakespeare villains his characteristics of moral depravity and high farce the Vice is also a comic figure who tries to seduce the mind and soul of the protagonist into dissolute and evil ways. In the Oxford edition of I Henry IV its editor Professor Bevington under the heading of ‘Falstaff and the Vice’ describes the influence of the Vice figure who makes lewd jokes and obscene banter, engages in physical and sexual horseplay, and possesses the morality of the cesspit, on Falstaff, and the influence of Like Will to Like, on the other drunken members of his motley crew. #FrancisBacon #Shakespeare #ShakespeareAuthorship #LikeWillToLike Paper: https://www.academia.edu/45176854/The_play_Like_Will_to_Like_written_by_Francis_Bacon_when_he_was_only_seven_years_old_one_of_three_works_written_in_the_name_of_Ulpian_Fulwell_and_their_links_to_the_Shakespeare_Plays Video: https://youtu.be/y42VMzO0ztY 3 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
