Shame

quote]
Anyway, this is a comedy. Shakespeare knows
women best in his tragedies, 'cause true power is
tragic
and women have true power. Men are more the attempt to curb the irrepressible will of women.[/

The poem is a comedy? Men don’t have “true”
power? Men don’t have an irrepressible will? His whole existence is just a doomed uphill battle?[/

Romeo and Juliet is an enigma then. Who is whimsical here, who has the will, who has the power?
There is a relation between power and will, that’s hard
To subscribe to.
A mechanistic view may be that of a teeter-totter. Wherever the fulcrum is, which hypothetically adjusted for a balance between two unequal weights.
If in fact the motion should be continued, they have to be separated and move away from the center in different, opposite directions. So the vastly heavier, has to move away only a little bit.
The light one has to move way, way out, sort of like
out on a limb.
It can not even be seen, that’s how far. It can only be felt, where the equilibrium can not be merely a whimsical charade. There, the power becomes indistinguishable from whose will, the perpetuamobile continues and why?; because for that answer, It has to reach way down into logic, and it’s certainty, but without the light of seeing, how would the light of reason eminate?
So even though the are separate, they are essentially not only similar, but identical. They have to be perceived as identical, in absolute union. Here, whimsy has no place.
