@[mumford613:14728] Ok I've never done this before but I actually created an account because you are so wrong. Even if Richard III was ever styled "Lionheart" by anyone, which he wasn't - barely a century after his rule, during Queen Elizabeth's reign, where anything written against the monarchy was punishable by DEATH, Shakespeare was able to write about Richard III in a seriously negative light - your example out of the lyrics of the song exhibit your ignorance on the subject. "Your grace is wasted in your face," implies that the person acts badly, but looks good. This operates on the assumption that any one person is given a finite amount of grace, and in this case the grace has gone to physical appearance rather than actions/morality. The worst part about this is that "Roll Away Your Stone" may indeed be influenced by Macbeth. You are manipulating a reader who has a cursory knowledge of Shakespeare by using your earlier analysis to build credulity for this one, when this has absolutely no validity whatsoever. I think any Shakespeare fan would agree. I also think you really should have spent more time doing proper research. Thank God for people like Sif, who have the courage to contradict incorrect statements even in the face of such pretentious idiocy. |
