Reiteration

I agree with everything that's been said. However, I don’t think the looseness in reference to his rule or the looseness in reference to his morality should be separated. Instead, I think his inability to rule a country is a reflection of his inability to govern himself. Kent goes on to call the king unnatural- whether he’s referring to the unnatural excess of his lusts or his unnatural ability to suck so bad as a king we don’t know- and goes on to tie his cherishing of flatterers to his mismanagement of affairs and subsequent killing of those who started a civil war to try to dethrone him because of his ill behavior as a king. As was mentioned in class, it was interesting to actually put this on a stage. It may have garnered arrest and trial for treason but now it’s the norm. We now believe we have a right to know every detail about the lives of those who make decisions for our country. Big deals are made out of personal situations because we feel that if our leaders mismanage their lives then they are certainly in no shape to manage the fate of our country. It’s interesting to see now how hard it was to question the king’s motives (barons were killed for it so you know common folk didn’t say nothing) and compare that to today.
