The Theater Of Violence And The Violence Of Theater (And Sports)

“The great virtue of ancient tragedy is that it allowed the Greeks to see their role in a history of violence and war that was to some extent of their own making. It also allowed them to imagine a suspension of that cycle of violence. … From the beginning to the end, Shakespeare’s drama is a meditation on political violence.”
