Lisette's recent blog made me chuckle almose every other sentence. Your questions on Bill are ones that I have never thought about but needless to say, you have a point. Shakespeare write about some pretty F up'd things. Just take mythology asnd see what you find out..
So much of what we've covered so far has been very related to Ovid's Metamorpheses. From boars to rape. Ohhh so much rape!! There are several stories in Ovid that involve rape as well.... upon reading the RAPE of Lucrece I was reminded of a couple of these stories and thought I would share one with you. Just know all of these rapes are incurred by Jove or Zeus as some of you may know him as...
Io & Jove- Basically Jove wants Io and well...
"Then with a veil of heavy fog, the god concealed a vast expanse of land; Jove stopped her flight; he raped chaste Io." (Ovid 26)
Then when he gets caught like the scum that he is... what does he do? He doesn't want his wife to find out and so he turns poor Io into a cow...
