Shakespeare’s Tragic Flaw....... [a Literary Treat] Comments

Is this a true poem or a rhyme?

Indeed this was a literary treat! I've always found poetry in science and science in poetry, whether in theatre or in lab, one must not fall short of the true flaw: to be human. Wondwerfully written beyond my expectations; even shakespeare would be proud!

A powerful work, intense, deep, the whole lot of hypothesis humans can’t find in, complicated collection of Shakespearian tragedy, Abha, you handled well on a designer comfort, all those characters a visual treat in conceptual schemes, perfect for a 10.

Hamlet is consistent when it's a question of wasting something or somebody, except his stepfather. King Lear lives the tragedy of the incompetent authority in an old, he's an unrealistic incapable. Macbeth has got his double in his wife and without her he's not able to do anything, to commit suicide either. Instead Othello is able to commit suicide, homicide, to revenge a terribly deep interior wound.

You have captured the quintessence of four of the great bard's major plays with incredible succinctness and erudition. You have ripped through the externals to get to the kernal. Take care

Nice poem-both entertaining and educational. I have a friend who has read everything Shakespeare ever wrote, often reading the plays and sonnets multiple times. I'll direct him to your poem. He'll find it delightful. He is working on a theory (shared by many Shakespeare scholars) that Shakespeare did not write the plays, because he simply did not have the educational background to compose such language.

educative..thanks for sharng

hmmmmm...... well not sure, i never read shakespear so dont know what to say..... ----*over and out, the devilz work is done*-------------

Intelligently woven poem.I remember one scholar saying, Brevity is the soul of wit.You have synchronized Poetics and Shakespearean Concept of Tragedy in a short poem.Great combination of words to perform this Miracle.The whole concept of Tragedy can be under stood by this poem. Great experience. regards. Anil Kumar

Clever! Brillant and insightful!

Abha, this is brilliant - what a clever premise on which to build a poem and what wit and masterful penning is the result. As one for whom the Bard's words are embedded in mind and heart, who has played the roles of Ophelia, Desdemona, and lady Macbeth (sadly I never got to play Cordelia) I applaud you in this original and wittily conceived poem. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

A potent and brilliant write Abha! ! I agree with your note at bottom totally! ! *10*! ! Great read! ! Best regards! Friend Thad

My eyes spotted the name right away, what a treat it is too, my first poem read of yours too, I give it 10 out of 10... Andrew

Absolutely astonishing; I love it! ~Kristy~

You clearly have an amazing command of literature. The great thing about this poem is that there are so many references that flow together so nicely, that not only do you get a great mental picture, you also can really appreciate the flow. That is often hard to do...excellent job as always.

Let me see if I can reconstruct :) and do excuse this attempt, as I am starting anew :) Well. if I had wanted to direct a learner to a crash course in Shakespearean Tragedy, which was poetically delivered, succinct and comprehensive, all the elements of the flaw in place, this is what it would be! Am amazed at the way you have compressed, after identifying, and relating to the insight of Aristotle, each of those characteristics that, in brevity deliver eloquence! Brilliant!

what a poetic glaze splashes the the words of wisdom life yet roll and rills by the flaws all when wrought by the noble thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , , ecstatically erudite, yet a glow of scholastic vision, fantastically versed, well penned,10+, thanks for sharing

Many in the society-fortunate or unfortunate, right or wrong -prove to be a mix of Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and Lear! -All the flaws of Shakespeare rolled into a human being! A real life experience! From a philosophic angle! Not as a student of Shakespeare!

Well written and a tribute to the genius.A lot of care has been taken to make it poetic while being educative.Thanks Abha...

The rim of your poetic chalice doth rise high, and over its threshold, of pour, young lady! Philosophy, so mercurial...yet you disect the complex lexicon, and serve us with digestable interp.Adroit, and astute penning, Abha. As far as your authors note in your allusion to the great Aristotle, i concur with both you and Jim. Pathosity, in general will eventually jog catharsis...so long as desire & faith be its primary vehicles. ~ FjR~ ..2008..
