I often wondered for how long Shakespeare, once the core of the English language departments at most Anglo universities, would survive thee invasion of woke. Well, Bill’s number is up. While not yet banned, it is on the way. The first step is to marginalise the works. Thus, many British universities are adding trigger warnings to Shakespeare and Greek tragedies. One such warning stated, “Tragedy is a genre obsessed with violence and suffering, often of a sexual or graphic kind, and so some of the content might be triggering for some students.” There are even warnings about depictions of rural life; anything that might frighten Left wing snowflakes. What a bunch; how will they possibly survive the hard times ahead, when tragedy arises to engulf them?
What to be done? Well, what can one do with a structure that has been thoroughly eaten away by white ants? Tear it down and rebuild.
