And in doing so, it draws us into a keener awareness of the courtly life about which Shakespeare wrote with such remarkable acuity and into a similar appreciation for the colorful, frequently playful, representation of commoners in his plays. The intermingling of such figures denotes something of Shakespeare's own journey, and warms us to the ideas that perhaps it was this commoner who would ultimately leave the modern world with one of the widest windows available into Elizabethan and Jacobean England. Thus, even if there is both cause to suggest that we don't have sufficient evidence to be assured of his authorship and cause to suggest that we have shreds of evidence connecting this authorship to figures such as Marlowe, Bacon or de Vere, the cause of evidence is far more compelling to suggest that Shakespeare was probably the author of most if not all of the works which are believed to be his.

This final dinner scene and the ensuing bloodbath wrings ever last possible ounce of gory drama out of the script; the talking ceases for a time while the camera observes the members of the dinner party all enjoying the pies that contain the blood and bones (and possibly the meat, although this isn't made explicit in either the script or the film) of Tamora's two sons. This makes the
Technology: Is it Moving Too Fast? Technology is reshaping the way people live their lives today in profound and sometimes unexpected ways. Indeed, the concept of using something new is always frightening for some people, and even the proponents of technological solutions caution that they can actually do more harm than good when they are not used in appropriate and meaningful ways that justify the investment required to apply them in
