Will Others Emulate Shakespeare and Write Great Works During Plague?: Because William Shakespeare wrote some of his greatest works 400 years ago as deadly plagues ravaged London, some literary scholars ponder what great works may emerge out of our current pandemic.

Gee, who knew Covid-19 was not only a deadly disease, but also a literary muse? Of course, some may argue that a new play isn’t really necessary, given that we’ve all been living inside a Shakespearean Tragedy for the past four years.

Anyway, as to what “great works” may emerge out of all this, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s not exactly easy composing a “great masterpiece,” especially when you’re limited to 280 characters.

That said, I’m quite optimistic those QAnon folks will come up with something real soon. In the meantime, I’d settle for a Trump concession speech. And, the funny thing is, it has over 76,000,000 co-authors.
