Comrade Shakespeare – turn the plague a virtue

At a time when art is not very popular, the big classics are also used primarily to knock them down on their usefulness. Even in front of the comrade Shakespeare is not stopped. Books like »PowerPlays. What bosses from Shakespeare can learn, “follow your courage and storm! Shakespeare for managers «and the simple but programmatically titled» Shakespeare for managers «testify to this.

Only one – unintentional – parody remains of art. Andreas T. Sturm presented the parody of such a parody. »The Shakespeare principle. 13 Paths to success «is one of his books that picks up the banalities of the guide literature and illustrates with extensive admission to Shakespeare’s life and work.

The managers skillfully connects Sturm with a well -known and absorbed from Shakespeare’s vita. The guide of the guideline is compensated for with an illuminated from Elisabethan times. The joke arises from this that the success author Shakespeare was the first test to play the “principle of Shakespeare” for us and that we have sold something entertaining and cashly effective due to prudence, skill, fine feeling, which sometimes has to be steadily, frightening, difficult to digest.

Now, dear reader, you ask yourself why I, whom I could at least deal with William Shakespeare a little, have to leave a few lines every two weeks at this point and, in between, criticize, glossy, report other newspaper. Does this look like the resounding success of a writer? Of course not.

It is not enough to read Shakespeare as I did. You also have to misunderstand it. Good luck!
