It's always the erm erm Neema. Plus all the "y'know", "does that make any sense?", "kinda like", etc. Fills up the time between paraphrasing American academics.
Not really. He just summed up a list of bad opinions of 20th century Marxist/Freudian academics. If you think this is detailed then the Penguin Shakespeare footnotes will blow your mind.
@@Sparkx100 And I was just leaving a negative comment for some awful, pretentious, textually incorrect and unoriginal Shakespeare commentary from a Ronald McDonald-funded, Stalin-loving, disgraced academic.
38:50 Shakespeare's characters seldom if ever seek salvation?! Try actually reading the plays rather than quote scholars who are either anti-Christian or so Christian that Shakespeare is not moralistically Christian enough for them. Academic Agent/Neema Parvini does not know Shakespeare; he rehashes the opinions of some bad scholars about Shakespeare. King Lear is constantly "looking up". He asks the gods for help, and to forgive him. As for Hamlet, salvation (of himself and others) is one of his major preoccupations. Of course Macbeth . Othello asks Desdemona to confess her sins to God before she dies, for her salvation; and to be careful not to lie. Does that sound like a man that cares not about salvation? Both Macbeth and Othello care about salvation but they feel doomed because they can't stop doing what they know is a sin. Obviously villains aren't going to stop being villains and ask God for salvation, because they're villains. This doesn't mean that Shakespeare is "pre-Christian" writer concerned only with nature! I suggest Neema Parvini buys a Shakespeare Concordance and looks up 'salvation' and other words related to the concept. Study the primary texts for a change.
Nice to hear AA with Uncle Ed, even if it's the "erm, erm, erm" AA.
He has a habit of this when on others podcasts. Much prefers his cave in Wales going solo.

This is making my nerdy heart gush!
Fantastic overview of Macbeth and Shakespeare. Wonderfully detailed.

AA truly in his element.
@@jankymcjangles3817 Grifting is his element. He's admitted that he doesn't like or read Shakespeare, or indeed any fiction.
31:02 "Muckbeth and Muckduff?" First time I've "hyurd" them pronounced like that.
