Question

Helmholtz calls Shakespeare a ""marvelous propaganda technician."" How does he explain Shakespeareâs success?

Answer 1

Answer:

Helmholtz got into trouble for sharing a rhyme with his clas, the rhyme was then challenging the student’s conditioning. He then fully elaborated the rhyme to John who thought it better to share his own version through reading Romeo and Juliet for Helmholtz. Firstly, Helmholtz was impressed by the level of artistry being conveyed but then as the poem went on and the issue of mothers, fathers and lovers was introduced, the poem became hilarious.Firstly he agreed that Shakespeare was very good in his writing and nothing in their time compares. However, when John read the third act, Helmholtz was unable to restrain himself and cut the poem reading short. To him it did not make sense that the parents were choosing a lover for Juliet. He then stated that it is because the man was exposed to emotions and relationship attachments and that it is these aspects that helped him come up with very effective phrases.
