And appropriately, we have a peak example of a Shakespearean character in Viola de Lesseps. “Shakespearean” is an often-used adjective but what does it really mean? I’ve used it several times in this column to describe characters that represent archetypes seated in a long tradition. Forget everything you thought you knew about William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) from your high school English class: this movie details the untold story, in which he falls in love with noble Viola de Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow), almost gets killed several times, and … honestly, seems to plagiarize all of his ideas from other people?
