Conclusion 186 Bibliography 194 List of images 202 Összegzés 205 v Chapter 1 Introduction In my dissertation I do not wish to point out that Shakespeare was a theologian or that his intention was to preach any religious doctrine through his dramatic art. Yet, there are several instances in which it can be clearly shown that Shakespeare drew on the Scripture and that his dramas reflect the general Christian doctrines of his age. In my dissertation I do not wish to point out either that Shakespearean drama was utilized as a medium for expressing Christian doctrine or theological theses. I share the view of G. Wilson Knight, however, that Christ’s sacrifice can be seen as central or focal point of Shakespearean tragedy.1 In this present dissertation I would like to point out the references of Shakespearean drama to widely discussed religious topics. The connection of Shakespearean text to religious doctrines are apparent, moreover, as I will point out, too striking as not to take them into account. The question of free will and supernatural influence on human fate has always stirred up human anxiety, and Shakespeare, with his philosophical sensitivity, referred to these anxieties. Battenhouse points out that the dramatic form creates the logic of a parable similar to those of Jesus', who challenged his audience to distinguish good and evil.2 Christian allusions, however, might be misleading, and the "truth of the drama can be overlooked by readers who look to Shakespeare simply as a storehouse of moral sentiments". 3 Concerning the justification of Christian interpretation of Shakespearean drama today, Battenhouse claims that the Christian dimension to those resisting Christian mystery is similar to the Paulian scandal of the cross.4 In the followings, I will attempt to interpret Shakespeare's Christian allusions as "more than decorative"5 and I will try to highlight the referred religious dimension, to be more specific, the awareness of a supernatural power operating in the universe in Shakespeare's Macbeth. We do not, however, know much of Shakespeare’s Christianity, but that he was baptised and was well-read in the Bible presumably via listening to readings and 1 Steven Marx, Shakespeare and the Bible. (New York: Oxford University Press) 7. 2 Roy Battenhouse, "Preface," in Shakespeare's Christian Dimension, ed. Roy Battenhouse (Bloomington & Indianapolis: Indiana University Press, 1994), xi.

  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)
    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

  • DRAGONLANCE! Actually, the Name of the World Is Krynn
    Another world, another adventure. Another reality to explore, a thrilling new … library? A library, complete with the faintly musty smell of old tomes. Long tall stacks of books, scrolls, and tablets run the length of the chamber you find yourself in. Seated at a desk near the back of the chamber is a lone figure. He scratches away with quill and ink on a scroll, pausing only to wet his quill in a small inkpot and look into a crystal globe located to his left. “Astinus of Palanthas, Master of the Library of Palanthas and Historian of Krynn. He keeps a record of everything that happens here. Everything of note, at least. Most people think he’s immortal or some kind of god. No one seems to know for certain, though.” No one? Your Benefactor smiles one of those little smiles you’ve become so familiar with. “Well, maybe not no one. Maybe you’ll figure it out and tell me all about it?” Seemingly bored with that train of thought, your Benefactor turns away from you and runs their hands along the stacks. “So here we are: DRAGONLANCE! Actually, the name of the world is Krynn. Dragonlance is the title given to the intellectual property created, ‘created,’ by Margret Weiss and Tracy Hickman. So, if you’d like to take a minute to read up on what this place is about, now’s the time and here’s the place to do it. Or I can just give you the Chain’s Notes. Get it? Chain’s Notes? It’s like Cliff’s Notes, but … never mind.” “In the beginning was The High God and from the Beyond he called forth Paladine, Gilean and Takhisis, good, neutral and evil gods respectively.
