I remember
You did supplant your brother Prospero.
Antonio
True.
And look how well my garments sit upon me
The Tempest, Shakespeare
The subject of usurpation has been a major one in history, as old as civilization itself. It has been a recurrent theme in the works of the great William Shakespeare, unequalled among the dramatists of all time. Many of his plays have plots and themes that revolve around a world controlled by flawed governance, by usurpation – the unlawful theft of governments, the obsession for power in the mind of man, or the seizing of kingships by illegitimate pretenders.
