Lawrence Fishburne and Kenneth Branagh in Othello |
Motive is what prosecutors and mystery writers look for. You may find yourself baffled when your husband or wife suddenly walks out on you. Only later do the revealing instances become apparent. Hindsight is 20/20 and foresight tends at best to myopia. Then there are the whole gallery of people who knew what you refused to see and might even have experienced some guilty schadenfreudian delight in seeing the fall of a person they had always regarded as smug and self- satisfied. If you've been rebuked by your therapist for disliking happy people, here is your revenge. What role do the machinations of fate play? By avoiding a prophecy Oedipus famously brings about the very thing he fears. Sound familiar? On a microcosmic level, it happens every day.
