Just added an article I wrote back in 2022 after watching Netflix's new adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion. With Netflix's new 'progressive' Pride and Prejudice coming up, I am still asking the same questions (and of course Shakespeare gets a mention)

Greek men of military age were denied passage out of #Turkey in Sep 1922 with their expelled families, regardless of their combatant status. They were marched into the interior where they were tortured before the majority were massacred. Over 100,000 Greek men met their fate in this way.

Then, since the heavens have shaped my body so,
Let hell make crook’d my mind to answer it.
