Abstract
In this Working Paper containing excerpts of my upcoming book I argue that the historical background that forms the setting for William Shakespeare's plays is what influenced the themes of true love, war and death. I argue that loyalty to Empire is a theme that William Shakespeare pays allegiance to and Shakespeare is critical of love that betrays this loyalty in politics.
