This essay is truly unique. Until now, I had never read anything offering an interpretation of Shakespeare's plays. As a beginner, I must say that nothing could have been better than yours. You did an excellent job summarizing and presenting this Shakespearean play to those unfamiliar with it before reading your essay.

I’ve been rereading 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson, alongside Beyond Order. I found your essay somewhat relatable to some of his ideas in sections on self-deception and arrogance.

A question arises: What about the person "A" who has done something wrong—something he knows is wrong, such as stealing or harming another person? It’s not that he didn’t know it was wrong at the time; his conscience objected, but he ignored it with arrogance, self-deceit, or some justification.
Now, when he sees another person, "B," stealing or harming a third person, "C," or even himself (person A), one part of A might try to object to or judge B's behavior. However, another part of A may hesitate to object strongly, not wanting to act at all or choosing to ignore it. This hesitation arises from the realization that A himself is not a saint—he is not without guilt—he has committed wrong deeds or sinned.
Should an old murderer, whether punished or not for his actions, judge or object to a new murder?
