Most honour’d Cleon, I must needs be gone;
-Pericles
Pericles, Prince of Tyre Act III Scene iii, Line 1
I'm not sure where he needs be gone to, but Pericles is
heading out somewhere or the other, and he leaves his baby girl Marina in the
care of Cleon, the governor of Tarsus. A scene or two from now we will find
Marina fully grown and living in a house of prostitution. So that should give
you an idea of how good a job Cleon does taking care of Marina. Well, to be fair, it’s Cleon’s wife
Dionyza who ends up being the baddy in this respect, and it’s jealousy that’s
the driver.
That’s a pretty interesting
name, Dionyza. I used the google and found a young lady with that name who
sings. I wonder if her parents were Shakespeareans. If not, how did they come
up with that name? Interesting.
Anyway, here is
Dionyza’s song I Told Myself. I thought
it was pretty good.
