| Description | Deaths open up spaces in social and personal relations: this is how Nigel Llewellyn incisively introduces the idea of fragmentation produced by death at the level of familial and societal fabric alike. Crevices in the household order destabilize the family, but may also have repercussions at the level of the community, raising anxiety about loss of cohesion, as well as 'loss of social differentiation. Leveller Death treats everybody in the same way, making no distinction between the rich and the poor. In early modern England this sense of undifferentiated loss was to be 'resisted by the ritual' and preserved through social visibility. The monumentalization of the natural body had the aim of occulting decay and, in its place, determining the permanence of the social body through a process 'charged with the task of re-establishing social difference'. Yet, the natural body is eventually silenced and there remains but the voice of the monumental body bespeaking excision and forgetfulness. Book Name: Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, and Civic Life |
