Yes, and that Satanic influence is incredibly pervasive today. Shakespeare’s plays are a “humanizing” influence on those who read them.
My wife and I have been reading a recent book (not Shakespeare related, but its themes help to explain the current academic environment, and attempts to cancel literature and all products of the Western genius)... “The Devil and Karl Marx”, by Paul Kengor. I recommend it highly.
Marx’s circle of “friends” (it’s debatable that he ever had a true friend... he turned on everyone who was close to him in the bitterest ways) gave us “modernity” and the “academy” that we’re facing at the moment.
Kengor cites numerous examples from Marx’s own writings which illustrate clearly his devotion to Satan. Frankly it is a horrifying read.
What jumped out at me recently are the writings of one of Marx’s university pals; Ludwig Feuerbach, who developed the “new criticism” which attacked the authenticity of scripture - a mainstay in modern academia - and sadly of far too many seminaries.
We haven’t gotten too far into the book, but thus far, it has been worth the read.
