"...one may smile and smile and be a villain!"

Shakespeare is remembered for the plays he wrote but most people never read them in their entirety. Yet we live in a world that still contains smiling villains and encompasses the treachery and power that Shakespeare describes. So we may remember lines and themes and neologisms more than the entirety of his works, but we understand completely what he means when we see Vladimir Putin and Mohammed Bin Salman grinning and high fiving each other at the G20.
