Rape of Lucrece, The by William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) LibriVox The Rape of Lucrece (1594) is a narrative poem by William Shakespeare about the legendary Lucretia. Lucrece draws on the story described in both Ovid's Fasti and Livy's history of Rome. In 509 BC, Sextus Tarquinius, son of Tarquin, the king of Rome, raped Lucretia (Lucrece), wife of Collatinus, one of the king's aristocratic retainers. As a result, Lucrece committed suicide. Her body was paraded in the Roman Forum by the king's nephew. This incited a full-scale revolt against the Tarquins led by Lucius Junius Brutus, the banishment of the royal family, and the founding of the Roman republic.

Eso es lo que agrada a Dios. La dignidad delhombre reside en su vocación a la comunión con Dios, que ofrece sincesar, pero que el hombre puede olvidar, desconocer e, incluso, recha-zar. Como dice Francisco: “Cuando el hombre se aparta de Dios y desus mandamientos, y se establece él mismo como norma y regla de suactuar, puede llegar a cometer verdaderas aberraciones”.
