Cue the Nothing Montage.
Cordelia upon Cordelia saying “Nothing” and “Nothing, my lord.”
Followed by Lear upon Lear with “Nothing will come of Nothing” and all the other Lear characters who reference this nothing again and again.
Cue also Julie Andrews singing “Nothing comes from Nothing. Nothing ever could.”
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
There must be, too, some nihilism in the Nothing montage.
Vast landscapes of nothing.
Zeroes.
Mushroom clouds.
It’s remarkable how quickly nothing turns to SOMETHING.
There is almost nothing that is well and truly nothing.
