Earlier today I put tights on Fionn, to [livejournal.com profile] theophile's delight.

"Oh, I love seeing him in tights! He is like a little Hamlet!"

"Oh no!" I exclaimed. "But Hamlet was murdered!"

"Hamlet wasn't murdered," said [livejournal.com profile] theophile--"it's not murder if it's that...convoluted."

"It's baroque murder!" I exclaimed, then wondered out loud if that was, in fact, a concept that was ever used.

[livejournal.com profile] theophile suggested that it was used "to talk about murders that happened during the Baroque epoch."

But--seriously--baroque murder, anyone? And in what context?
