Based on Hannah Ahrendt's "The Banality of Evil"(*1),  Tobias Döring,  unconsciously or consciously, must have felt the need to express that we are not able to imagine, ( - corresponding to the unimaginable "evil" of  Adolf Eichmann) the unimaginable  "genius" of William Shakespeare in the conventionality of the ordinary Stratford man..
