    "Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are"  Milton   I Read Hamlet the other day.  It had changed considerably since I last read it.  Hamlet himself was somewhat thinner, I thought; but he had also mellowed considerably; he was rather less cynical and a little more tolerant than he had been.  Polonius was definitely more senile than before. Ophelia was less silly, and more of a pathetic figure than ever.  Laertes was exactly the same: that sort of young man does not change; but Osrichad distinctly grown up.  The Queen was a little fatter; and the King's teeth seemed to me to be needing attention.  These were the principal changes I noticed in the play....

  • Analyzing Shakespeare´s Account of Human Nature in King Lear in Comparison With Other Authors

    1435 Words  | 3 Pages

    Human nature is a concept that has interested scholars throughout history. Many have debated over what human nature is – that is, the distinguishing characteristics that are unique to humans by nature – while others have mulled over the fact that the answer to the question “what is human nature?” may be unattainable or simply not worth pursuing. Shakespeare explores the issue of human nature in his tragedy King Lear. In his play, he attempts to portray that human nature is either entirely good or entirely evil. He seems to suggest, however, that it is not impossible for one to move from one end of the spectrum of human nature to the other, as multiple characters go through somewhat of a metamorphosis where their nature is changed. In this paper I analyze and present Shakespeare’s account of human nature in King Lear in comparison with other authors that we have read throughout our year in the Aquinas program.

While shakespeare, by no means, possessed the ability to look into the future or anything of that nature, he was by no doubt, truly a writer way ahead of his time.
