Bertram, the Third Earl of Southampton, and Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well
The resemblance between certain character traits and details of the life of Henry Wriothesley, the Third Earl of Southampton, and aspects of Shakespeare's portrayal of Bertram in All's Well That Ends Well is more intriguing than commentators noting this resemblance have shown. By darkening Bertram's traits in comparison to those of his counterpart, Beltramo, in the play's source in a tale in Boccaccio's Decameron, Shakespeare darkened the similar…

"The Politics of Vision in Shakespeare's "1 Henry VI
Anyone today reading the phrase of in the title of an essay on a Shakespeare play generally prepares himor herself to adopt a version of a Foucauldian frame of reference for interpretation. For Michel Foucault, a shift in the focus and nature of the gaze between ruler and ruled forever changed the dynamics of political power in seventeenthand eighteenth-century Europe. Beginning with the Renaissance, the ever-watchful, usually invisible eyes of s…

The "Fittings" of Cymbeline
Conspicuous repetition of forms of a word in a Shakespeare play often signals the presence of a special motif; by their different contexts of usage, they allow an analyst to map values otherwise not easily discernible. In short, the recurring forms frequently represent passable roads to the heart of a play's interests. Recurring words such as grace, play, and recreation in The Winter's Tale and nothing and noting inmMuch Ado served this function …

"Conquering Words in "A King and No King
In an important article, Philip Finkelpearl has suggested that, in A King and No King (1611), Arbaces's inflated monologues may be calculated satire on Beaumont and Fletcher's part; for this critic, the monarch's puffed-up speech represents authorial criticism of a king who tries to make deeds of words.' This essay extends Finkelpearl's argument by locating a moral focus in the play in ultimately restorative words, a moral focus that qualifies th…

"Ordering Disorder in "Richard III
The title of this essay refers to both a dramatic process and a metaphysical phenomenon. On the one hand, it describes the efforts of not only characters but also the theater audience to perceive a reassuring pattern of harmony in the chaotic aftermath of the Wars of the Roses-the historical setting of Richard III. On the other, the title suggests that disorder paradoxically brings forth a new order in the play, that somehow from disorder spring …
"Individuation in "A Midsummer Night's Dream
For many playgoers, Demetrius's groggy judgment upon the Athenian lovers' nightmare in the dark wood-These things seem small and undistinguishable, /Like far-off mountains turned into cloudshas captured the metamorphic quality of the most popular of Shakespeare's early comedies.1 In A Midsummer Night's Dream, the effect of repeated transformations, whether of a western into a magical pansy, or of a weaver into an ass, is a certain haziness not on…
