The aim of the paper is to show how Stanley Cavell's reading of Shakespeare's King Lear, A Winter's Tale, Othello, and of Emerson's «Experience », reinvents the concept of tragedy, creating a specifically American concept of the tragic-as associated with a radical form of skepticism about other minds. This version of the tragic is turned around and reiterated, paradoxically, in what Cavell defines as the Hollywood comedy of remarriage, which provides a new answer to the very problems raised in Shakespearean tragedy
