Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Lecture on Shakespeare´s Enigmatical Work: Embracing a New Theory - "You would pluck out the heart of my mystery; you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass." - Hamlet, Act III, Scene II. - "Scarce any character in history has provoked so great a diversity of opinion as Hamlet. *** One man thinks he is great but wicked; another, that he is good but weak; a third, that he is a coward and dare not act; a fourth, that he has too much intellect for his will, and so reflects away the time of action. Doubtless there are facts in the representation which considered by themselves, would sustain any one of these views; but none of them seems reconcilable with all the facts taken together. Yet, notwithstanding this diversity of facts and conclusions, all agree in thinking and feeling and speaking about Hamlet as an actual person. It is easy, indeed, to invest with plausibility almost any theory in regard to him; but it is extremely hard to make any theory comprehend the whole subject: and, though all are impressed with the truth of the character, no one is satisfied with another´s explanation of it. The question is why, with this unanimity as to his being a man, do men differ so much as to what sort of a man he is? *** Whether his insanity be real or feigned, or whether it be a species of intermittent insanity, or whether it be sometimes real, sometimes feigned, are questions which, like many that arise on similar points in actual life, can never be fully and finally settled one way or the other." - Hudson. - "Hamlet´s is a grave moral condition, a great malady of soul, that frequently attacks the most gifted of our species, and afflicts them with a disturbance of mind which sometimes borders very closely upon madness. This play contains the most remarkable examples of Shakespeare´s most sublime beauties, as well as of his most glaring defects." - M. Guizot. - "The amazing drama of ´Hamlet´ is studed with a glittering firmament of beauties. I conclude that its author did not intend to portray real madness in the conduct of his hero. A more accomplished, a more courteous gentleman than Hamlet, is not to be found in all Shakespeare, (and I was going to say) or anywhere else." - Charles Cowden Clarke. - "Hamlet was one who speculated without reasoning." - Richard Grant White.
