A modern critic asks if it... «Shakespeare: A Life»
innashpitzberg16 сентября 2013A modern critic asks if it is necessary, after all, that we 'run away from the identification of Prospero with Shakespeare?' Probably not. Rather as the dramatist does, the magician assembles and disciplines an almost unmanageable world, heads his people along certain paths, and gives them situations to which they must react. The magician's view of the transience of all things, for example, matches his creator's outlook as often expressed, as when Prospero thinks of the melting of 'the great globe itself' and of our 'insubstantial pageant' which will leave, at last,
not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
