| I have just begun to build this page on Shakespeare's tragedies. I start with the tragedies because they are my favorite of all Shakespeare's plays. I can read Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, King Lear, Julius Ceasar and Romeo and Juliet at any time and am never bored with them. I was once taught that this characteristic is central to all great literature. The surprise ending that fools us all is not the mark of a great book. What makes it great is that one enjoys the journey through the work. That each reading brings new insight regardless of how a novel, play or short story ends. This is how I feel about Shakespeare's tragedies, or all of his work for that matter. Even though I know about Hamlet's, Othello's, Desdemona's, or Lear's, deaths, the journey through each of the play's five acts is wonderful with every reading. Thank you for your patience. Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions for what to include in this page. |
