The Postmodern Shakespeare
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page analysis of the validity of the opinions of philosopher Stanley Cavell regarding Shakespeare's five greatest tragedies -- Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra. The paper concludes that Cavell's insights, contained in his book Discovering Knowledge in Six Plays of Shakespeare, can be appropriately applied to Shakespeare, because Shakespeare's mindset was very similar to that experienced by many people in the late twentieth century -- as well as aberrant for the early seventeenth.
