The essays in Playing Shakespeare's Villains trouble our
assumptions of what-and who-constitutes "villainy" in Shakespeare's
works, through probing and provocative analyses of the murky moral
logics at play in the Bard's oeuvre. Shakespeare spreads before us
a panoply of evil, villainy, and amorality-of characters doing bad
things for good reasons, bad things for bad reasons, and bad things
for no reason at all. How does Shakespeare handle culpability and
consequence? How much does he justify his villains' actions? How
much do we enjoy watching people get away with murder and mayhem?
What are we to make of the moral universe that Shakesperare
presents: a universe in which some villains are punished and others
seem to be rewarded; where mischief can quickly turn violent; and
where an entire world can be brought down by someone's willful
insistence on having one's way? Questions like these animate the
discussions in this lively volume, the second in the Playing
Shakespeare's Characters series.
