Dr. Krims, a psychoanalyst for more than three decades, takes
readers into the sonnets and characters of Shakespeare and unveils
the Bard's talent for illustrating psychoanalytical issues. These
"hidden" aspects of the characters are one reason they feel real
and, thus, have such a powerful effect, explains Krims. In
exploring Shakespeare's characters, readers may also learn much
about their own inner selves. In fact, Krims explains in one
chapter how reading Shakespeare and other works helped him resolve
his own inner conflicts. Topics of focus include Prince Hal's
aggression, Hotspur's fear of femininity, Hamlet's frailty, Romeo's
childhood trauma and King Lear's inability to grieve. In one essay,
Krims offers a mock psychoanalysis of Beatrice from Much Ado about
Nothing. All of the essays look at the unconscious motivations of
Shakespeare's characters, and, in doing so, both challenge and
extend common understandings of his texts.
