Drawing upon a vast literature in psychoanalytic journals either
upon Shakespeare's characters themselves or alluding to those
characters in the course of other topics, this book discusses eight
of Shakespeare's plays and the relationships between the
maincharacters within them. Psychoanalytic and literary approaches
sometimes diverge, but they can also concur in seeing characters
either as true examples of different psychological states and types
of relating or as symbolic of aspects of the personality. The
chapters contain many references to psychoanalytic interpretations
from Freud onwards.The importance of this book lies in its drawing
together from a large number of disparate sources, many of which
will be inaccessible to those who do not have access to the
journals or psychoanalytic databases. It is relevant for counselors
and therapists, as well as for those interested in literature,
particularly in Shakespearean studies. It is written for the
thinking lay reader, and does not blind the ordinary reader with
psychoanalytic terminology and concepts. Readers who are therapists
may gain some insights into aspects of some of their clients;
everyone should be encouraged through these ideas and theories to
muse upon aspects of his or her own personality, thoughts,
fantasies and behaviors.
