Derek Cohen predicates his argument on the supposition that the individual, as much as the encompassing state, is subject to the shaping forces and machinery of the ideological surround.Shakespeare's plays, Cohen argues, consistently portray the clash between the passionate search for individuality and the quest for social harmony as irresolvable. The playwright's uncanny ability to carry the reader to the edge of imaginary experience ? far from the literal world that is made visible by the text ? offers an entry into the subtextual and ironic underside of the dramas. It is in this dark and strange world of slavery, mutilation, sexual jealousy, and suborned murder that the implicit political biases of the plays are most evident and it is here, too, that a modern political analysis reveals why Shakespeare portrayed the quest for individuation and self-expression as necessarily ending in tragedy. 606 $aNational characteristics, English, in literature 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain 606 $aNationalism and literature$zEngland 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland 606 $aLiterature and history$zEngland 606 $aIndividuality in literature 606 $aAuthority in literature 606 $aCulture in literature 606 $aTragedy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational characteristics, English, in literature. 615 0$aPolitics and literature 615 0$aNationalism and literature 615 0$aLiterature and society 615 0$aLiterature and history 615 0$aIndividuality in literature. 615 0$aAuthority in literature. 615 0$aCulture in literature. 615 0$aTragedy. 676 $a822.33 700 $aCohen$b Derek$0460787 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456272403321 996 $aSearching Shakespeare$92450917 997 $aUNINA
