O knihe
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.
