Description
Excerpt from The Fools of Shakespeare an Interpretation of Their Wit, Wisdom and Personalities
I speak from the view-point of the actor, for whom, and for whom alone the plays were written.
I have not entered the literary dissecting room, nor invaded the realm of psychology. The line of demarcation between humor and imbecility, folly and insanity, I leave to the professional alienist.
I have taken the characters as they appear in the plays and as I conceive the author intended them, with due reference to their relation to thu other characters.
