"Characters of Shakespeare's Plays" by William Hazlitt is a critical analysis written in the early 19th century. This work explores the nuances of various characters from Shakespeare's plays, providing an in-depth examination of their traits, motivations, and relationships. Hazlitt’s admiration for Shakespeare is palpable, as he seeks to illustrate the playwright’s genius in character creation and dramatic artistry. The opening of the book sets the stage for Hazlitt's profound examination of Shakespeare's characters. It highlights Hazlitt's own background, his encounters with influential literary figures like Coleridge, and the intellectual environment of his time. Hazlitt's love for Shakespeare's characters emerges as he prepares to delve into a discussion on plays such as "Cymbeline," "Macbeth," and "Julius Caesar," among others, expressing his intention to showcase how each character reflects deeper philosophical themes and human emotions. This introduction serves not only as a backdrop to the author's analysis but also as a testament to Hazlitt's belief that understanding these characters is vital for grasping the broader human experience portrayed in Shakespeare's works.
