Summary: "Shakespeare's Treatment of Love & Marriage, and Other Essays" by C. H. Herford is a collection of literary essays written in the early 20th century. The book examines Shakespeare's portrayal of love and marriage as a central theme in his works, delving into how his characters reflect ideals of romantic relationships. The text seeks to explore the complexities and nuances of love in Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies while also discussing the influence of various factors on poetic creation. The opening portion introduces the reader to the overarching themes of love and marriage in Shakespeare's plays. Herford emphasizes that Shakespeare displays a preference for "normal" love relationships characterized by a balance of passion, intellect, and morality. He argues that Shakespeare's ideal form of love is one that naturally leads to marriage, contrasting this view with other types of love that can have tragic or comic implications. The essay sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Shakespeare’s characters and their relationships, highlighting the joyful and healthy aspects of love, while hinting at the dramas that arise from misunderstandings and external conflicts that challenge these ideals.
