The Structure of Love: Representational Patterns and Shakespeare's Love Tragedies

By Simon Rattle and Michael Hall

A structural approach to the works of Shakespeare. The author's analysis of individual plays is concerned mostly with how a group of exterior systems (author's typology of sexual relationships) are recognized and incorporated into interior systems. Chapters include: the structure of love: then; the structure of love: now; creating the heroines: the comedies; the paradise of flesh: Romeo and Juliet; magic in the structure: Othello; words, words, mere words: Troilus and Cressida; and the gap in nature: Antony and Cleopatra.
