The discussion of Hamlet in chapter XIII is, in the words of Stephen
Greenblatt "...what is probably the most influential of all readings of
Hamlet..." (Hamlet in Purgatory, p. 229).
| "And when the ghost has vanished, who is it who stands
before us? A young hero panting for vengeance? A
prince by birth, rejoicing to be called to punish the usurper of
his crown? No!...A lovely, pure, noble, and most moral
nature without the strength of nerve which forms a hero, sinks
beneath a burden which it cannot bear and must not cast away."
From Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, p. 240. |
