Excerpt from An Interpretation of "King Lear"

His broadest conception, his most appalling creation, has its possibilities all within the range of humanity, and never overstrains our consciousness of truth. This becomes evident to us upon reflecting, that while under the influence of any individual character we are possessed by their condition; their joy and sorrow become ours; their sin and degradation. When we are on the heights with Hermione, when, with the consciousness of sin and grief, we walk in sleepless self accusation with Lady Macbeth, then we know that these creations lie all within the scope of nature, and every nerve and heartbeat lends itself to animate these breathless forms.
