Example text
Edmund all but rehearses Edgar in the bloody farce they are to act before Edgar flees. And Cleopatra, like any modern director, perhaps like Shakespeare with Richard Burbage, teases, cajoles, insults, and comforts Antony, until he warms and swells and rises to the roles her mind cuts out for him. "Still he mends," she says to Charmian in his hearing: But this is not the best. Look, prithee, Charmian, How this Herculean Roman does become The carriage of his chafe. 83) At a few places in the plays, our attention is drawn explicitly to the most vexing problem of the Elizabethan acting company's art: how to mime reality in its grander forms without riveting attention on the inadequacy of the means.

Hatreds, betrayals, and murders are implicit in that play too, but they remain implicit, because he who might the vantage best have took did find out the remedy. In the end, Prospero eschews vengeance, and at a crucial moment unfolds before the play's lovers a betrothal masque, in which a company of nymphs and reapers dance.
