Questions for Shakespeare


I've been experiencing blog block for the last couple weeks so I've decided to take Rilke's advice and "live the questions" instead. Here are a few questions I have for Shakespeare from studying him thus far:
  • If life is a stage, who or what are we acting for?
  • Are the lowest characters in Shakespeare’s plays closest to the highest characters because the wisdom of this world is futile in the eyes of the divine?
  • Does Shakespeare suggest that we are closest to the “high” when we are in the realm of dreams?
  • If sunlight is the light of reality and moonlight the light of imagination, what then is darkness or the absence of light?
