Abstract/Description

The characterizations in The Tempest resemble the archetypes of the collective unconscious and appear to gather their momentum from Shakespeare's understanding of the individuation process. In depicting the unfolding dynamics of psychic change, the playwright anticipates Jung's theory of individuation by showing the compensatory influence these numinous figures have on the characters' conscious orientations as they move from separation to subsequent union.

Show moreThe characterizations in The Tempest resemble the archetypes of the collective unconscious and appear to gather their momentum from Shakespeare's understanding of the individuation process. In depicting the unfolding dynamics of psychic change, the playwright anticipates Jung's theory of individuation by showing the compensatory influence these numinous figures have on the characters' conscious orientations as they move from separation to subsequent union. The characters' agitated and irrational responses to the archetypal manifestations are a reflection of the psychic division characteristic of the individuating mind. Harmony and reason are achieved as the characters heal their division by integrating the conscious contents of their projections. This enlarging of the personality and broadening of collective relationships transform The Tempest into a variation on the quest for individuation offering a psychic stage for the Jungian notions of process and renewal.

Abstract/Description

In Richard II, Shakespeare left lessons for us on the effects of speech acts by leaders on the public stage. The "I" in Richard's speeches is always new: "Thus play I in one person many people" (5.5.31). Recent theories of pardons and promises made in the public sphere call attention to the layers of voices, heretofore hidden, in the first-person utterances of Richard as he attempts to interrupt the rush of history toward vengeance. Employing speech-act theory, we discover today that...
Show moreIn Richard II, Shakespeare left lessons for us on the effects of speech acts by leaders on the public stage. The "I" in Richard's speeches is always new: "Thus play I in one person many people" (5.5.31). Recent theories of pardons and promises made in the public sphere call attention to the layers of voices, heretofore hidden, in the first-person utterances of Richard as he attempts to interrupt the rush of history toward vengeance. Employing speech-act theory, we discover today that Shakespeare lets each utterance create a new voice and history for England. Shakespeare gives Richard time to begin to speak and study the world that each "I" utterance produces. The play, known for its rich language, reveals even more voices behind the public face of a king about to die: a confessor, a subject, a prisoner, a Christian, a husband, and a soldier. In every syllable spoken as first-person speaker, Richard moves the audience in images of mirrors and music through a drama of attempts to study a life.
