博客來Shakespeare’s plays are poetical masterpieces that not only mesmerize us with their lyrical beauty but also convey sage messages critically important to humanity. This means that Shakespeare is a greater literary genius than previously thought, and his plays more wonderful and profound than previously imagined.
The Mystical Art of Shakespeare Volume II explains how Shakespeare meticulously crafted every scene of The Taming of the Shrew and Romeo & Juliet to each convey its central spiritual message, using three unique Shakespearean techniques: cohesive unity, thematic resonance, and focused allegorical scenes.
This book is written as a running commentary of the two plays so readers can follow the narrative of The Taming of the Shrew and Romeo & Juliet like reading a novel. The increased understanding from the commentary intensifies the drama and reflects how Shakespeare conveys his spiritual messages through our emotional involvement. It is akin to learning by direct experience-the initiatic quality that makes Shakespeare’s plays an invaluable gift to humanity.
