The essay provides a standpoint I’d never considered: that Theseus is an “evolved” Hamlet in regards to character study. Furthermore, Libby relates TTNK to a variety of Shakespeare plays, both earlier in the canon and later (including The Tempest and Pericles, which I would like to read) as well as relating Theseus’ positions to those of Nietzsche. It’s an interesting read, and perhaps with greater thought will prove to be more useful than it looks at this moment.
