Tragedy and philosophy in Twelfth Night, a “comedy” by Shakespeare
Resumo
From screwball comedy - with a wink at King Gorboruc- Shakespeare
ushers us to pre-Socratic thought. Focusing on the undercurrent of darkness, melancholy
and portrait of madness of Twelfth Night, we find connections between this
play, Emperor Augustus and Parmenides plus a painful common factor with Hamlet.
De la comedia de enredos -con un guiño al Rey Gorboduc- Shakespeare
nos conduce al pensamiento presocrático. Proponemos que la oscuridad, melancolía y
locura en Noche de Reyes vinculan esta obra con el Emperador Augusto y Parménides
y nos plantea un doloroso factor común con Hamlet.
