Excerpt from Character Problems in Shakespeare's Plays: A Guide to the Better Understanding of the Dramatist
I. Choice or plot. - Until quite recently the generally accepted point of view has been that Shakespeare con ceived and created his plays in the same manner as modern playwrights do theirs. Even Brandes seems to imagine that his choice of certain subjects was principally conditioned by personal experience or by the suggestions derived from stories he had read. It is true that we are by no means acquainted with the genesis of all Shakespeare's dramas, and there is good reason to think that it was not the same in every case; still, we may take it for granted that our modern demand that the inspiration of the artist's work must be looked for in his own innermost experience was almost unknown in the Elizabethan era.

Excerpt from Character Problems in Shakespeare's Plays: A Guide to the Better Understanding of the Dramatist
With the exception of Dante, no poet in the whole of European literature has called forth so vast a bulk of explanatory comment as Shakespeare. Innumerable are the diverse views that have been put forward of the characters, the action, the purpose of his plays. Irreconcilable, too, are the differences of opinion that have arisen as to the true interpretation of his characters. Many have sought in vain to wrest his secret from him - many a one, like Schiller, has contented himself, after ardent toil, with the conclusion that he is hidden behind his works as God is hidden behind His creation; not a few have fashioned for themselves a god after their own image. This subjective interpretation has triumphed; even those who regarded its conclusions with misgiving were incapable of finding any other point of view. In his masterly book on Shakespeare (1909) Sir Walter Raleigh says that even good critics often permit themselves the dangerous assumption that Shakespeare's meaning is not easily recognized, and must be ascertained by a subtle process of digging out all sorts of hidden significations. Yet, he says, each play makes a distinct and immediate impression by which it should be judged; "the impression is the play." Unfortunately, however, the essential point is overlooked here, that the impression itself varies according to the peculiar character of each reader.

The author explores the influence of contemporary conditions on Shakespeare's plays, examining factors such as plot selection, collaboration with other playwrights, and the role of audience expectations. The book sheds light on the limitations imposed by public opinion and the rise of individualism during this period, revealing how these forces shaped Shakespeare's artistic choices. Delving into specific plays, the author analyzes the techniques employed by Shakespeare to engage his audience, including direct self-explanation by characters and the reflection of characters in the minds of others. The book examines the interplay between character and expression, as well as the relationship between character and action, highlighting instances where Shakespeare's approach diverges from modern expectations. By situating Shakespeare within his historical context and exploring the theatrical conventions of his era, this book offers valuable insights into the Bard's works. It reveals a playwright deeply connected to his audience, adept at navigating the demands of popular theatre while simultaneously crafting timeless masterpieces.
