Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Character of Victor Hugo's Ruy Blas The character of Ruy Blas is one difficult of interpretation.' To many critics the brilliant, ambitious lackey-minister seems as puzzling as the young, dreamy Danish prince was to the court at Elsinore. Doumie says he is entirely too silly. Brunetiere considers his conduct at times as improbable and inexplicable. Marzials goes so far as to express disbelief in him altogether. A careful analysis of the character of Ruy Blas, the details of which are given in the subsequent paragraphs of this paper, re veals the fact that he is withal a hero par excellence of the roman tic ideals in literature. Before proceeding to this analysis, it is only fair to the auth or to allow him to state his own purpose in creating such a char acter. In his preface to Ruy Blas, Hugo declares that the hero represents the struggling and aspiring people who have the future but not the present. The people for whom Ruy Blas, stands are orphans, poor, intelligent, and strong; placed very low, and aspiring very high; having upon their backs the marks of servitude and in their hearts the premeditations of genius. Ruy Blas is, therefore, to be considered as the symbol of a rising people struggling towards the light, and the type of an ambi tious, longing, dreamy parvenu. Hugo's method of portraying a dramatic character is to select a central idea, a logical formula, or a social antithesis, and then make his character conform to this. The wicked Lucrezia Bor gia has a true mother's heart. Into the deformed, scheming Triboulet he puts the affection of a father. The thoughts and actions of the bandit Hernani are worthy of a king.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the measure of Shakespeare's poetic greatness, an early commentator remarked, that he thoroughly blended the ideal with the practical or realistic. “If this be so,” Walt Whitman wrote, "I should say that what Shakespeare did in poetic expression, Abraham Lincoln essentially did in his personal and official life." Whitman was only one of many to note the affinity between these two iconic figures. Novelists, filmmakers, and playwrights have frequently shown Lincoln quoting Shakespeare. In Lincoln and Shakespeare, Michael Anderegg for the first time examines in detail Lincoln’s fascination with and knowledge of Shakespeare’s plays. Separated by centuries and extraordinary circumstances, the two men clearly shared a belief in the power of language and both at times held a fatalistic view of human nature. While citations from Shakespeare are few in his writings and speeches, Lincoln read deeply and quoted often from the Bard's work in company, a habit well documented in diaries, letters, and newspapers. Anderegg discusses Lincoln’s particular interest in Macbeth and Hamlet and in Shakespeare’s historical plays, where we see themes that resonated deeply with the president—the dangers of inordinate ambition, the horrors of civil war, and the corruptions of illegitimate rule. Anderegg winnows confirmed evidence from myth to explore how Lincoln came to know Shakespeare, which editions he read, and which plays he would have seen before he became president. Once in the White House, Lincoln had the opportunity of seeing the best Shakespearean actors in America. Anderegg details Lincoln's unexpected relationship with James H. Hackett, one of the most popular comic actors in America at the time: his letter to Hackett reveals his considerable enthusiasm for Shakespeare. Lincoln managed, in the midst of overwhelming matters of state, to see the actor's Falstaff on several occasions and to engage with him in discussions of how Shakespeare’s plays should be performed, a topic on which he had decided views. Hackett's productions were only a few of those Lincoln enjoyed as president, and Anderegg documents his larger theater-going experience, recreating the Shakespearean performances of Edwin Booth, Charlotte Cushman, Edwin Forrest, and others, as Lincoln saw them.
