ABSTRACT
One of the central views of my study of Shakespeare is that his words, non-dramatic and dramatic, poetry and prose, represent something astonishing as many, like Goethe, saw before. Shakespeare represents distinct thought (dianoia), action and character, and creates representations of humans that appeal to reader, theatre and film audience, philosopher, poet, actor and others. Shakespeare interprets and we interpret him. He is apparently a poet of nature who has insights into nature and human nature. He is local and global, particular and universal, what I have called the particular universal or universal particular. He is of his time and place and has travelled across time and space.
