~   ~   ~   Sentence 570   ~   ~   ~

CHAPTER IV SHAKESPEARE'S MEN OF ACTION: THE BASTARD, ARTHUR, AND KING RICHARD II.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 573   ~   ~   ~

In the mirror which Shakespeare held up to human nature, we not only see Romeo, and Jaques, Hamlet, Macbeth and Posthumus; but also the leonine, frank face of the Bastard, the fiery, lean, impatient mask of Hotspur, and the cynical, bold eyes of Richard III.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 587   ~   ~   ~

~   ~   ~   Sentence 644   ~   ~   ~

Even the Bastard calls it "A damned and bloody work, The graceless action of a heavy hand," and a little later the thought of the crime brings even this tough adventurer to weakness: "I am amazed, methinks, and lose my way Among the thorns and dangers of this world."

or Shakespeare himself better than it suits the hardy Bastard.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,149   ~   ~   ~

As in "King John" we have the sharply contrasted figures of the Bastard and Arthur, so in this "Third Part" there are two contrasted characters, Richard Duke of Gloster and King Henry VI., the one a wild beast whose life is action, and who knows neither fear, love, pity, nor touch of any scruple; the other, a saint-like King whose worst fault is gentle weakness.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,203   ~   ~   ~

To sum up, then, for this is not the place to consider Shakespeare's share in "Henry VIII.," I find that in the English historical plays the manly characters, Hotspur, Harry V., the great Bastard, and Richard III., are all taken from tradition or from old plays, and Shakespeare did nothing more than copy the traits which were given to him; on the other hand, the weak, irresolute, gentle, melancholy characters are his own, and he shows extraordinary resource in revealing the secret workings of their souls.
