Episode description
Somewhat fumbling and disappointingly inarticulate account of time and the specious present in Shakespeare, and its most intense presentation in Macbeth. The difference between the character (with his history and prospects) and the subject, existing in the present only which is all that exists, and experiencing his history and prospects as outside of himself. Tragedy, time, and pure subjectivity.
