Approaching Shakespeare's late style.
- Authors
Vickers, Brian
- Abstract
The article focuses on Shakespeare's late writing style. It distinguishes between the stylistic resources that he drew on vocabulary, rhetoric, imagery, prosody and his deployment of them to characterize his speakers and to make their interaction clear and effective. It also notes that Shakespeare associated ambiguous speech especially with predatory females. It also adds that Shakespeare's language, which endorsed other distortions and misogynistic tragedies, reveal his own anxiety about gender.
