Summary
| Description | (Producer) William Shakespeare is widely praised for creating the most recognizable characters in all of literature, yet he understood human behavior in the terms available to his age--the classical theory of the four humors of blood, phlegm, choler, and melancholy, The humors accounted for the health and actions of the male and female, young and old, rich man and poor man. It was the darker emotions of anger and melancholy that preoccupied Shakespeare, especially as they appeared in the madness of Ophelia and the shrewish resistence of Katherine Minola to her female destiny of wifely submission.
