  • Hst
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    When I was a boy in Missouri, I could have visited President Truman as Independence was only a few dozen miles from Utica. Yet the thought never occurred to me. Thus, the tribute is based on what might have been.I have few positive memories of Initiation, however. ...

  • The Complete First Part of Henry VI
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    One recurrent criticism of the First Part of HVI is its cavalier disregard for chronology and historical events. However, Lawrence V. Ryan argues that the “disjointing of time . . . enables him [Shakespeare] to achieve striking dramatic and didactic effects” (xxx). Thus, one is enjoined to remember Coleridge’s admonition to suspend disbelief. Ryan argues that 1HVI is “by no mea...

  • The Complete Timon of Athens
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Timon of Athens might be regarded as the ancestor of Moliere’s Les Misanthrope—in that Alceste seems to embody all the negativity of Timon. Timon also illustrates the error of equating friendship with finances. “He finds that his idealization of friendship has been an illusion” (Mowat, xiv). “He is, thus, a man ‘nobly but unwisely generous’” (Hinman, 17). “The play, itself, is ...

  • Approaching Alzheimer’s
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Alzheimer’s continues to be of concern to those of us who are aging. As the disease cannot be prevented, cured, or slowed, it remains one of the leading causes of death. Thus, how one deals with it becomes a measure of personality and character. Perhaps this is what Ernest Hemingway was getting at when he talked of performing with grace under pressure. ...

  • The Complete Troilus and Cressida
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Troilus and Cressida retells the epic story of the Iliad, but with an altered focus.The tale of these lovers (and Pandarus) was told earlier by both Homer and Geoffrey Chaucer. In Shakespeare, however, the epic proportions are reduced to the quotidian details of human passion, including quarrels and misunderstandings, which reduce the protagonists to a pitying level, including ...

  • The Complete Henry the Eighth
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Despite its title, Henry the Eighth deals with three other, more important stories: the fall of Cardinal Wolsey, the fall of Queen Katherine, and the raising of Anne Bullen (Boleyn). For Elizabethans, the culmination of the play was, of course, the birth of Elizabeth, heralding their queen and her successor, James. Full treatment of Henry VIII would have to be dealt with by his...

  • Behold the Sun
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    The Western has become an archetype for the founding of a great portion of the United States. The behavior of the men and women who pioneered the great, vast prairies of the land west of the Mississippi set standards which continue today. Living on the outskirts of formal settlements, they governed their lives and their children’s lives with a code that lives on today, irrespec...

  • The Complete Love’s Labors Lost
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Love’s Labors Lost is 'widely considered Shakespeare’s most intellectually challenging comedy' (Bate, back cover). From its extensive wordplay to the plot machinations, a reader (viewer) is continuously challenged. The recurrent bawdy is another factor that forces one to pay close attention. Thus, the play can be quite satisfying. However, it can become tiresome too, especially...

  • The Complete All’s Well That Ends Well
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    The plot of All’s Well That Ends Well is illustrated by what one character says (III.66), 'The web of our life is a tangled yarn.' Through all of the twists and machinations, justice triumphs, and loyalty is rewarded. The play is challenging, however, because of the somewhat inconsistent direction; it has been called a problem play. As Bevington states, 'The web of human life r...

  • The Complete As You Like It
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    As You Like It could be termed the archetypal Shakespearean romantic comedy: the lovers retreat to the Forest of Arden, where all their problems are resolved satisfactorily, and all ends in marriage (four marriages, in fact). However, the romance of the play is ameliorated somewhat by the pragmatism of Rosalind who says, 'Men have died from time to / time and worms have eaten t...

  • Covered with Darkness
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    I do not know how Covered with Darkness came about. The process of creativity is still a mystery to me, even as I try to teach it, and this is especially true for everything that I write. There is some indefinable, inexpressible something that operates in the brain that I cannot analyze, which I simply try to appreciate and use. When it works, I give thanks to the powers that b...

  • The Complete Richard II
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Richard the Second is essentially weak and vacillating. Self-indulgent and prodigal, he appears to be a natural candidate for overthrow by his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke. He is a man who enjoys the trappings of being king but fails to measure up to the responsibilities. Self-pitying and duplicitous, perhaps he deserves the reader’s pity-but he doesn’t elicit pity from his subjec...

  • The Complete Two Gentlemen of Verona
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    The Two Gentlemen of Verona doesn’t enjoy a high reputation among Shakespeareans. As an early comedy, it suffers from internal inconsistencies and a questionable resolution. However, having produced and directed a radio version of the play (for WSUI in Iowa City, Iowa), I have partial feelings for the work. Thus, I ask that the play be taken for what it is: somewhat flawed but ...

  • The Tragedy of Richard the Third
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    The Tragedy of Richard the Third presents the tale of a Machiavellian: Richard the Third, the archetypal villain. The Elizabethan audience would already have been biased against Richard, and modern audiences probably do not feel empathy for him either. From his wooing of Anne to the continued execution of his apparent enemies, there is little sympathy for this ?bunch-back?d toa...
