The Gaze

[Literature | Link | Print]

David Bevington points out in his performance history of Shakespeare that in both Measure for Measure and The Tempest, the villainous characters are those that attempt to elude the all-seeing surveillance of the Duke and Prospero. Villains are particularly villainous when they think they can do evil without detection.
