Shakespeare’s Hamlet opens with the question “who goes there?”, spoken by a watchman who shines his light in the pitch dark of night, unaware whether the approaching stranger is friend or foe. King Lear, alone on the heath cries, “can anybody tell me who I am”. The lecture will consider Shakespeare’s answer to his question on man and his nature. A shared vision with Jung will emerge, notably in the problem of opposites that must be illuminated and confronted on the journey to becoming whole.
