Shakespeare’s Hamlet opens with the question “who goes there?”, spoken by a watchman who shines his torch in the pitch dark of night, unaware of whether the approaching stranger is a friend or foe. King Lear, alone on the heath verging on madness cries, “can anybody tell me who I am?” The lecture will consider Shakespeare’s answer to the question of human nature. A shared vision with Jung will emerge, notably in the tension of opposites that are constellated and confronted in the individuation process.
