their fortunes." (See the Variorum edition of "Richard III," p. 549.) Hazlitt makes similar discriminations between the characters of Iago and Richard III, between Henry VI and Richard II, and between Ariel and Puck. _the milk of human kindness_. i, 5, 18. _himself alone_. Cf. 3 "Henry VI," v, 6, 83: "I am myself alone." P. 69. _For Banquo's issue_. iii, 1, 65. _Duncan is in his grave_. iii, 2, 22. _direness is rendered familiar_. v, 5, 14. _troubled with thick coming fancies_. v, 3, 38. P. 70. _subject to all_. "Measure for Measure," iii, 1, 9. _My way of life_. v, 3, 22. P. 71. _Lillo_, George (1693-1739), author of several "bourgeois" tragedies of which the best known is "George Barnwell" (1731). _Specimens of Early English Dramatic Poets_ by Charles Lamb, 1808. (Works, ed. Lucas, IV, 144.) IAGO P. 73. _What a full fortune_ and _Here is her father's house_. i, 1, 66-74 P. 74. _I cannot believe_. i, 1, 254. _And yet how nature_. iii, 3, 227. _milk of human kindness_.

P. 77. _too much i' th' sun_. i, 2, 67. _the pangs_. iii, 1, 72. P. 78. _There is no attempt to force an interest._ Professor Saintsbury ("History of Criticism," III, 258) calls this utterance an apex of Shakespearian criticism. Hazlitt makes a similar comment in the character of "Troilus and Cressida": "He has no prejudice for or against his characters: he saw both sides of a question; at once an actor and a spectator in the scene." Dr. Johnson had observed this attitude in Shakespeare, but he had seen in it a violation of the demands of poetic justice: "he carries his persons indifferently through right and wrong, and at the close dismisses them without further care, and leaves their examples to operate by chance. This fault the barbarity of his age cannot extenuate; for it is always a writer's duty to make the world better, and justice is a virtue independent on time or place." (Nichol Smith's "Eighteenth Century Essays on Shakespeare," p. 123.) _outward pageant_. Cf. i, 2, 86: "the trappings and the suits of woe." _we have that within_. i, 2, 85.
