Chamber Shakespeare Cycle - Hamlet Macbeth Othello Lear

CHAMBER SHAKESPEARE CYCLE
I Hamlet
II Macbeth
III Othello
IV Lear

HAMLET shows the tragic mind at its very conception, naive and inherently innocent, struggling to comprehend and fulfill the tragic mission laid upon him by the ghost of his father.

MACBETH becomes everything that Hamlet struggled to fight against.
He is the corruption of himself, defiling everything that approaches him,
everything that sees him, everything that he touches.

OTHELLO has emerged from “slavery” to find “redemption” through Desdemona. But after the ‘true friend’ of Horatio and Banquo comes the ‘false friend’ of Iago to plunge Othello into Chaos.

LEAR shows the protagonist as an old man, who has survived the trials of his three previous incarnations and possesses their knowledge. He is now ready to withdraw from the stage and desires only peace. But he is forced once more to fulfill the final tragic apotheosis.
