Describing the sense of confession in Hamlet
pp. 165-183
Abstract
When I religiously confess myself to myself, I find that the best virtue I have has in it some tincture of vice; and I am afraid that Plato, ... if he had listened and laid his ear close to himself, and he did so no doubt, would have heard some jarring sound of human mix- ture, but faint and only perceptible to himself. Man is wholly and throughout but patch and motley. Michel de Montaigne1
