Brutus. How I have thought of this, and of these times, I shall recount hereafter.
Hamlet. The Play 's the thing.
Brutus. Tell us the manner of it, gentle Casca. Casca. I can as well be hanged as tell the manner of it.
Posthumus. ' Shall's have a Play of this.
HPHE fact that the design of this play, whatever it may be, is *- one deep enough to go down to that place in the social sys- tem which Tom o' Bedlam was then peacefully occupying, think- ing of anything else in the world but a social rev...olution on his behalf to bring him up for observation; and that it is high enough to go up to that apex of the social structure on which the crown was then fastened, to fetch down the impersonated state itself, for an examination not less curious and critical; the fact, too, that it was subtle enough to penetrate the retire- ment of the domestic life, and bring out its innermost passages for scientific criticism ; the fact that the relation of the Parent to the Child, and that of the Child to the Parent, the relation of Husband and Wife, and Sister and Brother, and Master and Servant, of Peasant and Lord, nay, the transient relation of Guest and Host, have each their place and part here, and the question of their duty marked not less clearly, than that pro- minent relation of the King and his Subjects; the fact that these relations come in from the first, along with the political, and demand a hearing, and divide throughout the stage with them ; the fact of the mere range of this social criticism, as it appears on the surface of the play, in these so prominent points, is enough to show already, that it is a Radical of no ordinary kind, who is at work behind this drop-scene.
