Sažetak
This chapter explores the relation of desire and representation in the Renaissance, and the ways that Shakespeare’s Othello and King Lear renegotiate this relation. Focused on a certain lack in representation that is frequently posited by Shakespeare, the chapter uses both Renaissance and post-structuralist ideas of mimesis to chart both Othello’s desire to hold firm meaning in imagistic language, and Shakespeare’s verbal appropriation of the metonymic visual techniques of quattrocento vanishing point perspective in the Dover Cliff episode of King Lear. Locating a recurring monstrousness that Shakespeare’s poetic positions as a lurking presence beyond the reaches of mimesis, the chapter argues that the discomfiting incommensurability of Shakespeare’s monsters anticipates modernity.
