In "Some Character Types Met With in Psychoanalytic Work," Freud admitted that he was unable to determine "what broke" this character, who had seemed "forged from the toughest metal."
In "Some Character Types Met With in Psychoanalytic Work," Freud admitted that he was unable to determine "what broke" this character, who had seemed "forged from the toughest metal." An essay named for this character attacks A.C. Bradley's style of criticism, which treated characters as real people rather than literary devices. That essay was written by L.C. Knights, and its title mockingly asks "How many children had [this character]?" This character observes "Tis safer to be that which we destroy / Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy" before being told "We have (*) scorched the snake, not killed it." In this character's first scene, she exclaims "I feel now the future in the instant" after reading a letter, but fears that its author is "too full of the milk of human kindness / to catch the nearest way." In that scene, she asks "murdering ministers" to fill her breasts with gall and wishes to be "unsexed." For 10 points, name this Shakespeare character who cries "Out, damned spot!" during her sleepwalking scene.
