Anyone interested in Shakespeare and time should read David Scott
Kastan's book, *Shakespeare and the Shapes of Time*.

Comment: Re: SHK 16.1537 Notion of Time
I vote for _Romeo and Juliet, which, I think, compresses time--all
time--into the period of Romeo and Juliet's love, and the period of love
in to "two hours' traffick," and the "two hours' traffick" into the
opening sonnet. Doomsday, the end of time, begins, as Romeo says, with
the "prince's doom." Similarly, you might consider the closing sonnet
of Henry V, with that wonderful phrase "small time," which has an
evocatively ambiguous antecedent.

>From Joe Egert>To Edna Z. Boris in her hunt for the best Shakespeare
>play on the notion of time, why not check out MACBETH?
Macbeth & time. There's two instances of 'clock' in Macbeth:
II.1. It's now past midnight as Banquo & his son Fleance ("I have not
heard the clock.") discuss the dark night.
Macbeth killed Duncan in 1040. The earliest clocks: 14th century! The
first of two clock anachronisms. Thank you Jim Canavan, St. Rita H.S.,
Chicago, Class of 1951. Jim was prompted to find this "flaw" in Macbeth
at the urging of Father Albert Durant, OSA, teacher of senior English,
who had his classes graph Macbeth. See www.graphopus.com
The other: II.4 A man, more than seventy, can't recall a worse night.
Ross tell him, "by the clock, 'tis day,"
Stay healthy,
Tom
