PSYCHOLOGY IN LITERATURE

Shakespeare

Hearing

from Measure for Measure . Act I. Scene 2: 126-7.

The words of heaven; on whom it will, it will
On whom it will not, so; yet still 'tis just.

Self doubt

Act I. Scene 4:75-6

Our doubts are traitors
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt.



Self accusing conscience

Timon of Athens, Act V. ln 42...

Must thou needs stand for a villain in thine own work?

do we sin against our own estate?
when we may profit meet


and its projection:

wilt thou whip thine own faults in other men?
