Ko (English, Wellesley College) reaffirms the centrality of conflict in Shakespeare's plays, particularly conflicts that arise as the characters deal with the condition of life that is perhaps the most recurring preoccupation of the plays: its finitude. He explores how the struggle with mortality leads to conflicts that characters experience as radically divided and opposed desires, selves, and even political visions.
