In Shakespeare's tragedies, identity is never private. It is shaped in relation, sustained through recognition and performed before others. This study explores what happens when that identity can no longer change.

Drawing on the archetypal dynamics of persona and shadow, it reveals the tragic figure as one who has come to depend on a form of self that can no longer expand. What once offered coherence begins to restrict it. What is refused gathers beneath the surface until it can no longer remain contained.
