$(E, x)$
$E$ = Emotion
$x$ = Dramatis Personae
Shakespeare: just these two variables.
Every play, every scene—variations on which emotion meets which persona. Othello is jealousy meeting the Moor. Lear is pride meeting the king. Hamlet is melancholy meeting the prince.
No resolution into something higher. No moral integration, no systematic philosophy. Just: here's this emotion in this person, watch what happens. Then another configuration. And another.
The plays don't even really end—they just stop. Everyone dies, or gets married, or walks offstage. Curtain. The emotion exhausts itself in that particular character, and that's it.
The audience witnesses—ukubona—that particular collision. Amor fati: love that it happened exactly this way, with this Macbeth, this Lady M, this particular squandering of power.
