"The Man Shakespeare and His Tragic Life Story" by Frank Harris is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and character of William Shakespeare, asserting that the playwright's complex personality and tragic experiences are intertwined with his literary creations. Harris aims to present a nuanced portrayal of Shakespeare, arguing that the playwright painted himself multiple times through his characters across different stages of his life. The opening of the text reveals Harris's intention to provide an introspective analysis of Shakespeare's works and how they reflect his own life, passions, and struggles. Harris mentions the various interpretations and critiques Shakespeare has faced throughout the centuries, noting that many have failed to grasp the true essence of the man behind the plays. He highlights his plan to explore the Shakespearean characters of Hamlet, Macbeth, and others, suggesting that these figures represent different aspects of Shakespeare's own experiences. Ultimately, he seeks to elucidate Shakespeare's heroic and tragic dimensions, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of his life and work in understanding the human condition.
