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.
