Master's thesis, Harvard University Division of Continuing Education.28413885https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37367679Hamnet Shakespeare, the son of William Shakespeare, died at eleven years of age. Many critics have posited this death to have influenced many of Shakespeare's subsequent plays, including Hamlet and Twelfth Night. I explore and hypothesize the manner in which these and more plays may reflect the effect of Hamnet’s death on the author, and in turn the manner in which Hamnet’s death and Shakespeare’s evolving response to it is reflected, progressively, in his plays, culminating in The Tempest.application/pdfenHamnetThe TempestEnglish literatureThesis or Dissertation2021-05-240000-0001-7993-2844
