...crying need of our time, he said, is scientific study of ethics. Morality is today challenged on every hand. Nothing stands free from the assault of criticism.

We might have a science of morality which would trace the facts of our moral life, and yet not touch on morality, or Heaven, or God. It is the consideration of this moral life, which will advance ethics. More than discovering the character of good and evil, we must discover our own life character, and the secrets...

...other Shakesperian critics, have divided the range of the poet's composition into four periods. I should prefer to divide it into five, as follows: 1586-97 - the period which we will designate as marking the Romeo-Proteus-Biron mood. It is Shakespeare's lightest period, when the moral tendency is not really settled. The second period is from 1597-1603, marking the Jacques-Hamlet mood.
