Synopsis
Excerpt from The Unitarian Review and Religious Magazine, 1875, Vol. 3
I have said that the tragic collision is a collision of wills. If we use the word will to mean simply spiritual' force, the phrase is true. But as we look more deeply, we see that, though the will is in the foreground, and thus might well appear to be the chief actor, it is in reality the instrument of a power behind itself. Did Othello will to doubt the only being that he loved, and then to slay her? Did Macbeth will to murder the king? And on the other hand, did not Hamlet will, with all the power that was in him, to avenge his father? The collision in the tragedy, then, is less between wills than between the great forces which act through the wills. The man seems to be self-directed and controlled, but really he is the play of the great powers that are behind him and working through him. He is the bubble on the stream. You look at it and cry, How wildly it hurries on, how gaily it dances, how madly it whirls,-nay, it is a bubble, that is all. It is the black stream below that drives it and whirls it along its way.
