Representations of Hell and the journey to and from it in literature and film tend to follow the katabatic scheme, i.e. they present narratives of a descent and return made by a living human being. In the present paper, I discuss another technique: the presentation of Hell on a horizontal plane. I focus on images and structures of evil space in two...

The paper focuses on the concept of time in Shakespeare’s Macbeth and The Tempest with special reference to time gaps and to what may qualify as the right time to perform the deed—whether magical or murderous. The two plays share some peculiar features concerning time: they are both unusually short, and what Frye writes about The Tempest could also...

MACBETH AND SEYTON One possible way to understand the two plays is to view them as studies in search of the infinite, more specifically of infinite knowledge and power, or power-knowledge.
