The Winter’s Tale – modern perspective. |Analysis |Notes |Shakespeare

The Schlegels are half-German (their father emigrated from Germany). But the Wilcoxes are thoroughly English. The Schlegels are more independent and cosmopolitan in outlook, while the Wilcoxes are more narrow-minded and conservative. The Schelgels attend concerts and informal dinner-parties, but the Wilcoxes show little interest in casual conservation and culture. Superficially, Margaret and Helen Schlegel…
