Utilizing a number of poststructuralist devices, H. W. Fawkner employs an ontodramatic line of approach in order to suggest that a single hidden pattern of hyperontological suggestion organizes Shakespeare's entire imaginative outlook in Antony and Cleopatra.
This critical study explicates the complex and elusive fiction of John Fowles in terms of the tensions between time and timelessness. The author introduces insights gained from recent scientific and interdisciplinary studies of the apprehension of temporality and constructs a model for the hierarchy of levels of time in fiction.
Macbeth is discussed in relation to Derrida's notion of the metaphysics of presence. Fawkner argues that the quest for metaphysical certitude in Macbeth is related to the hero's transformation from a heroic to a post-heroic status.
