Mementos of these encounters include a bracelet of braided hair (his and a victim's) and a body part (not identified) preserved in a bottle of formaldehyde. Not a very close watch, it seems, because their subject remains an elusive sociopath, a sadist who preys on young men, luring them with clever tricks into his van and, later in his basement, torturing them and attacking them sexually as they are dying, then stashing their bodies in remote graves. ![]() ![]() Harold Bloom presents a wise, intimate, and compelling portrait of Falstaff-one of Shakespeare’s most complex comedic characters.įalstaff is both a comic and tragic protagonist in Shakespeare’s three Henry plays: Henry IV, Parts One and Two, and Henry V. ![]() The reader and playgoer will gain an intensified awareness of the reality of great selves that differ from us only in vividness and sheer amplitude of being.
