Shakespeare
est un "génie ignorant les castes, les préjugés, et les interdits
qui en découlent.Œuvre immense qui a fait du théâtre le miroir de
l'univers. Chacun des personnages de
W.S est l'archétype d'une attitude de l"homme devant l'énigme du
monde ou d'une des passions qui le dévorent ou qui l'exaltent. WS impose
la vision d'une humanité qui, au sein d'un monde où tout n'est
qu'apparence et jeu de miroir, mène inlassablement la quête d'une
authenticité qui toujours la fuit.De l'historien au roi, de la
courtisane, chacun y assure, de la naissance
à la mort et le visage toujours masqué, la totalité d'un rôle où
le burlesque et le tragique vont naturellement de pair, où l'incohérence,
la dérision et le néant sont finalement la proie de toute domination, de
toute gloire et de tout bonheur." (d'après
Robert 2)

7. John Arbuthnot (1667-1735)
Although the name was already in use for some time before , the first literay reference to John Bull occured when John Arbuthnot wrote The History of John Bull (1712), a satire in which he portrayed John Bull as "an honest plain-dealing fellow, choleric, bold, and of a very inconstant temper."
Since then, John Bull has been a stereotype of the typical Englishman, the English people, or their government.
In cartoons, stocky John Bull is usually depicted wearing a squat top hat, neckcloth, waistcoat, tailcoat, tight breeches, and boots.
