"If we have read much Shakespeare, we might be aware that he seems generally to disapprove of this new-fangled, bourgeois idea of self-proprietorship or possessive individualism, in which it is ‘as if a man were author of himself / And knew no other kin’ (“Coriolanus”). Shakespeare usually regards this fantasy of self-authorship, in which one sunders all blood ties and communal affiliations, as deeply destructive. Ulysses in “Troilus and Cressida” remarks to Achilles that ‘no man is the lord of anything … Till he communicate his part to others’, a claim which would seem to make identity without relationship a kind of cipher."
