Through detailed analysis of a wide range of Shakespeare's plays, this 1962 study investigates the recurring themes of sin, judgement and redemption in the playwright's work. Matthews argues that these symbolic elements reveal Shakespeare's values and attitudes, providing significant clues for an interpretation of the plays.
