Question

Read the passage from A Room of One’s Own.

Answer 1

Fired and consumed, those both express shakespeare’s use of his plays to express emotion

Answer 2

Answers:

fired and consumed.

Explanation:

In this passage taken from Woolf´s essay, she reflects, as so many others before and after her, upon Shakespeare´s enigmatic persona and personal life and how well disguised they both are in his extensive oeuvre. For all we know about Shakespeare´s life, it is not through his art that we can learn about the nuances of it. In his art, there is sublimation, the work of a genius: there is a kind of universal content but not personal reflections. Through creative expression, Shakespeare finds an outlet for his emotions that hold no personal details but rather only universal themes.
