Although Macbeth and Lear suggest an author in the throes of deep depression, Shakespeare managed to resolve his personal crisis and end his dramatic career with a third period characterized by a profound spirit of reconciliation. ………… In the play ancient animosities are buried and wrongs are righted by a combination of natural and supernatural means; a wide-eyed, youthful heroine rejoices on first seeing men with the words "O brave world, that has such people in it!"
