Memory plays an important role in most of Shakespeare's plays.
Shakespeare delves into the dark realms of human consciousness to reflect the
disturbed minds and gnawing consciences of his characters with a profound
psychological insight into the human psyche. Time, memory, madness and death
seem to be the basic issues dealt with in his canon. My paper will address the
uncontrollable mnemonic fragments within the human consciousness which reflect
past traumas, fears and disturbances and will examine the cases of Ophelia and
Lady Macbeth from a feminist reading of women.
