Abstract: Nicholas Udall’s ‘Res publica’ and Sir Thomas Smith’s ‘Commonweal’ revived in Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus in 1590 when he makes a conspicuous effort to show that extremes of government are less desirable than a balanced and mixed constitution as it makes all the estates within society co-operate it. In fact, Shakespeare’s treatment of republication ideas was inflected with political discourse and ongoing crisis of succession, as Hamlet’s pursuit of self-rule with unresolved tensions between monarchical rule and republican culture. Here Shakespeare’s choice to dramatize the Amleth myth establishes a republican framework. On the other hand, Prospero pursues a political project which parodies the top heavy social structure of late Renaissance despotism. These are some perspectives which I wish to explore in this paper regarding Hamlet and Tempest with political contexts and classical republican ideas which Shakespeare had drawn on in his works.
