«La grandeza de Shakespeare reside en su capacidad negativa, en su lejanía, en su neutralidad respecto a los personajes, los valores, las situaciones. Antonio Machado sugirió algo análogo: Shakespeare fue un "poeta de poetas", es decir, un creador de personajes que dicen cada cual los poemas de su propio sentir, sin revelar el sentir de su autor.»
