Dr. David Allen White continues the discussion of the life and work of William Shakespeare. Working with reference to various plays and poems, Dr. David Allen White evokes here the Catholic themes in Shakespeare, involving everything from an emphasis on the need for Good Works and Penance to an awareness of the reality of Purgatory. Shakespeare's artistic mastery and his Catholic spirit are shown to work together to create his masterpieces.
