Excerpt from A Series of Plays, Vol. 3: In Which It Is Attempted to Delineate the Stronger Passions of the Mind
But if it has been at all necessary to offer any apology for exhibiting Fear as the actuating principle of the heroine of the first play, what must I say in defence of a much bolder step in the one that follows it, in which I have made Fear, and the fear of Death too, the actuating principle of a hero of Tragedy. I can only say, that I believed it might be done without sub mitting him to any degradation that would affect the sympathy and interest I intended to excite.
