This chapter demonstrates a number of uses of free indirect discourse in Shakespeare’s plays, thereby putting pressure on the standard view that free indirect discourse was an outlier form in pre-modern literature. It is argued that the use of free indirect discourse in Shakespeare exhibits the features associated with free indirect discourse elsewhere: a dual perspective integrating both the point of view of the narrator and the protagonist, as well as involving mimicry of the protagonist’s speech or thought. Free indirect discourse is seen to be a tool for narrativizing speech in the plays.
