The Value of Melancholy
"Is a life of constant contemplation and critique, like Jaques', more valuable than embracing joy and simple pleasures, even if it means overlooking deeper truths?"
Legitimacy vs. Morality
"Is Duke Frederick's reign legitimate despite his treachery, and should his subjects be obligated to obey him, or is Duke Senior's moral authority more important, even in exile?"
Nature vs. Nurture
"Can individuals truly escape their past and upbringing, or are they forever bound by the circumstances of their birth and the expectations of their social class?"
