Abstract
A. C. Bradley's approach to character-construal in Shakespearean Tragedy
(1904) has often been regarded as a good example of the humanizing approach
to literary characters. His lectures on Iago, Othello or Macbeth
have been criticized by other scholars for a number of reasons, but particularly
for using premises and facts in his argumentation which are not
found in the plays. Bradley's task is in many senses an example of person
perception, which he performs without alluding to any social psychological
theories or methods. In the present article I revise Bradley's reasoning
in the light of Kelley 's Covariance Theo1y of Causal Attribution, in an attempt
both to re-evaluate Bradley s procedures and, especially, to determine
ways in which social psychology might provide literary critics with
valuable tools and insights.
