AB  - Uses the changeling Indian boy in Midsummer Night's Dream to examine the presence of desire in the absence of a physical body. Also briefly discusses Rosaline in Romeo and Juliet and Flavina in Two Noble Kinsmen as absent objects of desire. Concludes that "Shakespearean theatricality insists that desire can never be seen, recognized, or controlled, and that its contours can never be fully fleshed out . . . this non-materializable desire has the most agency of all."
