By making use of a scene in Othello, shows how Othello generates both external and internal self. Further, relates this issue of play's doubleness to play's own self-conscious aspects. Argues that the structure--play-within-the-play--of Midsummer Night's Dream can be a example of the case of doubleness. ER -
