Annotation:
	Builds a context for analyzing "Will" in Sonnet 135 by discussing how Shakespeare and John Donne "share a profoundly linguistic discovery: the realization that the self can be possessed and confirmed only through and as acts of predication in which the immediacy of the self is sacrificed to the hegemony of its signifiers." Demonstrates this principle with readings from Hamlet. David Lee Miller's "Improper Nouns: A Response to Marshall Grossman" (141-47) focuses on Donne.
