	Describes dialogue between two Russian writers, Ivan Turgenev and Afanasy Fet, about Shakespeare's Hamlet, noting that "for Fet, the tragedy of Shakespeare’s character lays in the depth of internal suffering that arose due to the unbearable hardships of fate, while Turgenev saw its basis in an extreme moral and psychological contradiction." Points to Shakespeare's and Fet's influences on Turgenev's "The Hamlet of the Shtchigri District." Russian summary, 233; English summary, 255.
