On the other hand, the power bestowed upon him by the throne has imprisoned him. The king is unwilling to let go, as if he is glued to his throne. While listening to the king’s tales, the ghost of Shakespeare is also busy writing an end for him in his own mind. The king’s fate will be determined by his dark mind.
