Shakespeare’s tragedies fall into two clusters: one in which the hero dies in isolation, the other in which he dies clinging to a beloved woman. Rudnytsky deploys Balint’s concept of the basic fault to argue that these seemingly antithetical tendencies are complementary responses to a traumatic rupture in the primitive mother-child bond. Detailed analyses of Othello and Macbeth are presented to substantiate this hypothesis, along with two vignettes to illustrate the reciprocal enrichment of literary and clinical work in psychoanalysis.
