The Role of History in Shakespeare has not been examined sufficiently, perhaps because of the ambiguity of various remarks Aristotle made in his work on the "Poetics". Weil points out that History like many other disciplines in various categories of the sciences has a hylomorphic Structure. We argue that there are a number of arguments which support reclassifying many of Shakespeares plays.

The organ of speech is best positioned to represent our relation to other things and is therefore the origin of many of the performing arts. Hamlets soliloquy manifests many of the modern concerns we have about the role of consciousness in our lives. Critics however, sometimes overcomplicate Hamlets motivations

Aesthetic ideas are used by Shakespeare to "show" the reach of the powers of the imagination, understanding and Reason. We are taken on a hypnotic cosmopolitan journey into the worlds of Emperors, Kings, Queens, Princes, soldiers, lawyers, merchants, university students, sailors tyrants and murderers in familiar and exotic places of the world. Hamlet is merely an indecisive youthful university student/lover who happens to be a Prince in a difficult situation in which his father was murdered. He represents our modern form of consciousness which as Norththrop Frye claims "kills" action with its inaction, its inhibitive function.

Noos is the part of mind which is a first principle of all our mental and psychological powers and which Aristotle believed was a divine part of the human mind which was confined to thinking about something. Divine thinking on the other hand was a form of thinking about thinking which it was impossible for us to comprehend. The Storm of the collision of Indian, Eastern and European Cultures and mythologies is here and is creating chaotic turbulence.

"Dust in the air suspended marks the place where a story ended"( T S Eliot Four Quartets). The Astronauts walked on the dust of the moon after the moon was despiritualised and the dust was not the dust of lost souls but remnants of physical processes in the long distant past. Frobenius sees the human race to be maturing toward a telos in which the Holy Ghost no longer needs institutional assistance and can speak directly to mens hearts. Campbell neglects to unravel the mystery of the oracles and the muses.
