Romances as the Bard's Greatest

Thinking back to class on Friday, I completely agree with the comment on Shakespeare's greatest artistical achievement being those final four plays. After a quick glance through them, them seems to be a much greater depth to the plot and the characters. Good ole Will, appears to be pulling down greater and greater amounts of memories from the Jungian collection consciousness. There almost appears to be a stronger cross generational and cultural link with theese works. Simply put, the richness of words, characters, and actions seems to sky rocket with these pieces. To individuals isolated from the understanding of the collective oversoul, it may appear that these plays are half-assed attempts by Shakespeare. Upon deeper evaluation (and perhaps a little more reading into Jung, and even Emerson's works) it becomes apparent of the depth of linkages here.
