- Abstract:
- In a time when the anxiety about Elizabeth I's heir to the throne was ripe, and illegal to discuss, Shakespeare focuses on the issue of succession in King John, and shows the parallels to his own age, while using Hubert as a metaphor for the difficult position of Shakespeare's contemporary citizens of England as they anticipate the naming of Elizabeth's heir.
