Abstract
Abstract According to Miss Rehan’s ideal, the shrewishness of Katharine is largely superficial. She is externally a virago, but the loveliest qualities of womanhood are latent in her. She is at war with herself; a termagant in temper; haughty; self-willed; imperious; resentful of control; still more resentful of the thought of submission to love, yet, at heart, ardently desirous of it, and secretly impelled to seek for it. Her spirit is high and fiery, and while she longs for the triumph and the endearments of love, she rages against herself, contemning the weakness which permits her longing, but which really is her, as yet unrecognized, power. That ideal was implied by Miss Rehan’s treatment of the character, and her art, in the implication and expression of it, was as nearly perfect as anything of human fabric can be. The vitality, sympathy, and delicious bloom of her Katharine could not be too freely extolled.
