Note 471 — SCENE I.
Reading edition
Mr. Symonds has an excellent criticism on this passage in Shakespeare's Predecessors, 664-5. He contrasts Virgil's reserve with Marlowe's exaggeration; and remarks that "even Shakespeare, had he dealt with Hector's as he did with Hamlet's father's ghost, would have sought to intensify the terror of the apparition at the expense of artistic beauty."
