The most immense of plays is also the most constricting

opet kritika predstave "Kralj Lir"

Discussion

Non-ProZ.com Jul 14, 2004:
cela recenica The most immense of plays is also the most constricting, and it would be almost inhuman not to harbor a nagging apprehension at the prospect of undergoing, once again, the process of settling down for a dress rehearsal of one's own disappearance into an abyss that doesn't become any more domesticated with the passage of centuries.

mislim da se vise radi o ogranicavanju ili sputavanju, ali ne mogu da nadjem odgovarajuci superlativ
hvala na (dosadasnjoj) pomoci!

najveca predstava isto tako i najvise sputava te bi bilo skoro nehumano ne prozivljavati ....

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Slazem se sa Nedzadom da se recenica bazira na kontrastu izmedju "immense" i "constricting", ali "the most immense of plays..." ne znaci "najveci deo djela". Hvala svima!"

Sretno
