About This Quote
….it was a brave man's fear. I knew what he meant. What must a brave general feel when he knows the battle has gone against him and nothing remains but death? In this quote, Shakespeare captures the essence of fear in all of its dark and terrifying form. Everyone from time to time feels fear, but what makes it different from most normal fears is that it is so paralyzing. It paralyzes the people who live through it and keeps them from doing anything to improve their situation.
