(Diary 1952, Feb. 13)<\/p>\n<p>Nancy (Fulford, Frye\u2019s god daughter] sent me a Valentine &amp; her picture\u2014she\u2019s going to be a lovely young woman. (Diary 1955)<\/p>\n<p>The question of Gertrude\u2019s guilt, as we know from the bad Quarto, has been suppressed, i.e., left to the audience to speculate about. The question of Ophelia\u2019s suicide is similarly left in the air, &amp; the question of her pregnancy is raised only by her St. Valentine song &amp; one\u2019s general knowledge of literary conventions relative to fucked &amp; frenzied maidens. If she\u2019s pregnant, Hamlet is cursing his mother for his own sin; if she\u2019s not, her madness scene is mostly virginal Oedipism. Any way you take these puzzles, the play falls into a different shape: it\u2019s like walking over boards laid on crossbeams, &amp; there\u2019s not intended to be one correct answer. Think how differently the Hamlet-Ophelia scenes, notably the mousetrap one, read when we put virgin &amp;pregnant women for Ophelia: However, I don\u2019t think Ophelia was pregnant, but I do think she thought she was. (Notebook 8, Renaissance Notebooks, par. 25)<\/p>\n<p><em>The Parliament of Fowls<\/em>, where suitors of an eagle are put off for a year by the lady eagle, &amp; then ends in a ballad of the coming of spring, is a major influence on Love\u2019s Labor\u2019s Lost. I don\u2019t know if the St. Valentine\u2019s festival is in Love\u2019s Labor\u2019s Lost or not. (Renaissance Notebooks)<\/p>\n<p>We live in an intuitive world of abstract, geometrical, arbitrary symbols: traffic signs, dates, a geometrical alphabet (note how words today break down into letters &amp; Robot words, O.K., F.B.I., UNRRD, &amp; a world dominated by U.K., U.S.A., &amp; U.S.S.R.: a man in the Army speaks almost nothing else) flags (swastika &amp; rayed sun, a flag with 13 red &amp; white bars &amp; 48 stars are potent symbols), arbitrarily conventionalized shapes (the v-shaped \u201cheart\u201d of cards &amp; St. Valentine\u2019s day; the star-shaped star), &amp; so on.\u00a0 (Romance Notebooks)<\/p>\n<p>Red &amp; white are the colors of erotic love (Shakespeare\u2019s PT [<em>The Phoenix and the Turtle<\/em>], Valentine\u2019s Day, [See WP, 270\u20131, and MM, 49\u201350.] the flower in MND [<em>A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream<\/em>, 3.2. 102\u20139], the episode in Parzival); the colors of its demonic white-goddess parody are red, white and black.\u00a0 Red &amp; white are also the colors of Jesus\u2019 bodily resurrection, the animal body and blood where the red principle is the life. (Late Notebooks)<\/p>\n<p>Shakespeare\u2019s Phoenix and the Turtle is a different matter: there the Biblical metaphor of two people becoming \u201cone flesh\u201d in marriage [Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:31] is applied, in an erotic context, to the union in \u201cdeath,\u201d which can mean sexual union, of a red bird and a white bird on St.\u00a0 Valentine\u2019s Day.\u00a0 Some of the paradoxes resulting from two things becoming the same thing almost read like parodies of the Nicene creed on the persons and substance of the Trinity. (\u201cThe Survival of Eros in Poetry\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>In this play [<em>The Two Gentlemen of Verona<\/em>] the \u201ctwo gentlemen\u201d are named Valentine and Proteus, which means that one is a true lover and the other a fickle one. Valentine loves Silvia, but is blocked by the usual parental opposition; Proteus loves Julia, but discards her as soon as he sees Silvia. He then deliberately betrays Valentine in order to knock him out as a rival for Silvia; Julia disguises herself as a male page and sets out in pursuit of Proteus. At the end of the play Proteus finds Silvia alone in a wood, tries to rape her, and is baffled when Valentine bursts out of the bushes and says: \u201cRuffian, let go that rude uncivil touch . . . !\u201d All very correct melodrama, and we wait for Proteus to get the proper reward of his treachery to Valentine. What happens next is so incredible that I can only resort to paraphrase. Proteus says in effect: I know it was a dirty trick to try to rape your mistress; it just seemed too good a chance to miss.\u201dAnd Valentine responds, in effect: \u201cOh, that\u2019s all right, old man, and of course if you really want Silvia so much she\u2019s yours.\u201d Fortunately, the disguised Julia, who\u2019s been following closely behind, puts an end to this nonsense by fainting. They pick her up and see who she is; Proteus now finds her more attractive than he did before, and everything ends happily. So far as all this has a point, the point seems to be that love for women is to be subordinated in a crisis to male friendship. (<em>Northrop Frye on Shakespeare<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>In Shakespeare\u2019s time, as Theseus\u2019s remark indicates, the main emphasis on the first of May fell on a sunrise service greeting the day with songs. All the emphasis was on hope and cheerfulness. Shakespeare evidently doesn\u2019t want to force a specific date on us: it may be May Day eve, but all we can be sure of is that it\u2019s later than St. Valentine\u2019s Day in mid February, the day when traditionally the birds start copulating, and we could have guessed that anyway.
