| Summary |
"The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 04, No. 22, August, 1859" by Various is a periodical publication comprised of literary and political essays created during the mid-19th century. The opening segment delves into the intricate analysis of the dramatic elements present in the Bible, juxtaposing it against the works of renowned playwright William Shakespeare and exploring themes of morality, humanity, and character development. The beginning of this volume sets forth a compelling argument that examines the Bible's narrative style as possessing a dramatic quality that mirrors the insights of classic literature. It opens with a discussion on how both the Bible and Shakespeare's works reflect human nature, contrasting the historical and factual nature of the former with the imaginative and theatrical presentations characteristic of drama. The author uses examples from various Biblical stories, particularly the tale of Adam and Eve, to illustrate the profound emotional resonance and richness of the text, suggesting that the Bible possesses a dramatic essence that can engage readers much like a play, though remaining distinct in its purpose and presentation.
