- Note Relating to Cather
In The Professor's House, Godfrey St. Peter considers that Tom Outland, "this tramp boy," has "amass[ed] a fortune for someone whose name he had never heard, for 'an extravagant and wheeling stranger'" (Othello I.1.135).
In "Neighbor Rosicky," Anton Rosicky understands that (unlike Iago) people like Polly do not "wear their heart on their sleeve" I:1, ll. 64 .
In a letter, Cather recalls seeing a performance with Paul Robeson and Uta Hagen, and writes that Hagen "conceived and acted the part beautifully."
