Shakespeare’s Temperament is a hot topic in Shakespearean criticism history when Dryden established a humor-temperament-oriented literary history through the perspective of Greek-Roman traditional medicine theory and Renaissance attitudes towards giants and genius. From Dryden’s analogical inference, Shakespeare, the father of England dramatic poesy, is supposed to be Choleric-sanguine like vigorous and pioneering Homer who is versed in the design of the fable and thought, instead of being a correct poet like phlegmatic-melancholic Virgil improving the structure and language with his comprehensive mind and metaphorical thinking.
