The Bottom Line WS sets the scene for widespread heart sickness.


SICK AT HEART

Barnardo: He.
Francisco: You come most carefully upon your hour.
Barnardo. 'Tis now struck twelve. Get thee to bed, Franscisco.
Francisco: For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,
And I am sick at heart.

Dr. Raffel essays an interpretation by denoting "sick at heart" "inwardly weary". I prefer sick at heart. No explanation is given for this self-revelation.

Sick at heart is sharp. It suggests to me that WS gives the right of self-expression to all comers.

A drama open to the internal, the heart of things. A sickness there. Compounded of a late watch -- bitter cold -- precursor to a state of heart, a sickness to be unveiled. Therefore just left to sit there.
