...Although Samuel Johnson valued the play for its clear moral lesson against trusting in false friends, most commentators have found its remorseless insistence on this point crude, and even Johnson felt the play was deficient in structure. Coleridge , influentially, considered it an ‘after vibration’ of King Lear , ‘a Lear of the satirical drama, a Lear of ordinary life’. Hazlitt was unusual in his unqualified enthusiasm for the play, which he valued for its unrelenting earnestness, but generally the play has been valued for individual passages...

I know of no concept richer than this for affirming the capacity of man and his energies; it makes him the absolute master of the universe. And I know of no concept further removed from surrender and fate than the concept of stewardship to God because stewardship gets to the bottom of the sense of responsibility concerning what one is made steward of. There is no responsibility without liberty and a sense of choice and an ability to master circumstances. Otherwise, what...

None is entitled to make laws on his own authority and none is obliged to abide by them. This right rests in Allah alone: The Authority rests with none but Allah. He commands you not to surrender to any one save Him. This is the right way (of life). ...
