Since studying Drama at school and then later at University and now as strictly amateur actor, the only version of Shakespeare's plays that I will use are those by Arden. Thus, according to Daniell, 'Caesar did, and did not, deserve to die,' while Brutus 'is, and is not, the tragic hero. Daniell's argument in favour of selecting the 1632 reading (in which the comma redirects meaning) makes perfect sense, even if initially baffling.
