Yet Shakespeare understood human personality and health in the terms available to his age—that of the now-discarded theory of the four bodily humors—blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. <em>"And there's the humor of it": Shakespeare and the four humors</em> explores the language of the four humors and their influence in Shakespeare’s plays.</p> <p>VIEW Online <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/shakespeare-and-the-four-humors/index.html">Exhibition</a> – <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/shakespeare-and-the-four-humors/digitalgallery.html">Digital Gallery</a> – <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/shakespeare-and-the-four-humors/resources.html">Resources</a> | <a href="traveling-shakespeare.html">Traveling Exhibition</a></p> </div> </li> <li> <a name="dream-anatomy"></a> <div class="photo"> <a href="/exhibition/dream-anatomy/"> <img src="/hmd/about/exhibition/img/EP-DA_ExhThumb.jpg" alt="Dream Anatomy" /> </a> </div> <div class="text"> <h3><a href="/exhibition/dream-anatomy/">Dream Anatomy</a></h3> <p>The invention of the printing press in the 15th century—and the print technologies that followed—helped to inspire the science of anatomy, and new visions of the body.

Spurned by all, the embittered creature turns into a savage killer. Shelley’s story served as a metaphor for apprehensions about scientific advancement that continue to resonate today. <em>Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature</em> explores the power of this story to expose hidden fears of science and technology as human efforts to penetrate the secrets of nature continue.</p> <p>VIEW Online <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/frankenstein/index.html">Exhibition</a> – <a href="https://digitalgallery.nlm.nih.gov/gallery/2/">Digital Gallery</a> – <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/frankenstein/education/index.html">Class Resources</a> | <a href="traveling-frankenstein.html">Traveling Exhibition (English)</a> | <a href="traveling-frankensteinbilingual.html"> Traveling Exhibition (English and Spanish)</a></p> </div> </li> <li> <a name="graphicmedicine"></a> <div class="photo"> <a href="/exhibition/graphicmedicine/"> <img src="/hmd/about/exhibition/img/GM-mainthumbnail.jpg" alt="Detail from Graphic Medicine Exhibition." /> </a> </div> <div class="text"> <h3><a href="/exhibition/graphicmedicine/">Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived and Well-Drawn!</a></h3> <p>People have told stories of illness from the perspective of their personal experiences using many mediums.
