As I have often said, and as you will well know by this time, you have poems and prose works on divers themes in all such various styles as are put before the world as Greene's, as Shakespeare's, Burton's, as Peele's, Spenser's, as Marlowe's as Johnson's drama or my own long devised and but well begun own labour, - than which non hath a better object, - for I varied my style to suit different men, since no two show the same taste and like imagination, and all doth contain the great Cipher I constantly teach...

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
