The Merchant of Venice - GCSE 9-1 set text student edition

A la suite d'un naufrage, les jumeaux Viola et Sébastien échouent séparément en Illyrie. Sans ressources ni protection, Viola est contrainte de se travestir pour entrer à la cour d'Orsino, le seigneur du lieu. Sous le nom de Césario, elle devient le page d'Orsino, qui lui propose de s'entremettre entre lui et celle qu'il aime, Olivia. Mais cette dernière se montrera moins sensible aux arguments d'Orsino qu'aux charmes ambigus du jeune page... Comédie mettant en scène un chassé-croisé amoureux rythmé de bouffonneries, la Nuit des Rois a servi de divertissement pour les fêtes de l'Epiphanie au temps du règne d'Elisabeth Ière. Interrogeant avec gaieté les identités fluctuantes et le travestissement, elle tire pleinement parti du style et du désordre joyeusement baroques de ce chef-d'oeuvre de Shakespeare.

Hamlet

Othello, Macbeth, Le Roi Lear

Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!

You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout

Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!

You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,

Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,

Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,

Smite flat the thick rotundity o' the world!

Crack nature's moulds, an germens spill at once,

That make ingrateful man!

This   carefully crafted ebook: "The Complete Comedies of William Shakespeare" is   formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of   contents.
The plays of Shakespeare that are usually categorised as comedies are   generally identifiable as the comedies of Shakespeare in that they are full   of fun, irony and dazzling wordplay. They also abound in disguises and   mistaken identities with very convoluted plots that are difficult to follow,   with very contrived endings. A Shakespearean comedy is one that has a happy   ending, usually involving marriages between the unmarried characters, and a   tone and style that is more light-hearted than Shakespeare's other plays.   Patterns in the comedies include movement to a "green world", both   internal and external conflicts, and a tension between Apollonian and   Dionysian values.
