Mano Macbeth

HAMLET Voici l’heure sinistre de la nuit, L’heure des tombes qui s’ouvrent, celle où l’enfer Souffle au-dehors sa peste sur le monde. Maintenant je pourrais boire le sang chaud Et faire ce travail funeste que le jour Frissonnerait de voir… Mais, paix ! D’abord ma mère. Oh, n’oublie pas, mon cœur, qui elle est. Que jamais Une âme de Néron ne hante ta vigueur ! Sois féroce mais non dénaturé. Mes mots seuls la poignarderont ; c’est en cela Que mon âme et ma voix seront hypocrites ; Mon âme ! aussi cinglantes soient mes paroles, Ne consens pas à les marquer du sceau des actes ! (Acte III, scène II).

Hamlet

"Zwei Lieben habe ich, die wie zwei Geister

Mich trösten oder zur Verzweiflung bringen:

Der bess're Geist ist ein vollkomm'ner Mann,

Der schlecht're eine zwielichtige Frau." (Sonett 144)

Diesen beiden Lieben widmet Shakespeare sein Werk "Sonnets". Dafür schlüpft er in die Rollen zweier Liebhaber, von denen der eine einen jungen Mann, der andere eine erfahrene Frau liebt. Beide Verhältnisse entwickeln sich glücklos. Der platonische Liebhaber des jungen Mannes verliert diesen an homosexuelle Rivalen und ein fragwürdiges Milieu. Der Liebhaber der Frau verliert seine Selbstachtung in sexueller Abhängigkeit von der Frau.

Sophie Brands' Übersetzung und Interpretation ist eine allgemeinverständliche Darstellung der Sonette Shakespeares. Darüber hinaus wirft sie ein völlig neues Licht auf dieses Werk, denn in ihrer Version erscheint "Sonette" nicht mehr als eine Sammlung schwieriger Einzelgedichte, sondern als ein sorgfältig aufgebautes und ausgefeiltes, in sich schlüssiges Kunstwerk.

Roméo et Juliette (Romeo and Juliet) est une tragédie de William Shakespeare. Écrite vers le début de sa carrière, elle raconte l'histoire de deux jeunes amants dont la mort réconcilie leurs familles ennemies.

La pièce s'inscrit dans une série d'histoires d'amour tragiques remontant à l'Antiquité. Son intrigue est basée sur un conte italien traduit en anglais et en vers par Arthur Brooke en 1562 sous le titre The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet. En 1582, William Painter en propose une version en prose dans Palace of Pleasure. Shakespeare emprunte aux deux, mais approfondit l'intrigue en développant les personnages secondaires, notamment Mercutio et le comte Pâris.

Probablement rédigée entre 1591 et 1595, la pièce est publiée pour la première fois en in-quarto en 1597.

Plusieurs éléments témoignent du talent naissant de dramaturge de Shakespeare : son usage particulier de la structure, notamment l'alternance entre scènes comiques et tragiques pour accroître la tension, son développement des personnages secondaires, et son usage d'intrigues annexes pour améliorer le récit.

Chaque personnage se voit attribuer une forme poétique particulière, qui peut varier au fil de son évolution : ainsi Roméo devient-il davantage adepte du sonnet au fil de la pièce.

This   carefully crafted ebook: "The Taming of the Shrew (The Unabridged Play) + The   Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare" is formatted for your   eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
The Taming of the Shrew is one of Shakespeare's earliest comedies, believed   to have been written between 1590 and 1592. It was inspired by classical   Roman comedy and the Italian commedia dell'arte. Baptista Minola, a rich   gentleman of Padua, has two daughters: Katherina, renowned for her sharp   tongue, and Bianca, who is sought after by multiple suitors. Baptista decides   that Bianca cannot marry until her elder sister finds a husband. Enter   Petruchio, who has come to "wive it wealthily in Padua," and who is   convinced by Bianca's suitors to woo Katherina. The play ultimately poses the   question of who is the bigger shrew: Kate or Petruchio. The subplot involves   the subterfuge employed by Lucentio to woo the lovely Bianca.
Life of William Shakespeare is a biography of William Shakespeare by the   eminent critic Sidney Lee.  This book   was one of the first major biographies of the Bard of Avon. It was published   in 1898, based on the article contributed to the Dictionary of National   Biography.
William Shakespeare (1564  - 1616)   was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in   the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called   England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon".  His extant works, including some   collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative   poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of some of which is   uncertain.
Sir Sidney Lee (1859 - 1926) was an English biographer and critic. He was a   lifelong scholar and enthusiast of Shakespeare. His article on Shakespeare in   the fifty-first volume of the Dictionary of National Biography formed the   basis of his Life of William Shakespeare. This full-length life is often   credited as the first modern biography of the poet.

The Taming of the Shrew (The Unabridged Play) + The Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare

How courtesy would seem to cover sin,

When what is done is like an hypocrite,

The which is good in nothing but in sight!

If it be true that I interpret false,

Then were it certain you were not so bad

As with foul incest to abuse your soul;

Where now you're both a father and a son,

By your untimely claspings with your child,

Which pleasure fits an husband, not a father;

And she an eater of her mother's flesh,

By the defiling of her parent's bed;

And both like serpents are, who though they feed

On sweetest flowers, yet they poison breed.

Antioch, farewell! for wisdom sees, those men

Blush not in actions blacker than the night,

Will shun no course to keep them from the light.

One sin, I know, another doth provoke;

Murder's as near to lust as flame to smoke:

Poison and treason are the hands of sin,

Ay, and the targets, to put off the shame:

Then, lest my lie be cropp'd to keep you clear,

By flight I'll shun the danger which I fear.

Pericles, prince of Tyre

An ageing king makes a capricious decision to divide his realm among his three daughters according to the love they express for him. When the youngest daughter refuses to take part in this charade, she is banished, leaving the king dependent on her manipulative and untrustworthy sisters.
