The Text states that Moliere wrote many different types of plays and they were well known for their timeless characters, which is still well known. The article also states that Wilbur’s approach to translation is informative and he often gives importance to “rhyming solutions”. I find it interesting that he argues that creating natural verse is a matter of patience, and creating rhymes that sound new. The article stated that at one point Wilbur had a fear of unintentionally overlapping verses, this shows the possibility of verses may have been more limited than it is
They would play practical jokes on the travelers, and this is what Hal encounters in his play. Many of these connections between all of the characters and Edwards life is a big part of the authorship debate, and it is what Oxfordians like to use when they are arguing over who wrote the works. Because the authorship debate between Edward de Vere, the 17th earl of Oxford, and William Shakespeare has gone on for many years, many arguments have started, and much has been proven. The way Edwards education was far superior to shakespeares, how he had connections to Queen elizabethan, and how his personal life connected to many characters from many plays are all very strong and valid proof that Edward de Vere is is the true author of the works from shakespeare, and not the man who just took credit for unbelievable stories, plays, and many
‘The Tragedy of King Richard the 3rd’ was a revolutionary play of its time due to its appeal of all classes ranging from the noblest Queen to the street pheasant. King Richard also explores the concept of what it means to be evil; Pacino’s film reflects this giving an insight on the faces, motives and free will of Richard. Shakespeare’s integrity lies in his accessibility to an audience and his ability to explore values within his plays. King Richard is a man who presents copious ideological characteristics and also throws into confusion many traditional values set into the mindsets of the Elizabethan and post-Elizabethan peoples. The opening lines of the play have Richard speak directly to the audience in the form of a soliloquy ‘Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious by this son of York,’ this metaphor is a direct link to the character of Richard, a man who is discontent.
The actors speak Shakespeare’s dialogue eloquently and beautifully which I can personally deem as poetry in motion. Having Macbeth interpreted this way; I believe that it makes it much more relatable and easier to understand. Often times, people have trouble when it comes to Shakespeare’s choice of words and how he lays out the discourse of his plays. In this film, that dilemma seems to be thrown out the window and the words paired with the actions, actors, and setting in the film, make it effortless to follow along. The acting is spot-on in this film.
Many parts of the English language derived from the writings of Shakespeare. Although told in much different context that is often nearly impossible to understand, Shakespeare provided us with many insightful life lessons in his literature. The phrase, “kill them with kindness” was originally published in The Taming of the Shrew. This phrase teaches us to treat our enemies and those who try to bring us down with kindness in order to show them that their cruel words do not hold a candle to our confidence and demeanor. The phrase, “all that glitters isn’t gold” also came from another Shakespearean text, The Merchant of Venice.
English 'Persuasive Writing' By Eva Kiss Literature is meant to provide a perspective on life. The ability to view writing through different perspectives allows a deeper understanding of the text, as well as a wider knowledge about the world around us. William Shakespeare's Henry IV:Part One is one of his many historical plays, arguably intended to divulge to the Tudor England audience a different viewpoint of the Royal family to contemplate the rule of King Henry IV. The text opens up the issues of duty, the question of honour, the 'right' approach towards leadership and the value of life which, considering the Elizabethan period in which it was written, delves into the many concerns of the responders of the time, as well as remaining
Conclusion a) Prominent writer b) A genius c) No history d) Relevance of his works Shakespeare William Shakespeare is a renown writer who is remembered for his great oratory and writing genius (Ngulu 12). Indeed, his works has been shrouded in mystery as many people wonder whether he wrote all the lays and drama, or whether several authors were responsible for the write-ups. This controversy has led to many theories about the authorship of all the works attributed to Shakespeare. Many people argue that if indeed Shakespeare were the one who wrote all the works that bear his name, he would have written
Amleth versus Hamlet Hamlet is a classic story written by one of the biggest authors in history, William Shakespeare. But it is interesting to know that Hamlet is based off a story written by Saxo Grammaticus titled Historia Danica. Even though both stories have a number of comparisons, there are also many differences. However, when choosing which storyline is better, the latter one wins. Hamlet has moments which catapult it to extraordinary drama, making readers, like myself, more eager to read along.
Pacino’s Looking for Richard (LFR) draws on Shakespeare’s play King Richard III in his ‘docudrama-like-thing’ pursuing the goal of making Shakespeare more accessible for a notoriously uninterested 20th century audience. Through the connections implicit and explicit between the texts my understanding of the idea of legitimacy and language have been enriched through a relationship between the two texts where the appropriation affects the original text as well as the text influencing the appropriation. Despite differing contextual circumstances, the contestable nature of legitimacy and its fabrication of credibility is reflected in both LFR and RIII, whether it be over Shakespeare or monarchy. The reshaping of ideas in RIII has also illustrates
