Good day! Today we will get acquainted with the work of William Shakespeare and

move

to

England,

where

he

lived

a

talented

and

mysterious

Shakespeare.

William

Shakespeare is often called the world’s greatest playwright. He wrote comedies, tragedies

and historical plays in England in the last part of the 16th and the early 17th century.

Student 1:

William Shakespeare a great English playwright, a genius who has worried mankind

for centuries. Shakespeare's contemporary Ben Johnson gave him an accurate assessment:

"the Soul of our age ... May you be glorious at all times …»

Student 2:

William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in the English town of Stratford-upon-Avon.

His father was a businessman and the town’s mayor. His mother came from a family that

owned land near Stratford. William had three younger brothers and two younger sisters.

Student 1:

Like other boys of middle-class families, William attended a grammar school in

Stratford where he got a good education and also learned Latin.

Student 2:

When William was 18 he married Anne Hathaway. They had three children, first

Susanna and then twins, a son named Hamnet and a daughter named Judith. Hamnet died

when he was 11.

Student 1:

We don’t really know what William did during the following years but in 1592 he went

to London to work as a writer and actor. It was a difficult job and only the best found work

in London.

Student 2:

From 1592 to 1594 the Black Death spread across England. Many public places were

closed and plays couldn’t be performed either. Shakespeare spent these years writing

sonnets and poems. Reading sonnet № 142 in English.

Student 3:

Sonnet 142

Love is my sin and thy dear virtue hate,

Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving:

O, but with mine compare thou thine own state,

And thou shalt find it merits not reproving;

Or, if it do, not from those lips of thine,

That have profaned their scarlet ornaments

And seal'd false bonds of love as oft as mine,

Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents.

Be it lawful I love thee, as thou lovest those

Whom thine eyes woo as mine importune thee:

Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows

Thy pity may deserve to pitied be.

If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide,

By self-example may thou be denied!

Student 1:

When the theatres opened up again in 1594 Shakespeare joined the best acting

company of the country - Lord Chamberlain’s Men. It had the best actors, the best writers

and the most famous theatre - the Globe.

The Globe was a huge amphitheatre without a roof. The seats were curved around a

stage that was built on many levels.

Student 2:

Plays always started at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. People who didn’t have the money to

buy a seat were allowed to stand in the front of the stage. All kinds of people came to see

the shows – housewives, children, noblemen and even visitors from other countries. The

company also presented special plays for kings and queens. We offer you to see a fragment

theatrical clip Alla Pugacheva sonnet № 40.

Student 1:

Shakespeare and his fellow actors were responsible for everything in the Globe theatre.

They owned the building and the costumes, they wrote the scripts and they also shared the

profits that they made. The actors and writers of the theatre worked together successfully

for many years. Reading sonnet № 21 in English.

Student 4:

Sonnet 21

So is it not with me as with that Muse,

Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse,

Who heaven itself for ornament doth use

And every fair with his fair doth rehearse,

Making a couplement of proud compare'

With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich gems,

With April's first-born flowers, and all things rare,

That heaven's air in this huge rondure hems.

O! let me, true in love, but truly write,

And then believe me, my love is as fair

As any mother's child, though not so bright

As those gold candles fix'd in heaven's air:

Let them say more that like of hearsay well;

I will not praise that purpose not to sell.

Student 2:

In the twenty years that he worked on stage Shakespeare wrote 37 plays. They can be

put into three big categories:

Tragedies are plays that show the downfall of a main character. His most famous

tragedies are Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth. Reading an excerpt from the work of

Hamlet.

Student 5:

ACT III. Scene I. A room in the Castle

(Enter Hamlet.)

Ham.

To be, or not to be,that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them? To die,to sleep,

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to,' tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die,to sleep;

To sleep! perchance to dream:ay, there's the rub;

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause: there's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life;

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,

The pangs of despis'd love, the law's delay,

The insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of the unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? who would these fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn

No traveller returns, puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Student 1:

Comedies are funny plays that have a happy ending most of the time. A Midsummer

Night’s Dream, as you like it and the merry wives of Windsor are among the most popular.

Historical plays are dramas about the lives of some of England’s most powerful kings

like Henry IV or Richard II.

Student 2:

William

Shakespeare retired from the theatre in 1610 and went back to his home town

Stratford, where he lived until his death in 1616.

In the mid-eighteenth century, William

Shakespeare was recognized as a classic, and in the early nineteenth century he was

proclaimed the greatest poet of the world.
