Shakespeare inspired lots of famous poets both in the present and in the past; without him being a role model, there wouldn’t be many…

Topic Since the eighteenth century, scholars have debated whether William Shakespeare, high school dropout and glove maker’s son from the backwoods town of Stratfordupon-Avon, would have had the education, sophistication and literary skill to have written plays that are considered the most important works of literature in English. In the course of this debate, scholars have put forward many contenders as the “real author” of the plays, Queen Elizabeth I, Francis Bacon, and Christopher Marlowe.…

Literature without Shakespeare is like an fishe without water. Shakespeare is the greatest English writer and one of the greatest writers in the literary world. He is the "specialist of miracles."1 This is because of his knowledge "… to influence the outrageous of diminutiveness to create an impact like greatness – to influence the overabundance of delicacy to deliver an impact like power … to do this had a place just with Shakespeare."2 Definitely no other English author has held such a…

He then began to look at the play Venice Preserved. He provides a brief summary of the play and then goes on to say “Clearly the plot is constructed to exploit conflicting loyalties, rival claims”. At first the play seems like a model of ambivalence even containing on each side symmetrical betrayals. Rabkin proceeds to present many similarities in this work to Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth yet these allusions appear to be misleading. Venice Preserved is more significantly modelled on…

The first round of auditions required us to read a memorized monologue. I instantly picked a monologue for the lead, of course, and David originally picked a monologue for a different character. To be curt, I was overjoyed. He is widely considered across our company to be the best male actor, and moreover the best actor in general. I knew if he committed to the role, he would get it. This felt like my chance to get what I wanted. To this end, my ego began to inflate ever so slightly. At first,…

Shakespeare's plays have been produced for many centuries now. The time it has been done has changed but the words and the feelings in the play have not. Shakespeare was a famous play writer in Queen Elizabeth's time. Many of the things he would put in his plays where influenced on Queen Elizabeth's ways. Now a day when the play is re produced they try and capture that influence and try to relate as much as possible. From Characters to the feelings while producing the play many things are…

The theme of sight, and the lack thereof is ever prevalent throughout Shakespeare’s King Lear. This lack of sight, or blindness, is present when characters such as Regan or Goneril use words and disguise to cloud out the truth, when the King’s decision process is clouded by ignorance and finally with the physical representation of Gloucester’s eyes being gouged out. Shakespeare uses this theme of sight through his play to foreshadow future outcomes of events, along with revealing the evil in…
