William Shakespeare is known by all as a famous playwright, but not many people understand how important his work is because it was written so long ago, and they believe it is irrelevant. William Shakespeare has influenced the theatrical world, or say the entire world through his work, because of the impact his characters have on the audience. I have been studying William Shakespeare for five years now, he is one of my favorite authors, and I have read many of his books. Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet…

most famous works have been incorporated in school curriculums for decades, therefore there is no surprise that it has been translated into various forms in order for it to be taught effectively in class. With dramas, such as Hamlet and Macbeth, Shakespeare was able to explore many themes that are very relatable to his readers, which is why teachers today use both reading, technology and analyzing/performing in their classrooms so their students are able to understand the plot more clearly, see…

This week's supplemental reading focused mostly on the development of the performance aspect of the work of Shakespeare. This passage started off with a conversation focusing on the common troupes that English audiences would have had to willful suspend their disbelief in order to fully process, things like boys dressed as women or using candles to indicate nighttime, in the middle of the day. It raised the question of to what extent audiences of the time truly were every truly able to become…

Like many of the works of literature that have been published so far, Shakespeare’s plays and poems have references to real-life monarchs, events in his life, works of art, or to classical and Greek mythologies. One example is The Third Part of Henry the Sixth, a history play that depicts the horrors left by the Wars of the Roses and the moral chaos in which England succumbed after the conflict. In Act 3, Scene 3, the character of Gloucester mentions the powers of a mermaid and basilisk, which…

the 1500s. Last time I checked no one in my class was alive in the 1500s. Men do not treat women like what Shakespeare wrote. Then, why do students need to be educated about the way women were treated so long ago? I could understand learning the behavior of men if we were still behaving that way. Americans are not though. Is the government trying to influence boys to treat girls like Shakespeare wrote? Therefore, the speech by Sojourner Truth would have no meaning. Finally, no Shakespeare’s…

I think Shakespeare adapted female roles dependant on the genre of the play as it would help accentuate certain themes and aspects within the script. The female roles could usually be related to the social normalities of the sexes within Shakespeare’s time as women were stereotypically below men in the social hierarchy and most of William Shakespeare’s plays conform to this but at the same time challenge aspects of it. His plays portray women as having a sense of high wilfulness with an attempt…

written now have a different aspect of how a play may be because William Shakespeare lived in a completely different era. A play from over 2,000 years ago would be completely different from a play from a couple centuries, because William Shakespeare made plays during the 1600s, like Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello. Plays from ancient greece 2,000 years ago are completely different because plays from ancient greece and William Shakespeare are both in different eras of time, and have different writers…

of William Shakespeare For my production response paper I decided to attend The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, a University of Anderson production play. The play lasted about and hour and thirty minutes with 4 actors; Pia Desideria, Katie Judge, Jack Render, and Cassi Russell. In all honesty I was stoked to attend this play due to the fact that it’s been around 10 years since I have attended a play. The title of the play gave me an idea of what I would be expecting. Shakespeare is one…
