- The first recorded works of Shakespeare are
Richard III and the three parts of Henry VI,
written in the early 1590s during a vogue for
historical drama. Shakespeare's plays are
difficult to date, however and studies of the
texts suggest that Titus Andronicus, The Comedy
of Errors, The Taming of the Shrew and Two
Gentlemen of Verona may also belong to
Shakespeares earliest period. - Shakespeare's first plays were written in the
conventional style of the day. He wrote them in a
stylised language The poetry depends on extended,
sometimes elaborate metaphors , and the language
is often rhetorical. - Shakespeares plays are divided into comedies,
histories and tragedies.

16?short analitic view
- Shakespeare most performed plays are Hamlet,
Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Othello, The Tempest,
A Midsummer Night's Dream, King Lear, The Taming
of the Shrew. The tragic structure of human
nature is heavenly exhibited in Hamlet
considered as being Shakespeares longest play
and among the most powerful and influential
tragedies in the English literature(Thomson). - Tragedies like Romeo and Juliet, Titus
Andronicus, Mac Beth, King Lear, Othello, Anthony
and Cleopatra, Cymbeline open an endless capacity
of analyzing human being behaviour. - The bloody endings, the harsh perspective on life
featuring revenge, guilt, death, suicide,
madness, outrageous murders, jealousy, complete
the tragic life circle, leaving the audience and
readers breathless. - Comedies As you like it, Measure for Measure,
Loves Labours Lost, The Comedy of Errors,
A Midsummer Nights Dream, The Tempest
display the never-ending struggle between the
forces of good and evil and the theme of love
that has profound effects on characters actions
compelling the fact that most of them hide
themselves in false identities. - Published in 1609, the Sonnets were the last of
Shakespeare's non-dramatic works to be printed. A
prominent theme of Shakespeare's sonnets is the
paradoxical nature of love, Shakespeare depicted
the human passion. Other themes refer to beauty,
mortality, the ravages of time.
17?poetical view
- Timpul este prea lent pentru cei care asteapta,
prea iute pentru cei care se tem, prea lung
pentru cei care se plâng, prea scurt pentru cei
care sarbatoresc. Dar, pentru cei ce iubesc,
timpul este o eternitate.
Sa te aseman cu o zi de vara?Frumusete si
balanta ai mai mult.În mai, ades furtuni muguri
doboara,Iar verile-s prea scurte, si-n
tumult.De multe ori cerescul ochi prea arde,Sau
ceturi auriul chip l-au sters,Si ce-i frumos din
frumusete scadeÎntâmplator, sau de-al naturii
mers.Dar vesnica ta vara nu se duce,Minunea
chipului tu n-o sa-ti schimbi,Nu te umbreste
moartea-ntre naluceCând în eterne versuri cresti
în timp.Cât mai respira-n lume om, cât
ochiu-nvata,Trai-va si acest poem si-ti va da
viata.
Când ochii mi-i închid ei vad mai bineCa ziua
n-au prea multe de aflatDar când adorm, în vis
pornesc spre tineSi-n bezna, vii, viu bezna o
strabat.Tu, umbra ce dai umbrelor splendoare,Fa
umbra ta aievea sa-mi aparaCând ochii orbi o
vad stralucitoare,În clar de zi va straluci mai
clara.Încânta-mi ochii, spun, ca tare-as
vreaSa-i vad pe-ai tai în fapt de dimineataAsa
cum toata noaptea umbra taÎn somnu-mi greu
privirea mi-o rasfata.Când nu te vad, mi-e ziua
noapte-ntreagaSi noaptea-i zi când visele
te-ncheaga. Sonet 43
18?after time
- O, slabiciune, numele tau e femeie!
- Lumea-ntreaga e o scena si toti oamenii-s actori.
- Ceea ce vrem sa facem, s-o facem atunci când
vrem pentru ca acest vrem se schimba si are
scaderi si amânari. - Suntem facuti din acelasi material din care sunt
tesute visele. - Moartea este o datorie pe care fiecare nu o poate
plati decât o singura data. - Asculta-i pe multi, vorbeste la putini.
- Nu exista nimic bun sau rau, numai gândirea
noastra face ca lucrurile sa arate astfel. - Vointa noastra si destinul merg atât de opus
încât planurile mereu ne sunt rasturnate. - Noi când ne nastem plângem ca intram... pe
