O ciúme ficou clássico a partir de Otelo e Otelo é citado sempre como um símbolo do ciúme. Shakespeare vai fundo ao construir esta estratégia onde explora várias faces da alma humana. O pérfido Iago conduz Otelo ao ciúme infernal e enlouquecedor. O bravo mouro, veterano de terríveis batalhas e representante militar do reino de Veneza, capitula diante do mais mesquinho sentimento de ciúm

Ever since high school I've had a fascination with Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. I think it began when my English teacher at the time, Mrs. Love, "commissioned" me to build a tiny replica of the theater made entirely of construction paper, and I absolutely fell in love with the design and history of it all. For this reason I have decided to write this short article to allow you to share in my joy

This afternoon in Los Angeles I saw a production of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” by the Independent Shakespeare Company (ISC). It was the third of three performances this weekend as a sort of “try out” for the ISC’s upcoming summer schedule of free Shakespeare in the Park. The ISC’s website www.independentshakespeare.com states: ISC was founded in 1998 by a group of actors who shared a passion for classical works. Intent on rendering vivid productions of Shakespeare’s plays, our focus was stripping back the conventions of contemporary theater and placing attention onto the spoken word. Shakespeare, we reasoned, produced his plays without lighting, without recorded sound, and without elaborate scenery and costumes. Surely we could as well. You’ll find my name l

Helen Vendler, widely regarded as our most accomplished interpreter of poetry, here serves as an incomparable guide to some of the best-loved poems in the English language.In detailed commentaries on Shakespeare's 154 sonnets, Vendler reveals previously unperceived imaginative and sylistic features of the poems, pointing out not only new levels of import in particular lines, but also the ways in which the four parts of each sonnet work together to enact emotion and create dynamic effect. The commentaries--presented alongside the original and modernized texts--offer fresh perspectives on the individual poems, and, taken together provide a full picture of Shakespeare's technique as a working poet.Vendler's understanding of the sonnets informs her readings on an accompanying compact disk, whi

Sonnet 130
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red.
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet...

I’ve just seen the terrific production of “Othello” by the Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Company. The playbill notes of producing artistic director Lisa Wolpe state: “(T)he story is not just about racism, but also classism, sexism – and even heroism.” She believes Iago’s motivation for what he does to Othello comes from being a working-class career soldier whose deserved promotion goes to someone else who has “advantages of breeding, position, and class, regardless of his inexperience in the field.” In my opinion, Shakespeare wrote this play about one primary human emotion – jealousy. Shakespeare dramatically portrays how jealousy provokes even leaders of men to easily believe the worse without seeking any contrary opinions. In my forthcoming no

The best bits of Bill Bryson's book don't directly discuss Shakespeare.That isn't a criticism-far from it. Bryson is at his best when invoking the feel of a location.He painted glorious pictures of rainy Seventies England, clone-like small town America and the Australian outback in his travel/autobiographical books. Everyone should read them: although be aware that his books have different titles in America to here, for some reason.Shakespeare's England:Bryson explains in readable terms the oddities of Tudor England, including the regulation of food consumption by status and the regular flaring up of plague.That's not to say modern England isn't odd. Perhaps MRSA is today's version of the plague, seemingly impossible to eradicate and with no says to guard against it (apart from not needing
The play ‘As You Like It’ was adapted from a romance in prose called ‘Rosalynde’ by Thomas Lodge. The play was in the romance tradition and at the same departure from it.Disguise and mistaken identity were also the techniques that Shakespeare borrowed from the romantic literature. These techniques brought confusion in their wake and also resulted in humourous situations. They also enabled Shakespeare to focus attention on the theme that in this world appearances are often deceptive.Shakespearean comedy owes the concept of poetic justice to romance literature. Everything according to the satisfaction of everyone --- well-rounded conclusions with only an occasional dissatisfied human being left as if to suggest that life doesn’t lend itself to such cut and dried solutions and cann
Today Shakespeare's quote is "Now is the winter of our discontent." Since it has been snowing outside for several hours with no end in sight, I take this quote very literally. Discontent is a good word for how I'm feeling this winter. Yesterday we had sunshine and blue skies.
The river is thawing and you can actually see water running in the channel. Now, today, we're getting more snow. It's enough to make a girl want hot bread and butter.

SONNET 106When in the chronicle of wasted timeI see descriptions of the fairest wights,And beauty making beautiful old rhymeIn praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,I see their antique pen would have express'dEven such a beauty as you master now.So all their praises are but propheciesOf this our time, all you prefiguring;And, for they look'd but with divining eyes,They had not skill enough your worth to sing:For we, which now behold these present days,Had eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise. This sonnet addressed ‘to his dear friend’ is number 106 in sonnet sequence consisting of 154 sonnets. A number of his sonnets are addressed to ‘W.H.’ and others to a mysterious person, often referred
The poem 'Blow! Blow! Thou Winter Wind' :Blow, blow, thou winter wind,Thou art not so unkindAs man's ingratitude;Thy tooth is not so keen,Because thou art not seen,Although thy breath be rudeHeigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly;Most friends is feigning, most loving mere folly:Then, heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly.Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,That dost not bite so nighAs benefits forgot: Thou thou the waters warp,Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remembered not.(Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act III, sc. ii)The poem entitled ‘Blow! Blow! Thou Winter Wind’ is a song sung by the character named Amiens in the drama written by William Wordsworth. Amiens is one of the lords who have by their own choice come with Duke Senior, who had been banished by his brother. Am
‘Fear No More’ Fear no more the heat o' the sun,Nor the furious winter's rages;Thou thy worldly task hast done,Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages;Golden lads and girls all must,As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.Fear no more the frown o' the great;Thou art past the tyrant's stroke:Care no more to clothe and eat;To thee the reed is as the oak:The sceptre, learning, physic, mustAll follow this, and come to dust.Fear no more the lightning-flash,Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone;Fear not slander, censure rash;Thou hast finished joy and moan;All lovers young, all lovers mustConsign to thee, and come to dust. The poem ‘Fear No More’ appears as a song in Shakespeare’s play ‘Cymbeline’. It is a song sung over the supposed death of Imogen, the central female character of the play. The

I hope you will return and share the various feelings and thoughts that the poems have evoked in you. I would also love to receive your suggestions for the next week's poem.Sonnet 55by William ShakespeareMy choice this week may seem as an obvious, even corny, one. Old Bill has become a standard and a beacon in our culture. The longevity and extent of his influence on all of us and his continuous presence in our modern lives often amaze me. However, I also feel that, to some extent, the meaning, soul and philosophical nature of his work is lost because we are so used to them.I have first encountered Sonnet 55 at a very young age and it struck me as presumptuous and boastful.

From "The Shakespeared Brain: A Theatre of Simultaneous Possibilities":This, then, is a chance to map something of what Shakespeare does to mind at the level of brain, to catch the flash of lightning that makes for thinking. For my guess, more broadly, remains this: that Shakespeare's syntax, its shifts and movements, can lock into the existing pathways of the brain and actually move and change them—away from old and aging mental habits and easy long-established sequences. It could be that Shakespeare's use of language gets so far into our brains that he shifts and new-creates pathways—not unlike the establishment of new biological networks using novel combinations of existing elements (genes/proteins in biology: units of phonology, semantics, syntax , and morphology in language). Then indeed we might be able to see something of the ways literature can cause affect or create change, without resorting to being assertively gushy.More bardolatry here.
"Cymbeline" at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center, November 6, 2007
One of Shakespeare's last four plays, Cymbeline seems to be one where he's pulling some old tricks out of his hat, hoping to mix up something new. What we get is a convoluted opera-style plot of scheming queens (real queens, that is), magic sleeping potions, gender-bending, war, not-so-dead children, beheadings and a

B: Comedy of Errors. Oh, and The Tempest, but not the rape stuff.
The Doctor and Rose-clone Martha travel back in time and meet William Shakespeare, who’s trying to put on a sequel and getting hassled by three witches…This one works. Yes it’s got early-90s level CGI work, a thoroughly overmilked running joke, and bares a suspicious resemblance to The Unquiet Dead too, but hang on, it’s fun, and without all the usual pretentiousness.Transplanting the show’s love of taking well-known modern London landmarks and turning them into camoflaged alien bases, here it’s the original Globe Theatre that is the catalyst. The Doctor’s reasoning, that just as humans express science using maths the carrionites use words, was a great idea too. And the final chase away from Queen Elizabeth was fun as well.On a more personal level, I guess I was also able

so Dan and I decide to take the night off last night. First let me say that this was not a great choice of nights. For one thing, I forgot that there was a small group that had actually scheduled to meet in our meeting room. Fortunately the woman who scheduled to meeting is a friend and has run a restaurant before so I felt reasonably good leaving her with all the info of how to lock up the shop and since we would be coming back by the shop later that evening I felt OK about leaving it in her care. She did awesome in locking it up and everything was great except I felt awful about leaving. It is amazing how when you have gone for a whole year and a half and not gotten a decent day of business on Wednesdays or Thursdays during that entire year that as soon as you decide to change your hours to reflect when people have been using your establishment they decide to change their time of need too. Anyway, after much deliberation we have decided to change the hours of Rockhoppers. We will be

For the past couple of months, threaded through my life of auditions, background work, and rehearsing for the Upside Down Mirror, I've been performing small parts in staged readings of Shakespeare with the Instant Shakespeare Company. The company organizes annual readings of ALL of Shakespeare's plays around New York City using original Folio & Quarto texts.
The Instant Shakespeare Company started 8 years ago, in early 2001, at the Applause Book Store at 211 West 71st Street, just off of Broadway. Applause sadly closed it's doors in the summer of '05. The closing of Applause really started in 2000 when they lost part of their space and had to downsize (like everyone and everything else in '00-'01). To lessen the blow of the downsizing in '00 and to celebrate Applause's first printing of the original Folio & Quarto Shakespeare texts that same year, Paul Sugerman organized the first reading of all of Shakespeare's plays at Applause. These readings became an annual event, and th
For the past couple of months, threaded through my life of auditions, background work, and rehearsing for the Upside Down Mirror, I've been performing small parts in staged readings of Shakespeare with the Instant Shakespeare Company.

Did you guys get a chance to see "A Midsummer Night's Dream" last week? Remember how I mentioned that the show got cut down from 20 performances down to only 7 due to budget cuts? Click (here) for original post. Well I read some news yesterday that really IRKS me. Read the Globe article for yourself (here)The president and chief executive of the Citi Performing Arts Center received a $1.265 million dollar bonus on top of his $409K salary. Question: What was the budget for the full run of Shakespeare on the Common? Answer: About 960K. This got cut in half to about 480K leaving us the audience with only 7 shows to try to go to.I think you can see where I'm going with this. First of all, aren't bonuses only supposed to be paid out when you do a good job? Screwing us all out of 13 Shakespeare performances doesn't really seem like a good job to me. Secondly, how about just taking a "measly" 700K bonus, and NOT cutting the Shakespeare on the Common budget?This just goes to sh
Shakespeare in 'As You Like It' talked about toadstones in the following lines:Sweet the uses of adversity.Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,Wears yet a precious jewel in his head.Even in earlier literature toadstones have been mentioned and many myths have been woven around them. They find a mention in literature as early as the Roman writer Pliny the Elder. It is a stone that was worn as a charm and believed to have been formed in the body of a toad.

For those that make the annual trip to Boston Common during the summer to see a free performance of Shakespeare on the Common, be aware that the schedule has been chopped to about 1/3 this year due to budget cuts. Instead of the the usual 20 performances, there will only be 7. That's right SEVEN. The Boston Globe ran an article on this yesterday (here). So pack up the lawn chairs and beach blankets and head over to the Common this week. Otherwise, you'll miss your chance.This year, they're doing A Midsummer Night's Dream. I watched them rehearse briefly on Friday evening - It should be a great show. I have great respect for folks that can memorize and perform an entire play. Those are skills I just don't have. I can barely remember all the words to the songs on the radio. I'm hoping to go when I get back from my business trip late this week.Click (here) for the official website or see below for the schedule of performances.Tuesday, July 24 @ 8:00 p.m.Wednesday, July 25 @
