Résumé

"To be, or not to be, that is the question."If you’ll only ever read one Shakespeare play, let it be Hamlet. It tells the story of the young Prince of Denmark whose father visits him in ghost form to reveal that it was Hamlet’s uncle who murdered him. Hamlet appears to succumb to madness. Being thoughtful by nature, he tests what the ghost has told him by setting up a play that portrays the circumstances around his father’s death to see if his uncle will give himself away.Hamlet is widely regarded as one of, if not the, greatest piece of literature ever written in the English language. No wonder actors such as Ethan Hawke, Jude Law and Jonathan Pryce have all lined of to play him. Read it for its beautiful language and angsty monologues.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. Regarded as the greatest playwright in the world and the greatestEnglish languagewriter, her wrote poems and sonnets, and also comedic, tragic and historical plays such as "Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear", "Much Ado About Nothing", "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Macbeth".

Auteur

  • William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He began his successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. His early plays were comedies and histories, considered some of the best in these genres. In 1623, a more definitive collection of his works known as the First Folio was published. Shakespeare was born to a successful glover and educated at the King's New School in Stratford. He married Anne Hathaway and had three children. Shakespeare's plays were performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, making him a wealthy man. He continued to act in his own plays and collaborated with other playwrights. Shakespeare's last three plays were collaborations, and he retired to Stratford before his death. His work has had a lasting impact on theatre and literature, and he is considered a genius and a classic of the German Weimar era. There have been doubts about the authorship of his works, but they are considered fringe theories.
