Résumé
"Divinité de l'enfer! Quand les démons veulent produire les forfaits les plus noirs, ils les présentent d'abord sous des dehors célestes, comme je fais en ce moment. [...] C'est ainsi que je changerai sa vertu en glu, et que de sa bonté je ferai le filet qui les enserrera tous..." Tels les mots que le perfide Iago se murmure à lui-même, ces tragédies de Shakespeare sont une plongée dans le mal absolu. Trois destins brisés d'hommes autrefois grandioses, trois histoires lamentables au cœur de la folie et de l'effroi. Jamais la jalousie ne fut mieux étudiée que celle du Maure vénitien Othello, jamais le désespoir d'un père n'eut de visage plus navrant que celui du roi Lear, jamais l'ambition criminelle ne fut tant gorgée d'horreurs que celle de Macbeth.

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.
