“William Shakespeare-immortal poet of nature”

(Уильям Шекспир-бессмертный поэт природы)

My mistress’s 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 damask, 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 well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

Ее глаза на звезды не похожи,

Нельзя уста кораллами назвать,

Не Белоснежка плеч открытых кожа,

И черной проволокой вьется прядь.

С дамской розой, алой или белой,

Нельзя сравнить оттенок этих щек.

А тело пахнет так, как пахнет тело,

Не как фиалки нежный лепесток.

Ты не найдешь в ней совершенных линий,

Особенно света на челе.

Не знаю я, как шествуют богини,

Но милая ступает по земле.

И все ж она уступит там едва ли,

Кого в сравненьях пышных оболгали

Перевод С.Я.Маршака

Pupil 1        The name of William Shakespeare is known all over the world. The last half of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th centuries are known as the Golden Age of English Renaissance. Sometimes they are called “The Age of Shakespeare”.

People often call Shakespeare “Our national Bard”, “The Immortal Poet of Nature”. We really know few facts of his life and many often of them are doubtful. But some facts are known to us and are proved by documents.

Pupil 2        England’s greatest poet and dramatist, William Shakespeare, was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564, the exact day of his birth is unknown. His father, John Shakespeare, was a glover and a dealer in wool and other farm products. He was a respected figure in Stratford. In his childhood William went to the Stratford Grammar School. The Strafford school was a difficult place at that time. The pupils had to be at school at six in the morning in warm seasons and an hour later in winter. School- days were long, and only in the holidays could William Shakespeare have a real rest. H e went to the woods and to the river Avon.

Pupil 3        At that time there were no theatres in England. Groups of actors traveled from town to town and played in different places, usually out- of –doors. Sometimes actors came to Stratford. Young William went to see all their shows and liked them very much. He wanted to become an actor. Sometimes he wrote little plays himself and staged with his friends .Life in Stratford-on Avon was hard.

Pupil 4        Shakespeare was earning his own living by the time he was 18. He was not yet 19 when he married Anne Hathaway. They had three children – Susanna, Judith and Hamlet were twins. It was difficult for Shakespeare to keep such a large family. So in 1585 he left Stratford for London in the hope of making money there. He was a little older than twenty when he came to the capital of London .In London he joined a group of actors. Shakespeare appeared in London as an actor and a writer of plays. As an actor Shakespeare played on its stage and wrote most of his plays for the theatre. It was famous Globe Theatre

Pupil5        Now I shall tell you what the theatre of the 16-th- century was like.

The famous Globe Theatre was the centre of London’s theatrical life.

In the middle there was a kind of house. There the actors dressed and kept the things which were used in the performance. In front of it there was a platform. This platform, together with the balcony over it, was the stage on which the actors played. They came out of the house to the stage through two large doors.

Pupil 6        In front of the stage was a large yard. Round the yard there were three balconies, one over the other. Both these balconies and the yard were for the people who came to see the performance. The yard and the greater part of the stage were open to the sky.

Pupil 7        The actors were often very good. Women’s parts were played by the boys or young men. An actor often played two or three parts in the performance. Music was very important.

The performance began at 3”clock. From its beginning till it was over, people could see a flag over the theatre. The people of London loved their theatre very much. Everybody went to the theatre in London-young and rich, rich and poor. Those who could not pay much for the tickets stood in the yard. If they were tired, they could sit on the ground. Rich men and their wives sat in the balconies and the aristocrats were allowed to sit on the stage.

Pupil 8        People had no newspapers, no radio or television on those days. That is why the theatre played a great part in their lives. The performance gave them a great enjoyment, but they came to the theatre not only for pleasure. They came to hear the news, to learn something of the history of England or of some other country. They were taught the great science of life there.

Pupil 9        Shakespeare started writing plays for the theatre, soon after he began working there, and wrote new plays almost every year between 1590 and 1613. Shakespeare watched the new life and he showed how differently people understand it. Life itself was shown in his plays. .His tragedies and comedies were a success almost from the very beginning. Shakespeare wrote some of his plays about early kings of England. Henry v and Richard III are two of these plays. They helped the English people to understand the history of their own country.

Pupil 10        Besides his historical plays Shakespeare wrote both comedies and tragedies. “Romeo and Juliet” is one of the most famous of his tragedies. The tragedy “Romeo and Juliet” was written during the first period Shakespeare’s creative work, when most of his comedies appeared. The play is full of love, youth and humanism. In spite of the fact that the hero and heroine die, their ideal of free and happy love remains. It is known that “Romeo and Juliet” was based on a real story of lovers who lived in Verona, Italy, and died for each other in the year 1303.  By the way, at that time the Capulet and Montagues were among the inhabitants of the town.

Pupil 11        Other tragedies were:” Hamlet”,” Macbeth” “Othello”. These were the great tragedies, written during the second period of Shakespeare’s creative work, which became the peak of the author’s achievement and made him truly immoral. The problems raised in these tragedies still produce a powerful impression on our emotions and on our intellect.

(From “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”)

To be or not to be, that is the question:

Wheter `tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune:

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing, end them? To die, to sleep –

No more, and, by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh in heir to; `tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish`d. To die, to sleep –

To sleep, perchance to dream…

Быть или не быть – таков вопрос;

Что благородней думам – покоряться

Пращам и стрелам яростной судьбы

Иль, ополчусь на море смут, сразить их

Противоборством? Умереть, уснуть –

И только, и сказать, что сном кончаешь

Тоску и тысячу природных мук,

Наследье плоти, - как такой развязки

Не жаждать? Умереть, уснуть. – Уснуть!

Pupils 12        Among his comedies were: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Taming of the Shrew, and The Merchant of Venice. Shakespeare's plays, such as “Hamlet” and “Romeo and Juliet”, are among the most famous literary works of the world. Now these comedies and plays are known all over the world and are played by the actors of all the countries, because Shakespeare’s works are admired by the greatest minds of the world. He became famous not only in London but all over the world. Shakespeare’s name and talent wouldn’t be forgotten.

Pupil 13        Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now;
Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,
Join with the spite of fortune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an after-loss:
Ah, do not, when my heart hath ‘scaped this sorrow,
Come in the rearward of a conquer’d woe;
Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,
To linger out a purposed overthrow.
If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,
When other petty griefs have done their spite,
But in the onset come; so shall I taste
At first the very worst of fortune’s might,
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,
Compared with loss of three will not seem so.

Уж если ты разлюбишь, – так теперь,
Теперь, когда весь мир со мной в раздоре.
Будь самой горькой из моих потерь,
Но только не последней каплей горя!
И если скорбь дано мне превозмочь,
Не наноси удара из засады.
Пусть бурная не разрешится ночь
Дождливым утром – утром без отрады.
Оставь меня, но не в последний миг,
Когда от мелких бед я ослабею.
Оставь сейчас, чтоб сразу я постиг,
Что это горе всех невзгод больнее,
Что нет невзгод, а есть одна беда –
Твоей любви лишиться навсегда.

Pupil14        At the height of his success, in 1612, he decided to return and to live in. Stratford

Since that time he didn’t act any more and since 1613 he no longer wrote the plays. Nobody knows what Shakespeare did during the last years of his life. Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616, and he was buried in this church in Stratford. Thousands of people visit his birthplace and grave each year. A monument was erected to the memory of the great playwright in Westminster Abbey. On Shakespeare's gravestone there are four lines of verse. It is not certain that the Bard of Avon wrote the famous epitaph:

“Good friend, for Jesus´ sake forbeare

To dig the dust enclosed here!

 Blest be ye man that spares thes stones

 And curst be he that moues my bones”

Youth and age.

Crabbed Age and Youth

Cannot live together:

Youth is full of pleasance,

Age is full of care;

Youth like summer morn,

Age like winter weather;

Youth like summer brave,

Age like winter bare.

Youth is full of sport,

Age’s breath is short;

Youth is nimble, Age is lame;

Youth is hot and bold;

Age is weak and cold;

Youth is wild and Age is tame.

Youth, I adore thee
