3. * The duty of feeding his family:
He published the poem Venus and Adonis, when
the Theatres were closed due to the plagues in 1593.
* Lucio Anneo Seneca:
He was a famous philosopher and writer. He wrote
Latin versions of Greek plays, and Latin versions of
stoic philosophy.
4. The women of Shakespeare are strong and outspoken, still ultimately yielding to
male power, but firm and cunning enough to outwit the opposite sex in the most
critical situations.
Examples:
* Hermia in the play A Midsummer night’s Dream: She stands up for her love
towards Lysander, not caring about what her father, Egeus or Theseus.
* From the play Romeo & Juliet, Juliet demonstrates that she will fight for wha t
she feels not caring the rivalries of the two families.
* Antigone , from the play Oedipus the King, shows how she is willing to sacrifice
her own life, and break the laws of a man to do what is right.
5. He was not afraid of what society thought of
him.
Examples:
* He showed in his plays how women were
strong, outspoken, and confident.
* He also was not afraid to show how men
were weak.
* He wasn’t afraid to show how to breaking
the rules to achieve your goals.
6. Yes he did he used everyday events around him in
his story for example:
London also had its problems. Preachers and
moralists were constantly denouncing the excessive
use of cosmetics. Thus, when Hamlet speaks out
against "your paintings," telling Ophelia that "God
hath given you one face, and you make yourselves
another," he would have been sounding a note
familiar to everyone in Shakespeare's audience
7. Many plays that Shakespeare wrote now are used in modern
time movies like:
one must also bear in mind the dozens of film and television
versions of the plays, and the countless adaptations, parodies,
and spinoffs that accent the repertory--from musicals such as
The Boys from Syracuse (based on The Comedy of Errors)
and West Side Story (Leonard Bernstein's New York ghetto
version of the gang wars in Romeo and Juliet), to political
lampoons like Macbird (contra LBJ) and Dick Deterred (the
doubly punning anti-Nixon polemic)
Many stories are changed from his and are used for our time
