  • Background Notes
    Background Notes William Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare: A brief biography • Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon, England to an upper/ middle class family. Shakespeare: A brief biography • He learned Latin and Greek history in his grammar school as a child. This would explain the Latin and Greek references in his works. • There is not evidence that Shakespeare continued his schooling after elementary school. Shakespeare: A Brief Biography In 1582 at the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway who was 26. She was pregnant before they were married. Shakespeare: A Brief Biography • After a few years of marriage, Shakespeare left Stratford-on-Avon and his family for London to pursue his career in acting and writing. Shakespeare: A Brief Biography • Shakespeare wrote and acted with The Lord Chamberlain’s Men. This was an acting troupe that would perform during Shakespeare’s time. Shakespeare: A Brief Biography • It is believed that Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616. • In his will, Shakespeare left his daughters the majority of his wealth and possessions. He left his wife his “second best bed”. Shakespeare: A Brief Biography • The inscription on his tomb states: "Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare, To dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed be the man that spares these stones, And cursed be he that moves my bones.” Shakespeare wrote this because in his time, old bodies were dug up and burned to make room for new burials. Shakespeare despised this treatment of bodies, so he wrote this. Romeo and Juliet and Elizabethan Theater • Shakespeare did not create the story of Romeo and Juliet.

  • Romeo & Juliet Act 4 Summary
    Romeo & Juliet Act 4 Summary from Sparknotes.com SCENE i In his cell, Friar Lawrence speaks with Paris about the latter’s impending marriage to Juliet. Paris says that Juliet’s grief about Tybalt’s death has made her unbalanced, and that Capulet, in his wisdom, has determined they should marry soon so that Juliet can stop crying and put an end to her period of mourning. The friar remarks to himself that he wishes he were unaware of the reason that Paris’s marriage to Juliet should be delayed. Juliet enters, and Paris speaks to her lovingly, if somewhat arrogantly. Juliet responds indifferently, showing neither affection nor dislike. She remarks that she has not married him yet. On the pretense that he must hear Juliet’s confession, Friar Lawrence ushers Paris away, though not before Paris kisses Juliet once. After Paris leaves, Juliet asks Friar Lawrence for help, brandishing a knife and saying that she will kill herself rather than marry Paris. The friar proposes a plan: Juliet must consent to marry Paris; then, on the night before the wedding, she must drink a sleeping potion that will make her appear to be dead; she will be laid to rest in the Capulet tomb, and the friar will send word to Romeo in Mantua to help him retrieve her when she wakes up. She will then return to Mantua with Romeo, and be free to live with him away from their parents’ hatred. Juliet consents to the plan wholeheartedly. Friar Lawrence gives her the sleeping potion. SCENCE ii Juliet returns home, where she finds Capulet and Lady Capulet preparing for the wedding.

ISSN (Online) 2620-066X ▪ https://doi.org/10.32591/coas.ojsh.0101.02009k _________________________________________________________________________ Influence of Roman History on Shakespeare’s Works Ioanna-Soultana Kotsori University of Peloponnese, Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies, Kalamata Kyriakos Manolis1 National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, School of Philosophy Received 29 June 2018 ▪ Revised 10 July 2018 ▪ Accepted 18 July 2018 Abstract Shakespeare is one of the greatest English writer, whose works have been translated into most languages of the world. He wrote most of his works between 1589 and 1613, during the Renaissance. Shakespeare’s influence came from the classical and the Roman world, especially from the theatrical tradition. It was also influenced by the Latin writers and borrowed a lot of them. Shakespeare’s works relate to Roman history and are associated with the Latin poets, but also with the Greek historians and Socratic philosophers. The Roman elements govern the work of Shakespeare. Indeed, blood and violence are typical of Roman works, as is the struggle of clans and citizens of ancient Rome. In Shakespeare’ s era, the palace intrigue was not lacking, while the theater was popular as a political manipulation of the masses. Keywords: Roman history, Roman figures, Renaissance, tragedies, Roman drama, Latin authors. 1. Introduction Shakespeare was an English poet but also a playwright. Indeed, he is considered to be the greatest writer in the English language and one of the most important dramaturgists in the world (Wells, 1997: 399).
