Twelve Emily Dickinson Bookmarks Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a romantic comedy by William Shakespearebelieved to have been written around — as a Twelfth Night's entertainment for the close of the Christmas season. The play Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks on the twins Viola and Sebastianwho are separated in a shipwreck. Viola who is disguised as Cesario falls in love with Duke Orsino, who in turn is in love with Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man. The play expanded on the musical interludes and riotous disorder expected of the occasion, [1] with plot elements drawn from the short story "Of Apollonius and Silla" by Barnabe Richbased on a story by Matteo Bandello. The first recorded public performance was on 2 Februaryat Candlemasthe formal end of Christmastide in the year's calendar. The play was not published until its inclusion in the First Folio. Viola is shipwrecked on the coast of Illyria and she Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks ashore with the help of a Captain. She has lost contact with her twin brother, Sebastian, whom she believes to be drowned, and Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks the aid of the Captain, she disguises herself as a young man under the name Cesario and enters the service Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks Duke Orsino. Duke Orsino has convinced himself that he is in love with Olivia, who is mourning the recent deaths of her father and brother. She refuses to see entertainments, be in the company of men, or accept love or marriage proposals from anyone, the Duke included, until seven years have passed. Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks Orsino then uses 'Cesario' as an intermediary to profess his passionate love before Olivia. Olivia, however, falls in love with 'Cesario', setting her at odds with her professed duty. In the comic subplot, several characters conspire to make Olivia's pompous steward, Malvolio, believe that Olivia has fallen for him. Sir Toby and Sir Andrew engage themselves in drinking and revelry, thus disturbing the peace of Olivia's household until late into the night, prompting Malvolio to chastise them. Sir Toby famously retorts, "Dost thou think, because thou Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale? They convince Malvolio that Olivia is secretly in love with him by Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks a love letter, written by Maria in Olivia's handwriting. It asks Malvolio to wear yellow stockings cross-gartered—a colour and fashion that Olivia actually hates—to be rude to the rest of the servants, and to smile constantly in the presence of Olivia. Malvolio finds the letter and reacts in surprised delight. He starts acting out the contents of the Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks to show Olivia his positive response. Olivia is shocked by the changes in Malvolio and agreeing that he seems mad, leaves him to be cared for by his tormentors. Pretending that Malvolio is insane, they lock him up in a dark chamber. Feste visits him to mock his insanity, both disguised as a priest and as himself. Meanwhile, Viola's twin, Sebastian, has been rescued by Antonio, a sea captain who previously fought against Orsino, yet who accompanies Sebastian to Illyria, despite the danger, because of his admiration for Sebastian. Sebastian's appearance adds the confusion of mistaken identities to the comedy. Taking Sebastian for 'Cesario', Olivia asks him to marry her, and they are secretly married in a church. Finally, when 'Cesario' and Sebastian appear in the presence of both Olivia and Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks, there is more wonder and confusion at their physical similarity. At this point, Viola reveals her identity and is reunited with her twin brother. The play ends in a declaration of marriage between Duke Orsino and Viola, and it is learned that Sir Toby has married Maria. Malvolio swears revenge on his tormentors and stalks off, but Orsino sends Fabian to placate him. Illyriathe exotic setting of Twelfth Nightis important to the play's romantic atmosphere. Illyria was an ancient region of the Western Balkans whose coast Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea which is the only part of ancient Illyria which is relevant to the play covered from north to south the coasts of modern-day SloveniaCroatiaBosnia and HerzegovinaMontenegroand Albania. It included the city-state Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks the Republic of Ragusa which has been proposed as the setting. Illyria may have been suggested by the Roman comedy Menaechmithe plot of which also involves twins who are mistaken for each other. The names of most of the Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks are Italian but some of the comic characters have English names. It has been noted that the play's setting also has other English allusions such as Viola's Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks of "Westward ho! The play is believed to have drawn extensively on the Italian production Gl'ingannati or The Deceived Ones[4] collectively written by the Accademia degli Intronati in Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks It is conjectured that the name of its male lead, Orsino, was suggested by Virginio Orsini, Duke of Braccianoan Italian nobleman who visited London in the winter of to Another Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks story, "Of Apollonius and Silla", appeared in Barnabe Riche 's collection, Riche his Farewell to Militarie Profession conteining verie pleasaunt discourses fit for a peaceable tymewhich in turn is derived from a story by Matteo Bandello. It was originally a Catholic holiday and therefore, like other Christian feast days, an occasion for revelry. Servants often dressed up as their masters, men as women and so forth. This history of festive ritual and Carnivalesque reversal, based on the ancient Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks festival of Saturnalia at the same time of year characterized by drunken revelry and inversion of the social Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks masters became slaves for a day, and vice versais the cultural origin of the play's gender confusion-driven plot. The actual Elizabethan festival of Twelfth Night would involve the antics of a Lord of Misrulewho before leaving his temporary position of Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks, would call for entertainment, Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks and mummery ; the Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks has been regarded as preserving this festive and traditional atmosphere of licensed disorder. Subtitles for plays were fashionable in the Elizabethan eraand though Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks editors place The Merchant of Venice ' s alternative title, The Jew of Veniceas a subtitle, this is the only Shakespearean play to bear one when Twelve Shakespeare Bookmarks published. The play was probably finished between anda period suggested by the play's referencing of events that happened during that time.

  • Historical Context Elizabethantheatres
    Historical Context The first Elizabethan playhouse was an open air theatre built in 1567 by James Burbage called “The Theatre”. After it’s success other playhouses were built : in 1577 “The Courtain”, in 1587 “The Rose”, and in 1595 “The Swan”. In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain’s Man rebuilt “The Globe” which became the most important centre of performances. Elizabethan Theatres Performances took place during the afternoon and were acted only by man and boys. The audiences were made by all sorts of people, reach and poor who had stand on the ground, theatres were designed as large wooden structures, circular or octagonal in shape, with three tiers of galleries surrounding a yard open to the sky. The stage was roofed and was very high, and there were railings between the yard and the lower gallery. There was no scenery and the audience had to image the scene by listening to the language of the actors. There was no courtain and no intervals, so they were very quick. The platform stage was pushed out into the audience who stood around in three sides. This create assends of close intimacy between actors and audiences. Context Romeo and Juliet is one of the most famous plays written by William Shakespeare (1564-1616). When it first appeared on the stage probably in 1595 it was a very popular tale in Elizabethan times, and many versions were available. The sources of the play are Arthur Brooke’s poem “The Tragical Historye of Romeus and Juliet” (1562) which was a translation from the French Matteo Bandello’s novella “Romeo e Giulietta” (1554).

  • Shakespeare Trivia Anthology Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare Project (CASP) Shakespeare Learning Commons
    1 Shakespeare Trivia Anthology Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare Project (CASP) Shakespeare Learning Commons FACT 1. Shakespeare is thought to have been born on April 23, 1564 and to have died the same day 52 years later. 2. During his lifetime, John Shakespeare (William’s father) did all of these jobs: glove maker, wool-dealer, moneylender, constable, chamberlain, alderman, bailiff, and justice of the peace. 3. Many of Shakespeare’s early sonnets are likely to have been written to another man: Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of Southampton. 4. In his will, Shakespeare left his wife Anne Hathaway his “second best bed with the furniture.” Second-best bed was not as bad as it sounds because the best bed was reserved for guests. 5. The open-air theatres that Shakespeare’s plays were first performed in were designed in the same style as the bear-baiting gardens (circular buildings with an open roof and a pit in the centre for the bear or the theatre audience). 6. A Google search for “Shakespeare” returns over 119 million hits. That’s more than Michael Jackson (42 million), Avril Lavigne (29 million) and Tiger Woods (21 million) combined. 7. Shakespeare invented over 1700 commonly used words in English (like “madcap,” “obscene,” “puking,” “outbreak,” “watchdog,” “addiction,” “cold-blooded,” “secure,” and “torture”). 8. Shakespeare’s plays have a vocabulary of some 17,000 words, four times what a well-educated English speaker would have. Shakespeare used 29,066 different words out of 884,647 words in all. 9. Shakespeare was so skilled with words that he used 7000 words only once––more than occur in the whole of the King James Bible.

Shakespeare’s Much Ado about Nothing (c.1598) and Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi (c. 1613) are two plays in which Matteo Bandello’s portrayal of evil agents in his novellas exert a constant, even if not immediately obvious, influence. Remote from each other chronologically and generically, Shakespeare’s comedy and Webster’s tragedy make common use of a distinctive character-type, which has an equivalent in the Bandello source: the melancholy, embittered, and vindictive outsider known at the time, as well as by modern critics, as the malcontent (Nigri, The Origin of Malcontent). Comparing how and to what purpose each dramatist duplicated, altered or expanded the figures he found in the source story provides an insight into his way of working and informs our understanding of the plays.

  • William Shakespeare Twelfth Night
    CC – 2 Unit - IV William Shakespeare Twelfth Night Prepared By: Dr. Md Naushad Alam Assistant Professor MMHAPU 1 William Shakespeare William Shakespeare was a renowned English poet, playwright, and actor born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. His birthday is most commonly celebrated on 23 April, which is also believed to be the date he died in 1616. Shakespeare was a prolific writer during the Elizabethan and Jacobean ages of British theatre (sometimes called the English Renaissance or the Early Modern Period). Shakespeare’s plays are perhaps his most enduring legacy, but they are not all he wrote. Shakespeare’s poems also remain popular to this day. Records survive relating to William Shakespeare’s family that offer an understanding of the context of Shakespeare's early life and the lives of his family members. John Shakespeare married Mary Arden, and together they had eight children. John and Mary lost two daughters as infants, so William became their eldest child. John Shakespeare worked as a glove-maker, but he also became an important figure in the town of Stratford by fulfilling civic positions. His elevated status meant that he was even more likely to have sent his children, including William, to the local grammar school. William Shakespeare would have lived with his family in their house on Henley Street until he turned eighteen. When he was eighteen, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, who was twenty- six. It was a rushed marriage because Anne was already pregnant at the time of the ceremony. Together they had three children. Their first daughter, Susanna, was born six months after the wedding and was 2 later followed by twins Hamnet and Judith.

  • Twelfth Night
    Plays and Pinot: Twelfth Night Synopsis Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1601–1602 as a Twelfth Night's entertainment for the close of the Christmas season. The play centres on the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as Cesario) falls in love with Duke Orsino, who in turn is in love with Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man. The play expanded on the musical interludes and riotous disorder expected of the occasion, with plot elements drawn from the short story "Of Apollonius and Silla" by Barnabe Rich, based on a story by Matteo Bandello. The first recorded public performance was on 2 February 1602, at Candlemas, the formal end of Christmastide in the year's calendar. The play was not published until its inclusion in the 1623 First Folio. About the Playwright William Shakespeare (also spelled Shakspere) was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon and died April 23 1616. He was an English poet, dramatist, and actor often called the English national poet and considered by many to be the greatest dramatist of all time. Shakespeare occupies a position unique in world literature. Other poets, such as Homer and Dante, and novelists, such as Leo Tolstoy and Charles Dickens, have transcended national barriers, but no writer’s living reputation can compare to that of Shakespeare, whose plays, written in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for a small repertory theatre, are now performed and read more often and in more countries than ever before.
