Year 8 English Project Shakespeare's World Year 8 English Project Shakespeare’s World About this booklet This booklet contains a number of different tasks to help you to explore the amazing world that Shakespeare created. You will learn about Shakespeare’s hilarious sense of humour and the darker side of his tragedies, including what his everyday life was like. If possible, you should aim to complete at least 3 hours of English a week. You may not complete all of the tasks in this booklet on the day specified, but don’t worry- the timings are a guide only and we all work at our own pace. In addition, don’t worry if this booklet takes you longer than 3 weeks as there are plenty of tasks to keep you occupied! All of the answers are in the back of the booklet, so you can check your work. There are also bonus exercises at the end for you to work on if you finish all of the other activities. 1 Week 1 Day 1: Who is Shakespeare? Shakespeare is one of England’s most famous writers. His plays are performed globally and have even been adapted into films. It’s important that we learn about him as he has shaped so much of the world that we live in, but who is he? Very little is known about William Shakespeare's childhood. He was born in the English city of Stratford-upon-Avon about 100 miles northwest of London in 1564. William's father was a successful leather merchant who once held the public position of alderman. He was the third of six children including two older sisters and three younger brothers. Growing up in Stratford-upon-Avon, William lived in a house with his big family on Henley Street. He went to the local grammar school where he learned about poetry, history, Greek, and Latin. When William turned eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. Anne was eight years older than William. They soon had a family including a daughter named Susanna and twins named Hamnet and Judith. After William and Anne had the twins, there are no records of the next several years of his life. Historians often refer to these years as the "lost years." There are lots of theories and stories about what William was doing during this time. In any event, he and his family eventually ended up in London where William was working at the theatre. William was part of an acting company called Lord Chamberlain's Men. An acting company in England at this time worked together to put on plays. There were typically around ten actors in a company including a lead actor, character actors, and some comedians. Young boys typically played women's roles as women were not allowed to act. Shakespeare wrote plays for the Lord Chamberlain's Men. He worked as an actor as well. His plays became very popular in London and soon the Lord Chamberlain's Men were one of the most popular acting companies in the city. Some of Shakespeare's early plays include The Taming of the Shrew, Richard III, Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. These early plays were put on at a theatre called the "Theatre". While Lord Chamberlain's Men owned the Theatre, the land was owned by Giles Allen. In 1597 Allen decided he wanted to tear the Theatre down. He locked it up and refused to let the actors perform. They tried to renegotiate the lease on the land, but Allen again refused. One night, several members of the company dismantled the Theatre and moved the timber across the Thames River to another spot. There they built a new theatre called the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre became the place to be in London. It could house up to 3,000 spectators and had a uniquely designed stage with a painted ceiling, columns, and stage wall. They had specially trained musicians who made special effects noises during the plays. They even had a cannon that fired blanks. Shakespeare also became famous for his poetry. His most famous poem of the time was Venus and Adonis. He also wrote poems called sonnets. A book of 154 of Shakespeare's sonnets was published in 1609. 2 William retired to his home in Stratford and died on his fifty-second birthday. Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest writer of the English language. He is also one of the most influential. Through his works, he is credited with introducing nearly 3,000 words to the English language. In addition, his works are the second most often quoted after the Bible.

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream – As a Romantic Comedy
    A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM – AS A ROMANTIC COMEDY DR. MANISH D. BHATT (M. A., M. Phil., B. Ed., Ph. D.) Assistant Professor, Department of English, Vijaynagar Arts College, Vijaynagar - 383460 Dist. S. K. (GJ) INDIA The thirty-seven Shakespearean plays consist of the greatest, the most varied and the perfect work ever done by any man in literature. Any work, however, beautiful, seems monotonous after Shakespeare. He was free from every theory. He accepted all of life, rejected nothing. He united the real and the ideal. He appealed to the most varied men to a rude worker as well as to a wit. Shakespeare’s drama is a great river of life and beauty. All who thirst for art or truth, comic or serious, ecstasy or satire, light or shade, can stoop to drink from its waters, and in their changing moods they will find a drop to quench their thirst. INTRODUCTION The Shakespearean comedy is basically a romantic comedy. Love pervades the entire Shakespearean comedy. The whole plot revolves around love. Several types of love are depicted is one single story making it veritably a rainbow world of love. All journeys end in lovers meeting and all love culminates in marriage. Love and marriage are two cardinal points which constituted the beginning and the end of a Shakespearean comedy. Vivacity, cheerfulness and sprightliness; music, mirth and merri-making permeate the Shakespearean comedy. Wit and humour are equitably interspersed scintillating the comedy with appropriate fun frolic. A comedy may be classical or romantic. A classical comedy is realistic. It does not allow a mixture of the light and the serious.

  • Rebecca Stanton 1. the Story of Pyramus and Thisbe Chosen by The
    1/27/2015 Blog Wow: View blog Rebecca Stanton A Midsummer Night's Dream, redux Oct 4, 2013 2:25 PM As we discussed in class on Thursday, while Shakespeare's play is both more light­ hearted and just plain "lighter" ­­ easier to digest ­­ than Spenser's deliberately MAGIC AND MODERNITY difficult, densely allegorical poem, A Midsummer Night's Dream nonetheless Official Course Blog shares certain background assumptions and even thematic concerns with The Faerie Queene. Similar vocabulary is used to talk about magic, love, dreams, visions ­­ as in The Faerie Queene, the inherent unreliability (and potential demonic origin?) of dreams and visions, and even of straightforward sensory data about the material world, is at issue. To put it another way, it's not just the "mind's eye" that is easily bamboozled ­­ our actual eyes are as well. What does Shakespeare's comedy have to say about empirical knowledge and human understanding? Where does magic play into all of this? Fairies, as we've seen in Spenser, are serious business ­­ not, as the historian Diane Purkiss suggests in the introduction to her superb At the Bottom of the Garden: A Dark History of Fairies, Hobgoblins, Nymphs, and Other Troublesome Things, merely "tiresome wingy thingies who are always good." Purkiss continues: "Actually, as we shall see, fairies are an invention that almost wholly lacks moral engagement. In stories about fairies, there are exceedingly strict rules of behaviour, but these apply not to the fairies but to human beings, and they exist for reasons of self­preservation,

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream
    Marin Shakespeare’s 2018 Teen Touring Company is proud to present A Midsummer Night’s Dream Directed by Jackson Currier Introduction to A Midsummer Night’s Dream “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is considered to be one of, if not the most, easily accessible plays in all of Shakespeare’s cannon. One exposure to the wonderfully rich and magical characters within the story and you can understand its popularity. Shakespeare’s plays are full of magic. If you visit Forest Meadows for the mainstage plays at Marin Shakespeare Company this summer, you’ll see examples of this. In "Hamlet," the title character is visited by the ghost of his father. "Pericles" tells of loss and redemption, and has a character brought back to life, and a goddess visitation who guides the hero to his lost love. Both plays are filled with supernatural phenomena and magical happenings. "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" is Shakespeare’s most magical play, and it is one of the most beautiful. While magic can be used for vengeance and malevolence, its function is much gentler in “Dream”, and much more comedic. In “Dream”, magic is used to make people fall in love. (And occasionally to turn people into donkeys!) The play, in turn, casts a spell on the audiences who watch it, leading them to fall in love with its hilarious characters, ingenious plot twists and its very happy ending. Things to look for in the play 1) Many people consider “Dream” to be Shakespeare’s greatest comedy ever. One main reason is the flawless intertwining of four plots: A Duke's wedding, four lovers in romantic entanglements, a war between the King and Queen of the Fairies, and amateur craftsmen rehearsing a play.

  • Constructing the Witch in Contemporary American Popular Culture
    "SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES": CONSTRUCTING THE WITCH IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Catherine Armetta Shufelt A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2007 Committee: Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor Dr. Andrew M. Schocket Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Donald McQuarie Dr. Esther Clinton © 2007 Catherine A. Shufelt All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor What is a Witch? Traditional mainstream media images of Witches tell us they are evil “devil worshipping baby killers,” green-skinned hags who fly on brooms, or flaky tree huggers who dance naked in the woods. A variety of mainstream media has worked to support these notions as well as develop new ones. Contemporary American popular culture shows us images of Witches on television shows and in films vanquishing demons, traveling back and forth in time and from one reality to another, speaking with dead relatives, and attending private schools, among other things. None of these mainstream images acknowledge the very real beliefs and traditions of modern Witches and Pagans, or speak to the depth and variety of social, cultural, political, and environmental work being undertaken by Pagan and Wiccan groups and individuals around the world. Utilizing social construction theory, this study examines the “historical process” of the construction of stereotypes surrounding Witches in mainstream American society as well as how groups and individuals who call themselves Pagan and/or Wiccan have utilized the only media technology available to them, the internet, to resist and re- construct these images in order to present more positive images of themselves as well as build community between and among Pagans and nonPagans.

  • Synopsis: a Midsummer Night's Dream
    SHAKESPEAREANCES.COM Synopsis: A Midsummer Night’s Dream The fairies create a lot of havoc—misapplying love potions, causing confusion among young lovers, turning a guy’s head into that of an ass, causing foul weather—but that’s nothing compared to the play a bunch of amateur thespians put on for the Duke of Athens’ marriage festivities. By William Shakespeare, written about 1596, first printed in a 1600 quarto Act I, Scene 1 Theseus, the Duke of Athens, has defeated the Amazons in a war but now intends to marry their queen, Hippolyta. The wed- ding is set for four days’ hence, and while he is eager to get on with the nuptials, she is showing much more patience. Into the scene comes Egeus with his daughter, Hermia, and two men, Lysander and Demetrius. Egeus wants Hermia to marry Demetrius, but she is in love with Ly- sander and refuses her father’s will. For this, Egeus wants his daughter executed under Athenian law. Theseus at least gives Hermia another option—become a virgin Nick Bottom (Max Casella, center) shows his fellow actors how he would play the lion in Theatre for a New Audience’s 2013 production of A Midsummer Night’s votary—but allows her three days to Dream. From left, Jacob Ming-Trent as Tom Snout, Zachary Infante as Francis choose whether to marry Demetrius, enter Flute, Brendan Averett as Snug, and William Youmans as Robin Starveling. Photo the sisterhood, or die. Left alone (really?), by Gerry Goodstein, Theatre for a New Audience. Lysander and Hermia complain about the not-so-smooth-course of true love and then brained scheme of telling Demetrius about Hermia’s determine to flee Athens, meet in the woods, and flight so that he would more appreciate Helena— run off to his aunt’s home where they can marry.

  • The Charge of the Goddess
    The Charge of the Goddess: A Wiccan Ethic It has been my experience that many people get involved in Wicca because they like the lack of rules. We don’t have a lot of “Thou shalt nots.” All we have is the Witch’si Rede, they say. But there are many unspoken rules of ethics that we think of as being essentially “Wiccan.” Why? Where do they come from? The answer should be self-evident but often isn’t. What is the one piece of liturgy that Wiccans really have? The answer is the Charge of the Goddess. Most modern Wiccans treat this prose as a lovely way to invoke the Goddess. It does work well that way. But consider the original meaning of the word “charge”. It is a command, a responsibility laid upon someone, an exhortation, a duty, an injunction, or being entrusted with someone’s care. It is a series of rules! In order to illustrate this, and illustrate how this piece of liturgy defines our Wiccan ethics, the remainder of this article will be concerned with breaking down the Charge into its component elements and paraphrasing them in a less poetic fashion. I will present both Doreen Valiente’s version and Starhawk’s version, since both are utilized among different Wiccan traditions. Though there are other versions, these are the most commonly known. There are also some slight differences (some elements present in one version may not be present in the other,) and so these differences need to be addressed as well. Valiente: Listen to the words of the Great Mother; she who of old was also called among men Artemis, Astarte, Athene, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Cybele, Arianrhod, Isis, Dana, Bride and by many other names: Starhawk: Listen to the words of the Great Mother, Who of old was called Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Diana, Arionrhod, Brigid, and by many other names: The Goddess says, first and foremost, “Listen!” I don’t believe that this is merely a poetic way of beginning the script.

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream
    EXPLORING IMAGINATION IN DARK TIMES Eight Painted Masks inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream SUMMER SOLSTICE I feel growing excitement as summer solstice - June 21 - approaches and my mind turns to nature and fantasy, and especially a play written by William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The play, which premiered on January 1, 1605, is set in midsummer in Athens. Shakespeare lived all his life in the shadow of the bubonic plague, writing prolifically during outbreaks and quarantine lockdowns in London and Stratford-on-Avon. MAKING MASKS OF IMAGINARY FAIRIES My project – painting odd alien paper masks - explores my need for vicarious pleasure in imagination. I am making masks of imaginary fairies from Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. These are freakish but cathartic. I begin with Titania’s fairy assistants, Peaseblossom, Cobweb, Mustardseed, and Moth, flowers and creatures from the garden or field, tiny and magical in imagination; in reality, complex, interconnected and amazing. COMPLETING EIGHT FAIRIES After the four fairies are complete, I am still thinking about the fairy characters. First, I make Fairy. Then I make contrasting King Oberon and Queen Titania to express their fraught relationship and the extreme dichotomies of jealous rage and peaceful gratitude. I complete the set with Puck, who enlivens the plot with his maddening pranks. The Stratford Festival’s 2021 paired down “pandemic” version of the play uses 8 actors to perform all the many human and fairy characters. PEASEBLOSSOM My imagination identifies with these fantastical creatures – my name Oonagh is that of an Irish fairy goddess and it is fun to imagine what a fairy’s life might be as compared to my life as a lawyer.
