William Shakespeare strana 27 z 43

This famous play by William Shakespeare, written in about 1600, is one of the finest in the English language.( )Why does Hamlet, the young Prince of Denmark, look so sad? Why does he often say strange things? His family and friends are worried about him. Perhaps he is mad!( )But Hamlet thinks that he has discovered a terrible secret about a recent crime in his family. Now he has no time for Ophelia, the sweet girl who loves him, or his friends, who were at school with him. He sits alone, and thinks, and plans. What will he decide to do? Will he ever be happy again?

This is the most famous of all Shakespeare's plays - a story of passionate young love. What's in a name? Does it really matter if you are called Montague or Capulet? When Romeo, son of Lord and Lady Montague, falls in love with the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, he finds out that it does matter. It makes all the difference in the world, because both families hate each other bitterly. For a time, Romeo and Juliet manage to keep their love secret. But when Romeo is sent away from Verona, and arrangements are made for Juliet to marry Paris, a friend of her father's, hope begins to die. Can any of their friends help the young lovers to be together for ever?

A Szentivánéji álom, Shakespeare korai komédiája feltehetőleg 1594-1596 táján íródott. Valószínűleg egy főúri esküvő alkalmára készült, s - korabeli szokás szerint - a lakodalmi ünnepség során mutatták be, a darab előadása a mulatság része volt. Témája és cselekménye ehhez az alkalomhoz igazodik: szerelemről és házasságról szól, a szerelem útjában álló akadályok legyőzéséről, a viszálykodó szerelmesek megbékéléséről, a szerelmet korlátozó tilalmak és a beteljesülésre fenekedő veszélyek elhárításáról. A Szentivánéji álom régóta Shakespeare népszerű és sokat játszott darabjai közé tartozik. Nálunk Arany János fordításában játszották először 1864. április 23-án a Nemzeti Színházban.
