Listening

                                                 Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was the greatest writer in the English language. He was bom in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of eighteen he married Anne Hathaway, who was eight years older that himself. A few years later he moved to London, where he worked as an actor and a playwright.

Shakespeare wrote thirty-seven plays and 154 sonnets (a kind of poem). His most famous plays are the four great tragedies — Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet, and King Lear. He also wrote several historical plays. Eight of these plays were about English kings, including Richard II, Hen­ry V and Richard III. Others dealt with Roman history and included Julius Caesar and Anthony and Cleopatra. But not all of Shakespeare's plays were serious. He also wrote comedies, such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth Night.

Shakespeare died in Stratford on 23 April 1616, but his plays are still very popular today. They have been translated into several different lan­guages, ar.c many of them have been made into films, bath in English and other languages. Shakespeare's plays are about the great issues of life-love, hatred, jealousy, power, ambition, death and so or.. So. his plays are just as relevant today as they  were  in  the sixteenth century. To show tr em directors sometimes do the

plays in mo:. . and one of Shakespeare's

plays has ever, been turned into a modern musi­cal. His romantic tragedy. Romeo and Juliet, was the basis for the musical W est Side Story.

Teacher:  We know that Shakespeare wrote in English but his works are translated into many languages. I want you to name the countries where the people can read Shakespeare's works and show them on the map: Ukraine, Finland, Russia, Estonia, France, Denmark, Georgia, Poland, Romania, Austria, Spain, Norway, Italy, Latvia, Sweden, and Greece. (Translate the names if the students need.)

Teacher:  Let's read Shakespeare's poem.

                        Sonnet  91

Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,

Some in their wealth, some in their body's force;

Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill;

Some in their hawks and hands, some in their horse

And every human hath his adjunct pleasure,

Wherein it finds a joy above the rest:

 

All these I better in one general best.

The love is better than the high birth to me,

Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,

Of more delight than hawks and horses be.

And having thee, of all men's pride  I boast.

Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take

All this away and me most wretched make.

                        Sonnet  66

Tired with all these, for restful death I cry;

As, to behold desert a beggar born,

And needy nothing trimmed in jollity,

And purest faith unhappily forsworn,

And gilded honour shamefully misplaced,

And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,

And right perfection wrongfully disgraced,

And art made tongue-tied by authority,

And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill,

And simple truth miscalled simplicity,

And captive good attending captain ill:

Tired with all these, from these would I begone

Save that, to die, I leave my love alone.

                        Sonnet  90

Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now.

Now, while the world is bent my deeds to cross,

Join with the spite of Fortune, make me bow,

And do not drop in for an after-loss.

Ah, do not, when my heart hath scaped this sorrow.

Come in the rearward of a conquered woe;

Give not a windy night a rainy morrow,

To linger out a purposed overthrow.

If thou wilt leave me, do not leave me last,

When other petty grieves have done their spite,

But in the onset come: so shall I taste

At first the very worst of Fortune's might;

And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,

Compared with toss of thee will not seem so.

                        Sonnet  88

When thou shalt be disposed to set me light

And place my merit in the eye of scorn,

Upon thy side against myself I'll fight

And prove thee virtuous, though thou art forsworn.

With mine own weakness being best acquainted,

Upon thy part I can set down a story

Of faults conceal'd, wherein I am attainted,

That thou in losing me shalt win much glory:

And I by this will be a gainer too;

For bending all my loving thoughts on thee,

The injuries that to myself I do,

Doing thee vantage, double-vantage me.

Such is my love, to thee I so belong,

That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.

                        Sonnet  138       

When my love swears that she is made of truth,

I do believe her, though I know she lies,

That she might think me some untutored youth,

Unlearned is the world's false subtleties.

Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,

Although she knows my days are past the best,

Simple I credit her false — speaking tongue:

On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed.

But wherefore say not I that I am old?

Oh, love's best habit is in seeming trust,

And age in love loves not to have years told.

Therefore I lie with her and she with me,

And in our faults by lies we flattered be.

Teacher:  What  is  the   main   idea  of   all   Shakespeare’s   works?

Pupil:   They   are  about   love.

Speaking.

Teacher:In our lesson we have mentioned two plays by William Shakespeare: "Romeo and Juliet" and "King Lear". Now speak about the plays. Two students will compare them. I'll put the ques­tion to both of them; speak about the work you have chosen: What are they about? What are the main heroes? What is the main idea? What is good in the play? What is bad in the play? What kind of love is described in it? What countries do the people live in your play?

 Teacher:  Now   let’s   play  a  part   of   “ Romeo   and   Juliet.

Juliet. Romeo!

Romeo. My dear!

Juliet. At what o'clock tomorrow shall I send to thee?

Romeo. At hour of nine.

Juliet. I will not fail; 'tis twenty years till then. I have forgot why did I call thee back.

Romeo. Let me stand here till thou remember it.

Juliet. I shall forget, to have thee still stand there, remembering how I love my company.

Romeo. And I'll still stay, to have thee still forget, forgetting any other home but this.

Juliet

Tis almost morning;

I would gave thee gone; and yet no further than a wanton's bird

Who lets it hope a little from her hand

Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gives,

And with a silk thread plucks it back again,

So loving-jealous of his liberty.

Romeo. I would I were thy bird.

Juliet

Sweet, so would I:

Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.

Good-night, good-night parting

                                        in such sweet sorrow

That I shall say good-night till it be morrow.

Romeo

Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!

Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest!

Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell,

His help to crave, and my dear hap to tell.
