  3. Take a look at The List of Shakespearean Pronouns & Prepositions • Which Shakespearean pronouns can we add to the chart? Where do they belong?

  4. Wise Words from Billy Shakes: “If all the year were playing holidays,To sport would be as tedious as to work” • Henry IV, Part 1 (1.2.182-183) • What does this mean? • What does it MEAN? Reading Shakespeare is a skill! You will work to improve this skill!

  6. According to his notes…

  7. According to the pictures that we have from while he was alive…

  8. According to what he published while he was alive…

  9. Anything? He was born, married, and died.

  10. In Truth: • We know very little about William Shakespeare, mostly just stories and secondary sources • Baptized 1564, dead 1616 • He was an actor! • First Folio published in 1623 – included sonnets and plays • Sonnets – little (Italian) poems • His plays are (mostly) awesome!

  11. Why Shakespeare? • The beginning of the modern world • Deals with contemporary concerns • Intellectually challenging language and plots • Great opportunities to explore extreme points of view

  12. The beginning of the modern world • Shakespeare is NOT writing in old English! – He is writing in Early Modern English • A true Renaissance writer – rebirthof Greek tragedy (5th c. BCE) and Roman comedy (14th c.)

  13. Deals with contemporary concerns • Family issues • Emotional extremes • Social struggles • Morality Questions

  14. Intellectually challenging language and plots • Shakespeare’s plays have layers—figuring out his story is a puzzle! • This language may be difficult, but the reward is sweet. • Metaphor, allusion, and puns make him an exciting playwright

  15. Great opportunities to explore extreme points of view • These are EXTREME levels of emotion! • These characters love/hate with 110% of themselves

  16. “Sonnet 18” by William Shakespeare Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st. So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

  17. This is a mess! • BREAK IT DOWN! • What is the form of this sonnet?

  18. Shakespeare’s Poetry – The Elizabethan Sonnet • Short Renaissance poem with strict form IAMBIC PENTAMETER IAMB METER PENTA A pair of syllables: first unstressed, the other stressed: da-DUM From the Latin for FIVE (think pentagon) Language written in verse as opposed to paragraph (prose) form A line of verse with five iambs: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

  19. Other Helpful Sonnet Terms • Personification – giving human qualities to a non-human object • Volta – a change in subject or attitude, usually marked with a transition word like BUT, YET, or HOWEVER • Elision – shortening a word to make it fit the meter “O’er the ramparts we watched…”

  20. Sonnet Suggestions: • Look up any word that you do not know • Identify end punctuation (period, colon, semicolon, phrases offset by commas) to help separate • Translate into your own words – actors must do this!
