to shake – трясти

a spear-спис

It means “the man shaking with the spear”. And we can say that W. Shakespeare has shaken the whole mankind with his works. So, let’s try to answer to one of our main question of the lesson “Who was William Shakespeare?”

T: Pre-Listening activities.

There is problem vocabulary:

To marry — одружуватися

Childhood— дитинство

Stratford – on- Avon — назва міста

Occupy - займати

Playwright — драматург

Sonnet — сонет (вид поезії)

destroy — руйнувати

P 1(slides 1,2): He was born on April 23, 1564 in the town of Stratford-on-Avon. His father was a glove-maker. His mother was a farmer's daughter. William was the eldest son in the family of eight children. In his childhood William went to the grammar school. He finished his studies at the age of 13 and never went to school again.

At the age of 18 he married and had three children. Then he left for London. He began to write his poems and plays at that time.

T: But I know that some of you have learnt short pieces of poems. Would you like to recite it?

Reciting poem by William Shakespeare

P 2(slides 3,4): To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

P 3(slides 5-7): In 1597 he bought the largest house in Stratford. There appeared a list of his plays and sonnets.

Reciting sonnets by William Shakespeare

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks; 
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare. 

Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare

P 4(slides8-10): Since 1593 he began to work for the theatre company of the Lord Chamberlain’s Servants. In 1599 the theatre company built and occupied the best known of Elizabethan theatres — the Globe. Shakespeare became the playwright to the company and was also an actor.

His sonnets first appeared in 1609. During the last years of his life he wrote less and less. After the fire had destroyed the Globe during the performance of Henry VIII he retired to Stratford and stopped writing altogether. He died on April 23, 1616.

The new Globe Theatre opened in London in 1997, which looks the same as the one in which Shakespeare worked. The people on the main floor stand in front of the stage, just as the people did in Shakespeare's time. There is a Shakespeare museum in Stratford-on- Avon.
