Выходит к доске учитель , приветствует учащихся, с помощью учащихся формулирует тему и цели урока.

Teacher: Good morning, dear students! Today we are going to speak about one of the greatest English writers William Shakespeare, his life and creative work.

Выходит ученик и читает стихотворение Джона Мильтона

What needs my Shakespear for his honour'd Bones,

The labour of an age in piled Stones,

Or that his hallow'd reliques should be hid

Under a Star-ypointing Pyramid?

Dear son of memory, great heir of Fame,

What need'st thou such weak witnes of thy name?

Thou in our wonder and astonishment

Hast built thy self a live-long Monument.

For whilst to th' shame of slow-endeavouring art,

Thy easie numbers flow, and that each heart

Hath from the leaves of thy unvalu'd Book,

Those Delphick lines with deep impression took,

Then thou our fancy of it self bereaving,

Dost make us Marble with too much conceaving;

And so Sepulcher'd in such pomp dost lie,

That Kings for such a Tomb would wish to die.

Другой ученик переводит его на русский язык

Нуждается ль, покинув этот мир,

В труде каменотесов мой Шекспир,

Чтоб в пирамиде, к звездам обращенной,

Таился прах, веками освященный?

Наследник славы, для грядущих дней

Не просишь ты свидетельства камней.

Ты памятник у каждого из нас

Воздвиг в душе, которую потряс.

К позору нерадивого искусства,

Твои стихи текут, волнуя чувства.

И в памяти у нас из книг твоих

Оттиснут навсегда дельфийский стих.

Воображенье наше до конца

Пленив и в мрамор превратив сердца,

Ты в них покоишься. Все короли

Такую честь бы жизни предпочли!

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Shakespeare is the greatest of all playwrights and poets of all times. The last half of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th centuries are known as the golden age of English literature. Sometimes it is called “the age of Shakespeare”.

William Shakespeare was born on the 23rd of April 1564, in Stratford-on-Avon. At the age of 6 he was sent to school, but had to leave it at the age of 13 and never went to school again. His father who couldn’t even write was a glove-maker. William helped him in his trade.

At the age of 18, he married Anne Hatheway. Ann was 8 years older than her husband and their marriage wasn’t happy. They had 3 children.

At that time actors and actresses visited Stratford-on-Avon. William liked to watch them. He was fond of their profession and he decided to become an actor. When he was 21 he went to London. There he became an actor. He began to write plays too. He worked in the modern theatre “Globe”. 14 years later he became a part owner of the Globe theatre in London.

In 1596 he wrote “Romeo and Juliet”.

In 1601 he wrote “Hamlet”

The original Globe was opened in 1599, burned down in 1613 and immediately rebuilt. It was a round building with the stage in the centre, open to the sky. If it was raining, the actors got wet; if the weather was too bad, there was no performance at all. It was closed in 1642.

In 1997 after almost 400years Shakespeare’s Globe was opened again for public. Every summer it offers now performance of plays by Shakespeare.

Shakespeare’s experience as an actor helped him greatly in the writing of his plays. His knowledge of stage and his poetical genius made his plays the most wonderful ones ever written.

Shakespeare wrote:

37 plays;

17 comedies,

10 historical plays

7 books of poems.

2 long poems and 154 sonnets.

Most of Shakespeare’s plays were not published in his lifetime. So some of them may have been lost in the fire when the “Globe” burned down in 1613. It is interesting to note that almost all plots of Shakespeare’s plays were not original. He took them from the works of other authors. At that time the audience was rather ignorant and the playwrights tried to attract it to the world literature through their plays. Shakespeare took his plots from history, old legends, novels and poems; he also used Plutarch’s “Historical Portraits”. The plot of “Othello” and “Twelfth Night” was taken from Italian novels and those of “Hamlet” and “King Lear” - from early English authors. But every borrowed plot began to live a new life in his plays.

Shakespeare also wrote 2 long poems and 154 sonnets. They show his extraordinary powers of expression and his depth of emotional understanding.
