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 dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st 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. Sonnets are always 14 lines. Shakespeare’s Language : Shakespeare’s Language Shakespeare did NOT write in “Old English.” Old English is the language of Beowulf: Hwaet! We Gardena in geardagum Þeodcyninga Þrym gefrunon Hu ða æÞelingas ellen fremedon! (Hey! We have heard of the glory of the Spear-Danes in the old days, the kings of tribes, how noble princes showed great courage!) Shakespeare’s Language : Shakespeare’s Language Shakespeare did not write in “Middle English.” Middle English is the language of Chaucer, the Gawain-poet, and Malory: We redeth oft and findeth y-write— And this clerkes wele it wite— Layes that ben in harping Ben y-founde of ferli thing… (Sir Orfeo) Shakespeare’s Language : Shakespeare’s Language Shakespeare wrote in “Early Modern English.” EME was not very different from “Modern English,” except that it had some old holdovers.

Slide 23: Theatrical Conventions of Shakespeare's Theatre Audience loves to be scared. Soliloquy Aside Types of speech Blood and gore Use of supernatural Slide 24: Theatrical Conventions of Shakespeare's Theatre Use of disguises/ mistaken identity Multiple marriages (in comedies) Multiple murders (in tragedies) Last speaker—highest in rank (in tragedies) Slide 25: Also may have been known as “The Jew of Venice” Right up there with “Hamlet” and “Othello.” Considered a comedy, but is it really? The Merchant of Venice Questions you should ask… : Questions you should ask… How do the other characters treat Shylock? Is this treatment warranted? How does Shylock treat the other characters?
