Сюита из музыки к комедии Шекспира «Сон в летнюю ночь»

Творчество Шекспира составляет целую эпоху в развитии мировой драматургии.
Творческий путь Шекспира подразделяется на 3 периода:
1-й период – комедии, исторические хроники, сонеты.
2-й период – трагедии.
3-й период – пьесы, действия которых перенесено в необыденную, иногда сказочную обстановку.

The Globe Theatre.
William Shakespeare wrote most of his plays for the Globe Theatre.
In those days in the 16th and 17th centuries people had neither radio nor a newspaper, that’s why the theatre played an important part their lives.
In those days the people of London, young and old, rich and poor, loved the Globe Theatre very much. The poor people could not pay much for the tickets and they stood or sat on the ground in the yard. Rich people and their wives sat on the balconies and aristocrats were allowed to sit on the stage.

У всех Шекспировских сонетов есть одна важная черта. Сонета – драматизм, с острым конфликтом, который, как правило, разрешается в двух последних строках сонетов афористическими изречениями.

Вопрос жизнелюбия решает Гамлет в монологе «Быть или не быть». Замыслившего умереть останавливает неизвестность за гробом, думает Гамлет.
1) А то кто снес бы ложное величье
Правителей, невежество вельмож,
Всеобщее притворство, невозможность
Излить себя, несчастную любовь
И призрачность заслуг в глазах ничтожеств…?
Б.Пастернак
В.Бенедиктов(XIX):
2) Хотел бы умереть, но друга моего
Мне в этом мире жаль оставить одного.
С.Маршак:
3) Все мерзостно, что вижу я вокруг
Но как тебя покинуть, милый друг!
Н.Гоголь:
4) Не жить, не видеть, сжечь бы все мосты,
Да пропади все пропадом! Но ты…
В.Орел:
5) Устал – но как мне выпустить из рук
Ту жизнь, в которой остается друг!
