Shakespeare''s Sonnets have caused endless debate and speculation: who is the dark lady, who is the ''only begetter' and what light do the poems shed on the life of the poet? Yet the sonnets themselves can be enjoyed for their lyricism rather than their intention. Written as a form of personal confession - of love, of grief, of anger, of jealousy and of lust - the sonnets encompass a huge range of human emotion beautifully expressed within the restrictions of the form. Some, such as ''Shall I compare thee to a summer''s day'' or ''Let me not to the marriage of true minds'' will be instantly familiar to readers, while others, equally rich in imagery, are less well known. Together they form a powerful meditation on the nature of love, marriage, beauty and time.

En los inicios de su carrera como dramaturgo, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) compuso su obra más alegre y desenfadada, El sueño de una noche de verano (1594). Mitología, costumbrismo cómico, bromas, equivocos, humor y poesia conviven dentro de ella en una zarabanda magica ambientada en la noche pagana de San Juan, en la que todo es posible, si bien al final, frente al caos, se imponen el orden y la armonia. Esta alocada fantasia de amor esta, como no puede ser de otra manera, teñida de elementos inconscientes y oniricos, y de entre la galeria de personajes que la pueblan, Oberon y el duendecillo Puck han alcanzado fortuna en la memoria de los hombres.

Numa Verona lendária, duas famílias poderosas, os Montéquios e os Capuletos, juram ódio eterno. Romeu Montéquio e Julieta Capuleto cruzam-se num baile de máscaras.

Ela é forçada a casar. Sós, numa cidade cega de violência e de interesse, os dois jovens só vêem a verdade do seu amor. E a sua verdade é eterna.

The Rape of Lucrece by William Shakespeare (1594) is a narrative poem by William Shakespeare about the legendary Roman noblewoman Lucretia. In his previous narrative poem, Venus and Adonis (1593), Shakespeare had included a dedicatory letter to his patron, the Earl of Southampton, in which he promised to compose a "graver labour".Accordingly, The Rape of Lucrece has a serious tone throughout.The poem begins with a prose dedication addressed directly to the Earl of Southampton, which begins, "The love I dedicate to your Lordship is without end." It refers to the poem as a pamphlet, which describes the form of its original publication of 1594.The dedication is followed by "The Argument", a prose paragraph that summarizes the historical context of the poem, which begins in medias res.The poem contains 1,855 lines, divided into 265 stanzas of seven lines each. The meter of each line is iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme for each stanza is ABABBCC, a format known as "rhyme royal", which has been used by Geoffrey Chaucer, John Milton and John Masefield.

The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1592. The play begins with a framing device, often referred to as the induction,[a] in which a mischievous nobleman tricks a drunken tinker named Christopher Sly into believing he is actually a nobleman himself. The nobleman then has the play performed for Slys diversion.The main plot depicts the courtship of Petruchio and Katherina, the headstrong, obdurate shrew. Initially, Katherina is an unwilling participant in the relationship; however, Petruchio "tames" her with various psychological and physical torments, such as keeping her from eating and drinking, until she becomes a desirable, compliant, and obedient bride.The subplot features a competition between the suitors of Katherinas younger sister, Bianca, who is seen as the "ideal" woman. The question of whether the play is misogynistic has become the subject of considerable controversy, particularly among modern scholars, audiences, and readers.The Taming of the Shrew has been adapted numerous times for stage, screen, opera, ballet, and musical theatre; perhaps the most famous adaptations being Cole Porters Kiss Me, Kate; McLintock!, a 1963 American Western comedy film, starring John Wayne and Maureen OHara; and the 1967 film of the play, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The 1999 high-school comedy film 10 Things I Hate About You, and the 2003 romantic comedy Deliver Us from Eva are also loosely based on the play.

On critiquera sans doute, dans cette pièce, le peu de liaison des scènes entre elles, défaut qui tient à la difficulté de rassembler une succession rapide et variée dévènements dans un même tableau;
