Transcript William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Mine honor is my life;
both grow in one ;
Take honor from me,
and my life is done.
Нужнее жизни
добрая мне слава;
Ее отдав,
на жизнь утрачу право.
(1564 – 1616)
Let Us Look In Shakespeare
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.
Всем жалуй ухо, голос – лишь немногим.
(Hamlet 1600-1601)
Love is a spirit
all compact of fire,
Not gross to think, but light,
and will aspire.
Любовь взлетает в воздух, словно
пламя,
Она стремится слиться с
небесами.
(Venus and Adonis 1592)
The Place of Birth
William Shakespeare is one of the

Grammar School. William's father
wanted his son to be an educated
person.
Young William was fond of actor's
profession and decided to become
an actor.

Shottery. They had three
children.

Shakespeare worked as an
actor at the London theatre
The Globe. He began to write
plays. Most of his plays were
performed in The Globe
theatre.
All the world‘s a stage,
And all the men and women merely
players
They have their exits and their
entrances;
And one man in his time plays
many parts…
Весь мир театр,
В нем женщины, мужчины – все
актеры.
