J'ai un travail à faire sur la notion Mythes et Héros, voici ce que j'ai fait si vous pourriez me corriger merci ! Myths and heros Hello ! today I am going to deal with the following issue: Why is William Shakespeare still important today? Which fall into the notion Myths and heros. But what’s a myth ? A myth is a story about heros, it can be a popular belief or a tradition. A hero can be a mythological figure, a person who is admired for his achievements, a superhero or an icon. Today we are going to talk about Shakespeare who is an English poet, playwright and actor, born in 1564 and died in 1616, yet today he is still very well known. First of all, William Shakespeare is still famous today because he was, and still is, one of the best known writers in the English language. Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in England. He married Anne Hathaway at 18 and had children (Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died 11 years later). And then, Shakespeare moved to London and became a rather famous actor there. He also wrote poetry and invented new words like « assassination », or « bedroom ». He truly changed the way we speak English. Shakespeare is one of the most influential English-language writers and he is estimated to have contributed over 2,700 words to the language. His works consist of some 38 plays, 154 sonnets and several other poems (over 158 poems).Here's a phrase that Shakespeare is said to have invented, and it's commonly used today : "Break the ice" (The Taming of the Shrew)Often when you meet someone for the first time, you "break the ice" by asking them polite questions about themselves. Secondly, we've got Shakespeare's play Macbeth. Macbeth is a tragedy by William Shakespeare written in 1606. The character Macbeth reveals a truth about the human condition: be careful what you wish for, or, to put it another way, getting what you think you want doesn't necessarily bring happiness. The human condition is such that we tend to want what isn't good for us and to ignore what is good about what we already have. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were both deeply ambitious people. They both believed that being king and queen of Denmark would be wonderful. They wanted it so badly that they decided it was reasonable to kill an innocent king who had been good to them to achieve their aims. But as Macbeth quickly discovered, being king, especially in his circumstances, was not what he had expected. He was filled with constant fear and suspicion. He didn't enjoy ruling because he felt he paid too high a price, and he bitterly resented the prophecy that Banquo's descendants would be kings. He had Banquo, his close friend, murdered, as well as Lady Macduff and her children. Certainly, when the blood of others lies upon the hands of those of "vaulting ambition," they follow a path of murderous destiny that takes them from reality and leads them to madness. Finally, there are countless movies inspired by the works of Shakespeare. Despite his popular plays and literary works being hundreds of years old, William Shakespeare continues to influence modern culture. One of the most well known movies inspired by the works of Shakespeare is “10 Things I Hate About You.” It is based on “The Taming of The Shrew” . The movie uses many of the same names and even sneaks in a few Shakespearean quotes. To sum up, I think Shakespeare still importatn because he has a way of saying things that never been bettered and a way of getting to the nub of being a human being. Shakespeare not only had the most extensive vocabulary a playwright could boast of, he was also a creator of language, both in terms of lexicon and in terms of expressions, shortcuts or stylistic or rhetorical extensions. His plays are famous in many countries and people love them. Shakespeare's works are more flexible to work with and various nations of the world have been able to create adaptations that relate to their own history and cultural traditions. We have all heard about one of his plays such as Romeo and Juliette and sometimes we study it at school. Moreover actors such as David Tennant continue to make it alive. He is constantly being reinterpreted for every generation. He's a hero. Citer Lien vers le commentaire Partager sur d’autres sites More sharing options...
