My report is about a play Romeo and Juliet from William Shakespeare.
Biography
William Shakespeare is considered to be the greatest of all dramatists all over the world. He was born on 23rd April 1564 at Stratford upon Avon. He attended he local grammar school, in the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway and they had three children. 1592 Shakespeare came to London and joined a group of actors known as the Lord Chamberlain’s Man. Eight years later he bought his own theatre and named it the Globe Theatre, which was out door and actors played in the open air. His plays have been popular with Queen Elizabeth I, who loved music and drama. In those times Shakespeare made enough money to build a comfortable life. The strange thing is that he died on the same day as he was born in the age of 52. The legend says that he died after a loud and noisy birthday celebration with his friends. His plays were first published in 1623. He wrote sonnets and 37 plays, for example the taming of a shrew, Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, or a midsummer night’s dream.
Romeo and Juliet:
His play Romeo and Juliet is the best known tragedy all over the world. It is about the unhappy love and death. The main character are Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet the only children of two powerful houses of Verona. These two families hate each other. Romeo meets Juliet at the ball and fells in love with her although he knows she is Capulet. Juliet feels the same and next day they are secretly married. However, by unfortunate coincidence Romeo kills Tybalt, who is Juliet’s cousin. Prince of Verona sends Romeo to the exile and Juliet is forced to marry a young man called Paris. In desperation she seeks help in a medicine for sleeping, that will make her appear dead. Romeo hears that Juliet is dead and buys poison resolved to die by her side. He takes the poison but Juliet wakes up and when she sees that Romeo is dead, she kills herself with his sword. Both Montague and Capulet Houses make up only after death of their beloved children.
My opinion:
I like Shakespeare, mostly his comedies. But Romeo and Juliet is his best known tragedy and I like Shakespeare’s ideas in this play. Actually in all his plays. I respect him for his work and his share to world literature. But I thing he is not the best writer ever. He was he best one in his age and country, but before and from that time there were many excellent writers too.
