William Shakespeare

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire and was baptised on 26 April 1564. Thought to have been educated at the local grammar school, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he went on to have three children, at the age of eighteen, before moving to London to work in the theatre. Two erotic poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece were published in 1593 and 1594 and records of his plays begin to appear in 1594 for Richard III and the three parts of Henry VI. Shakespeare's tragic period lasted from around 1600 to 1608, during which period he wrote plays including Hamlet and Othello. The first editions of the sonnets were published in 1609 but evidence suggests that Shakespeare had been writing them for years for a private readership.
Shakespeare spent the last five years of his life in Stratford, by now a wealthy man. He died on 23 April 1616 and was buried in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford. The first collected edition of his works was published in 1623.

I was just reliving “O” level English as it has been well over fifty years since I studied this play. The story of the ambitious Macbeth and his heartless wife, spurred on by the machinations of the evil witches, is well known and still resonates today as we think of tyrants and warmongers who would murder their way to ultimate power. Macbeth is a cautionary tale, rich in language and symbolism.
This particular edition was amazing value for money but is purely the text of the play. If you want explanations, scene synopses or vocabulary this is not for you but I enjoyed the uncluttered layout and felt fifty years younger.

Well worth reading again.

Macbeth is well worth reading again. It is short and fast-paced and has so many memorable lines. This Foger ebook edition is ideal for reading Shakespeare on an e-reader. The edition also has better introductory essays than the typical Folger edition.

Evidentemente, Macbeth é um clássico e todo clássico deveria ser lido um dia. Talvez quem nunca tomou conhecimento sobre a obra tenha ao menos uma vaga noção de um rei, algumas bruxas, algum sangue, alguma batalha. Macbeth é uma história sobre ambição desmedida, sobre insanidade, violência e crueldade. O personagem Macbeth é o valente general do rei Duncan e se destaca nas batalhas recentes. Sua ambição é despertada por feiticeiras que o saúdam como futuro rei. Ao hospedar Duncan, Macbeth ainda tem dúvidas sobre o ato, porém, pressionado pela esposa, comete o regicídio. Daí em diante, Macbeth afunda em sangue. Parece buscar na quantidade de crimes uma forma de anestesiar o primeiro assassinato. Lady Macbeth, de início tão segura e determinada, é tomada pelo peso do crime, a visão e o cheiro do sangue a perseguem, e ela tira a própria vida. Depois de cometer diversos assassinatos para se manter no poder, Macbeth é derrotado pelas forças inglesas que apoiam o herdeiro legítimo do trono, o filho mais velho do rei Duncan.

O livro é excelente. As dúvidas iniciais de Macbeth acerca do crime, sua gradual transformação em sanguinário e sem limites, as visões e aparições que ambos, ele e sua esposa, presenciam, todo o sobrenatural da peça, tudo isso é marcante. As cenas em que as feiticeiras aparecem estão entre as melhores. Percebo nelas, além da maldade e da falsidade, uma alegria malévola e até infantil. É relevante observar que momentos cruciais da história, e da peça teatral, não são mostrados, ou seja, são apenas subentendidos e referidos depois pelos personagens: assim, o assassinato de Duncan por Macbeth, o momento em que Lady Macbeth vai ao quarto do rei assassinado deixar as adagas, o suicídio de Lady Macbeth. Observe-se, também, que é o fantasma de Banquo que assombra Macbeth, não o do rei Duncan. Na peça, não se esclarece a forma como Banquo dará origem a uma casa real, algo que foi previsto pelas feiticeiras, visto que Macbeth é derrotado e sucedido pelo herdeiro legítimo de Duncan.

Uma obra inesquecível, sombria, sanguinária e valiosa.
