Group 5 : Shakespeare Drama
History of Shakespeare
Parents – John Shakespeare and Mary Arden
Shakespeare was born on April 26, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Died on April 23, 1616
At the age of 18, he got married to Anne
Hathway in 1582
He had three children; the eldest being Sussan and twins Hamnet and Judith.
He wrote sonnets, 38 plays and two
narratives.
Genres of his plays
It is
not easy to categorically say whether a Shakespeare play is a tragedy, comedy or history because the Shakespeare blurred the boundaries between
these genres. For example, Much Ado About Nothing begins like a comedy, but soon descends into tragedy –
leading some critics to describe the play as a tragi-comedy.
Tragicomedy is a literary
genre that blends aspects of both tragic and comic forms. Most often seen in dramatic literature, the term can variously
describe either a tragic play which contains enough comic elements to lighten
the overall mood or, often, a serious play with a happy ending
Shakespeare's
tragicomedy plays are sometimes refered to as a Romance, a Tragedy and a Comedy.
The List of Shakespeare Tragicomedies includes Hamlet, Pericles, Prince of Tyre
, Cymbelline, The Winter's, The Tempest ,Othello, Macbeth and Lear presumably, Condell and Heminges grouped Cymbeline with
the tragedies and The Winter's Tale and The Tempest with
the comedies because they felt that tragic elements predominated in the former
and comic elements in the latter.
Due to the fact that romances combine both tragic
and comic elements, Fletcher called them "tragi-comedies" (a
term which he coined in the preface to The Faithful Shepherdess,
1608; According
to Fletcher, a tragi-comedy "wants deaths, which is enough to make it no
tragedy, yet brings some near it, which is enough to make it no comedy."
Like comedy,
romance includes a love-intrigue and culminates in a happy ending. Like tragedy,
romance has a serious
plot-line (betrayals,
tyrants, usurpers of thrones) and treats serious
themes; it is darker in
tone (more serious) than
comedy. While emphasizes
evil, and comedy minimizes
it, romance acknowledges evil -- the reality of human suffering.
1) In
the early eighteenth century, the critics most loyal to what
Pope calls "the model of the Ancients" * have lamented Shakespeare's
lack of taste in inserting comedy in his tragedies.
2)They
admire Shakespeare's genius, they acknowledge that the comic
passages "wou'd be good anywhere else,"and they are forced
to admit that, in the words of Nicholas Rowe (1709), "the generality
of our audiences seem to be better pleased with it [tragi-comedy]
than with exact tragedy." But, says Rowe,"the
severer Critiques among us cannot bear it."
3) "Grief and Laughter,"
wrote Charles Gildon (1710) "are so very incompatible
that to join these two . . . wou'd be monstrous . .
And
yet this Absurdity ... is what our Shakespear himself
has frequently been guilty of..
