4 Comprehension Check: Shakespeare s Theater Directions: Based upon the article Shakespeare s Theater, answer the following questions on a separate piece of paper using complete sentences. 1. Why do some readers find Shakespeare s writing difficult to understand? Explain. How do you feel about Shakespeare s language? Why? 2. What would you suggest that a reader do to better prepare himself for Shakespeare s writing to make it more understandable, and therefore, more enjoyable? 3. What does the word ephemeral mean in paragraph one? Why might this quality of drama make a play more difficult to read than a novel would be? 4. What kind of people would you expect to see in a theater (one in which live drama is performed) today? Are the people you imagine different from the people Shakespeare would have expected? How? 5. What are some conveniences that theaters have today that someone in Shakespeare s time could probably never imagine? 6. How are today s actors or celebrities similar to the actors of Shakespeare s time? How are they different? 7. Briefly explain the four types of drama. How are these types of drama different from what we might expect? 2010 Secondary Solutions LLC Romeo and Juliet Literature Guide
5 Shakespeare s Style The Sonnet Form and Iambic Pentameter Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets in addition to his plays. In fact, he even added sonnets into his plays. Most of his sonnets were related to the topic of love, and were often written in a sequel-like fashion. Before we dive into reading an entire play, we will be approaching Shakespeare s style in a smaller poem, called a sonnet. The word sonnet comes from the Italian word sonnetto, meaning little song. The Shakespearean sonnet almost always follows the same format. It has 14 lines with approximately 10 syllables each line. Each line of the sonnet is written in iambic pentameter. The prefix pent means five. A line of iambic pentameter consists of 10 syllables, or five iambs of two syllables each. An iamb is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. When written, the U symbols mean unstressed, and the / indicates a stressed syllable. To understand the idea of a stressed or an unstressed syllable, think about the syllables of some common names. The name Christopher can be divided into three syllables: Chris/to/pher. If we place the stress, or the emphasis, on the Chris it would look like this: / U U Chris / to / pher If we place the emphasis on the to the name would sound odd to our ears, and look like this: U / U Chris / to / pher When analyzing a line of Shakespeare s work, it would look like this: U / U / U / U / U / Let me not to the mar riage of true minds (from Sonnet 116) Finally, Shakespearean sonnets always follow the same rhyme scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG, ending with the rhyming couplet, or two rhyming lines. Now that the technical terms have been introduced, it is time to put that knowledge to work in a practical activity. Directions: Read the sonnet on the next page. This sonnet is one of the most famous of Shakespeare s sonnets: Sonnet 23. Read and analyze this sonnet, paying careful attention to the rhyme scheme and the pattern of syllables. Then, using the chart, divide the sonnet into syllables and label its rhyme scheme. The first line has been done for you Secondary Solutions LLC Romeo and Juliet Literature Guide
6 Shakespeare s Style The Sonnet Form and Iambic Pentameter 1 As an imperfect actor on the stage 2 Who with his fear is put beside his part, 3 Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, 4 Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart. 5 So I, for fear of trust, forget to say 6 The perfect ceremony of love's rite, 7 And in mine own love's strength seem to decay, 8 O ercharged with burden of mine own love's might. 9 O, let my books be then the eloquence 10 And dumb presages of my speaking breast, 11 Who plead for love and look for recompense 12 More than that tongue that more hath more express'd. 13 O, learn to read what silent love hath writ: 14 To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit As an im per fect ac tor on the stage A Rhyme Scheme part rage B A Now You Try It! Using the rhyme scheme and form of a Shakespearean sonnet, write your own sonnet about new love, lost love, a beautiful day, a terrible day, or anything you wish! Draw the same grid as above on a separate piece of paper to plan and organize the sonnet. Then share it with the class for an exercise in public speaking and performance Secondary Solutions LLC Romeo and Juliet Literature Guide
