These skills are perhaps best encapsulated in the monologues he gives his various protagonists, villains and bit players. From the murderous Lady Macbeth, planning to assassinate the king to advance her husband's...

Description
El mercader de Venecia es una de las obras más famosas de Shakespeare, sobre todo por el personaje del judío Shylock, trazado con robustez y veracidad, y que ha movido siempre a los grandes actores a representarlo. Esta comedia de finales del siglo XVI, además de gozar de plena vigencia por los temas que aborda Shakespeare en ella (amor, amistad, codicia del dinero), es muy rica en su estructura al estar construida a base de juegos entrelazados....

Description
Sueño de una noche de verano quizás sea una de las primeras comedias de Shakespeare. Se cree que data de 1595 o 1596 y es calificada como su primera obra de madurez. Esta comedia es toda ella la creación de un mundo mágico, desde la primera línea hasta la última, a pesar de que el autor nos hace un guiño pretendiendo que veamos un mundo real y otro mágico, paralelo, cuando lo cierto es que, si bien hay dos realidades, ambas son mágicas, pues...

Description
These two great poems date from Shakespeare's early years and are full of passion and invention. In Venus and Adonis, the goddess of love pleads with the beautiful boy to submit to her advances and become her love – but he only wants to hunt boar. In the more serious Rape of Lucrece, Shakespeare draws on the Roman take of the Emperor Tarquin's desire for Lucrece and its tragic consequences.
