Imaginative Knowledge in Shakespeare and Yeats. In the works of William Shakespeare and W. B. Yeats, the concept on intuitive knowledge gained through imagination is sharply contrasted with that of knowledge gleaned from experience coupled with inductive/deductive reason. In both writers, the inspired figure - frequently the mad figure, is shown as having an understanding of the world which cannot be substantiated by argumentation. This thesis attempts to explore the intimations of imaginative knowledge as projected in the concepts of imagination, prophecy, delusion, spirit, love, rage and passion, and the similarities and differences of these elements in the characters of Shakespeare and Y…

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet may be one of the most-screened plays of all time. The most notable theatrical releases were George Cukor's multi-Oscar-nominated 1936 production Romeo and Juliet, Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film Romeo and Juliet, and Baz Luhrmann's 1996 MTV-inspired Romeo + Juliet. The latter two were both, at the time, the highest-grossing Shakespeare films. Cukor featured the mature actors Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard as the teenage lovers while Zeffirelli populated his film with beautiful young people, and Baz Luhrmann produced a heavily cut fast-paced version aimed at teenage audiences. Several reworkings of the story have also been filmed, most notably West Side…

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, often shortened to Romeo and Juliet, is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare about the romance between two young Italians from feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed. The title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers. Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. The plot is based on an Italian tale written by Matteo Bandello, translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562, and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1567. Shakesp…

"To be, or not to be" is a monologue given by Prince Hamlet in the so-called "nunnery scene" of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet (Act 3, Scene 1). The monologue is named for its incipit, itself among the most widely known and quoted lines in modern English literature, and has been referenced in many works of theatre, literature and music. In the monologue, traditional critical interpretation posits that Hamlet contemplates death and suicide, weighing the pain and unfairness of life against the alternative, which might be worse. It is not clear that Hamlet is thinking of his own situation since the speech is entirely in an abstract, somewhat academic register that accords with Hamlet's stat…
