TheIn this sentence, the author conveys the idea that authors rework Shakespeare in order to highlight a problem that has changed or continued from Shakespeare’s time to the author’s own time. By using a universal writer, authors who rework Shakespeare can connect to the readers more because they were already exposed to a similar work of literature. Shakespeare, having written countless amounts of plays, is very easy to “copy” from because of the many themes and genres that he has written about. Being a household name, it makes sense as to why many books, television shows, and movies have made references to Shakespeare. An example of a modern reworking of Shakespeare would be the movie Warm Bodies. The movie takes place in a dystopian world

Ann-Marie MacDonald’s Goodnight Desdemona (Good morningJuliet) uses intertextuality to unveil the complete Shakespearean characters of Juliet and Desdemona to reveal the feminist narrative lurking between lines of Shakespeare’s plays. Only through the intertextual re-examination of the Shakespearean text itself via the interjection of genre and the reassigning of dialogue, within the metatheatre, is the true feminist representation of the female Shakespearian characters unveiled from behind the patriarchal preconceptions. From this understanding we may read Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) to be true feminist reworking of Shakespeare. Therefore the metatheatre’s intertextuality reinforces and supports the traits of the feminine.
Campaign finance reform has a broad history in America. In particular, campaign finance has developed extensively in the past forty years, as the courts have attempted to create federal elections that best sustain the ideals of a representative democracy. In the most recent Supreme Court decision concerning campaign finance, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Court essentially decided to treat corporations like individuals by allowing corporations to spend money on federal elections through unlimited independent expenditures. In order to understand how the Supreme Court justified this decision, however, the history of campaign finance in regards to individuals must be examined. At the crux of these campaign finance laws
Shakespeare's Approach Toward Modern Societal Flaws Shakespeare’s As You Like It coveys many societal issues that the modern world continues to face. The play reveals these societal flaws and how they affected the life of those living in the Elizabethan Era. Throughout this play we are presented with the issues within dominants institutions such as political, cultural and sexual, problems- while looking at the Elizabethan Era, transcendentalism and Gender roles, that we deal with in the modern world both similarly or perhaps slightly different.
In addition to the contribution of establishing Shakespeare’s authorship, Pavier and Jaggard largely protected Shakespeare’s manuscripts and presented more authentic works of Shakespeare by referring widely to the resources they could get assessed. Their method of editing could be considered as “critical editing”, which aims to represent the author’s final intention by comparative analysis of multiple texts(Evenden, 2016, p.54-55). Most of the Folio text, according to Jowett(2007), involve a more complicated cross- fertilization, which means the Folio texts must have absorbed various copies of previous quartos and theatrical manuscript to include longer passages(p. 77). The more complicated work of the printers, the direct or indirect referring
The difference between the world of William Shakespeare to modern America is that the actors were often descriminated against and they were unlawfully treated as we learn from the article "Actors in Shakespeares day" that they were called vagabonds and punished by being arrested and/or imprisoned which was unlawful as no crime was committed. In the article "Not of an age but for all mankind" that the actors were only allowed to be men and there were no women allowed or there would be punishment. Theatres at that time were built with the only light source being from the sun and no lightbulbs or anything like that. This is different from the modern day in society because the source we have today is used by coal but can also be used by the
Many Elizabethan bedsides were haunted from “the terrors of the night”. Back then their ghosts were nothing like the pasty blobs we call ghosts now. Theirs were quite gruesome. Ghostly visitations were claimed to have been very unpleasant. Not only this, but they claimed it cast them into a state of spiritual confusion.
The Utopia of the future- something every human seemingly wants, but is it worth it to throw away everything for happiness and live in a world where only a few people can recall a man named Shakespeare? In Aldous Huxley's satirical novel, "Brave New World," this cellophaned world, polished and regulated to perfection, is a reality. In this Utopia, people like Bernard Marx, an intelligent and adverse Alpha, the highest class of humans, are conditioned to worship the Great Ford, to believe everything the Controllers say, to amuse themselves with sports, "feelies" and non-utilitarian relationships and, most of all, to take soma, a drug simulating happiness,
Shakespeare was known to be one of the most amazing minds of all time – but in fact, he was most likely a plagiarist. He apparently copied and swiped certain parts of plays, texts, and verses for his own work. For example, in 1599, William Shakespeare published a book of 21 poems all under his own name, but it has proven that only 5 of them were original and the others had all been stolen from other authors. Also, in Shakespeare’s play Antony and Cleopatra, he used Thomas North’s ‘Plutarch’ as a foundation for the entire play. North writes: “on either hand of her, pretty fair boys apparelled as painters do set forth god Cupid, with little fans in their hands with the which they fanned wind upon her,” Shakespeare writes: “On each side of her stood pretty dimpled boys, like smiling cupids, with diverse-coloured fans, whose wind did seem to glow the delicate cheeks which did cool.”
William Shakespeare is one of the world 's most influential people to ever live. “BBC audience survey names Shakespeare as Britain 's Man of the Millennium.” (Andrews 2) Shakespeare’s works continue to be evident globally in modern society. Hundreds of years after William Shakespeare’s death, his influence continues to make an effect in the modern day English language, modern movies and film, and authors or artists today.
Shakespeare’s influence is especially prevalent in media and entertainment. Recent films, for example, copy his unique plot lines. Renowned Broadway musical and movie West Side Story retells the story of Romeo and Juliet. West Side Story tells the tale of two lovers separated by family expectation’s and feuds, mirroring Romeo and Joliet. Popular films Macbeth and 0 copy the unique plot lines of Shakespeare’s famous play’s Macbeth, and Othello (Dyce) .
The citizens of ancient Greece were not ones without their own problems. States fought against one-another. Outside invaders would threaten the peace and comfort of ancient Greece. Although, times of crisis would happen on a grander scale, citizens would face problems in their daily life. National sporting’s and artistic competitions would be held.
Shakespeare writes about issues that are still relevant today because his themes are universal, his plays have been updated and remade and there are various schools of thought who argue about his plays. His universal themes of vaulting and corrupting ambition, a reliance on superstition and gender tell us that the play Macbeth explored themes that are still seen in today’s society. The updated and remade film versions of Macbeth (also known as The Tragedy of Macbeth) and Macbeth (BBC’s Shakespeare’s Retold Series) tell us that people still enjoy watching the issues in Macbeth. And the various schools of thought Psychoanalytical, Feminist, and Marxism tell us that people still
“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” When he said this, Jimmy Dean meant that nothing could hold him back from his goals, and that he would change to accomplish them. If our goal, or our “destination,” is to understand Shakespeare’s original texts, then a modernized version can hold the key to comprehending them. In addition, Shakespeare should be modernized because even in Shakespeare’s time, his texts were difficult to understand, the context is not the same as it was 400 years ago, and most importantly because it is the preference of many students and teachers to help them to understand the original.
William Shakespeare's Relevance Today For as long as formal education has existed in Britain it has been a largely standard assumption that teaching the works of William Shakespeare is relevant and necessary. Perhaps the relevance of his writing is taken for granted, perhaps it is necessary to re-examine the role of Shakespeare for the modern audience. There are indeed many people who question the relevance of this 440 year old playwright to a 21st century audience, taking it even as far as perhaps the greatest heresy of all, questioning the necessity of GCSE pupils learning Shakespeare at all. This “proposed vandalism from the policymakers” (Guardian 09/02/01) is opposed wholesale by supporters
