He married Mary Arden in 1556 and at that time they were living in a comfortable house in Henley Street, William's birthplace.
4) You can see the modest room where he was born with the dark furniture and small windows. Their cottage and the furniture are reconstruction but so good that you forget things aren't really old.
5) William married at the age of 18 Anna Hathaway. She was 6 years older and she was the farmer's daughter.
6) They had three children: a daughter Susanna and twins: Hamlet and Judith.
7) William Shakespeare moved to London soon after his marriage, he joined the company of actors and was acting in his own plays . At that time he wrote Romeo and Juliet.

Teacher:Thank you.

Сразу после презентаций исполняется монолог Гамлета.

Ps: Hamlet's monologue

1.To be or not to be? That is the question – The question is: is it better to be alive or dead?

Быть или не быть,
Вот в чем вопрос!
Что благороднее: сносить ли гром и стрелы
Враждующей судьбы, или восстать
На море бед и кончить их борьбою?
Окончить жизнь – уснуть,
Не более! И знать, что этот сон....
Окончит грусть и тысячи ударов, –
Удел живых. Такой конец достоин
Желаний жарких. Умереть? Уснуть?
2.Но если сон виденья посетят?
Что за мечты на мертвый сон слетят,
Когда стряхнем мы суету земную?
Вот что дальнейший заграждает путь!
Вот отчего беда так долговечна!
Кто снес бы бич и посмеянье века,
Бессилье прав, тиранов притесненье,
Обиды гордого, забытую любовь,
3.Презренных душ презрение к заслугам,
Когда бы мог нас подарить покоем...

Oдин удар? Кто нес бы бремя жизни,
Кто гнулся бы под тяжестью трудов?
Да, только страх чего-то после смерти –
Страна безвестная, откуда путник
Не возвращался к нам, - смущает волю,
И мы скорей снесем земное горе,
Чем убежим к безвестности за гробом.

Teacher:And now we a part from Othello: (исполняется сценка):

Диалог между Отелло и Дездемоной  

D:  Who's there? Othello?
О:  Yes, Desdemona.
D: Will you come to bed, my lord?
O: Have you prayed tonight, Desdemonа?
D: Yes, my lord, what may you mean by that?
O: Think of your sins.
D: But what's the mater?
O: That handkerchief which I so loved and gave you, You gave to Casio.
D: No. Send for the man and ask him.
O: I wouldn't kill you unprepared spirit. I say, amen.
D: I Never loved Casio, I never gave him handkerchief.
O: I saw my handkerchief in his hand. О bad woman! You broke my heart.
D: He found it then. I never gave it him. Send for him here. Let him say a truth.
O: He is dead.
D: But kill me not! Kill me tomorrow: let me live tonight!
O: It is too late...

Teacher:Thanks. It was great. I think  you liked it very much. Shakespeare is famous for his sonnets. Can anybody recite any of his sonnets? (ученики   читают  сонеты Шекспира на русском языке)

Сонеты:

1.

Когда в старинных рукописях вдруг…
Встречаю песни трубадуров страстных,
Я слышу в них стихов чудесный звук
Во славу рыцарей и дам прекрасных,
Но вижу я, что, красоту любя, –
Чело, уста, и очи, и ланиты –
Хотело их перо воспеть тебя,
В ком это все так нераздельно слито.
Да, наши дни пророчил их напев,
Провидело тебя поэтов чувство…

2.

Бесчестен я, к тебе любовь питая;
Меня любя, бесчестна ты вдвойне,
Быть верною обеты нарушая
И на вражду сменив любовь ко мне.
Но мне ль судить тебя за прегрешенья?
Я сам грешил не два, а двадцать раз.
Поклялся я раскрыть твое паденье
И клятву эту преступил тотчас.
Я клялся столько раз, что ты прекрасна,
Что нет любви сильнее и нежней!
Я ослеплял глаза свои всечасно,
Не видеть чтоб порочности твоей.
Я клялся: чище ты и лучше всех,
И эта ложь – мой самый тяжкий грех

Teacher:(учитель и подводит итоги).
