WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, página 42 de 167

Hamlet, la más famosa tragedia de Shakespeare, así como Romeo y Julieta, su exaltación genial del amor, no nos vinculan a seres de carne y hueso solamente, sino con personajes ejemplares por el vigor de su clase y por la significacion colosal de su admirable contextura.

OBRA COMPLETA DE WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE FONDO GENERAL CATALUNYA

El odio heredado y la violencia de una sociedad que reconoce la agresión como una forma de resguardar la honra labran el dramático destino de la más bella historia de amor de la literatura universal. Romeo y Julieta, victimas de la atavica rivalidad de sus familias, luchan por ver realizado su enlace; sin embargo, el sino tragico no da cabida a sus esfuerzos y, tras una serie de malentendidos y en medio de una sobrecogedora escena, los jovenes amantes ponen fin a sus vidas y con ello, aunque tardiamente, a la inutil confrontacion de sus parientes. Esta primera obra maestra del genio ingles William Shakespeare, llena de dramatismo y poesia, ha pasado a la historia como icono del amor imposible, y su fatal desenlace continua conmoviendo a los lectores de todo el mundo. Nueve años despues, fruto de una madurez literaria que seguiria llenandolo de honores, el dramaturgo estrena Otelo, obra que tambien se ha convertido en simbolo al reflejar la dolorosa y oscura pasion de los celos, y su devastadora accion sobre los hombres.

He fights with fire and outplays Katherina at her own game in a courtship that is tempestuous, passionate and reveals the true nature of both partners. In a vivacious comedy that blends the social with the personal Shakespeare gives us some dazzling verbal sparring to rival Much Ado About Nothing.
