The soul of Hamlet and his father described by Johann Heinrich Füssli was written in about 1780- 1785.
Language is usually gorgeous. Shakespeare's earliest plays were written in the general style of the time. He writes in standard language, which often cannot be released naturally according to the needs of the role and plot. Poetry depends on unfolding, sometimes containing elaborate metaphors and ingenious ideas, and the language is usually gorgeous, which is suitable for actors to read aloud rather than speak. According to some critics,
Titus Antelo Knicks
Serious speeches often hinder the plot;
Two gentlemen in verona.
His lines were criticized as artificial and unnatural.
Write in more natural words.
Shakespeare soon turned from the traditional style to his own characteristics.
Richard
The opening monologue shaped the evil characters in medieval drama. At the same time, Richard's vivid monologue full of self-awareness continues the monologue in Shakespeare's mature plays. No single script marks the transition from traditional style to free style. Shakespeare combined these two styles in his whole creative career.
Romeo and Juliet
May be the best interpretation of this mixed style. By the mid-1990 s, Romeo and Juliet, Richard II and
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Meanwhile, Shakespeare began to write in a more natural language. He gradually turned his metaphors and symbols into the needs of plot development.
The usual form of poetry is blank poetry.
Shakespeare's common poetic form is blank verse combined with iambic pentameter. In fact, this means that his poems are usually rhyming, with 10 syllables in each line, and are stressed every other syllable when reading aloud. The blank poems in his early works are quite different from those in his later works. Poetry is often beautiful, but sentences often start, pause and end at the end of a line, which may lead to boredom. [126] When Shakespeare mastered the traditional blank verse, he began to interrupt and change the rules. This technique has released new strength and flexibility in the poems of Julius Caesar and Hamlet.
Have a natural effect.
After Hamlet, Shakespeare's writing style has undergone more changes, especially in the more emotional paragraphs in later tragedies. Andrew Cecil Bradley, a British literary critic, described this style as "more compact, vivid and diverse, with irregular structure, often complicated or omitted". Later in his writing career, Shakespeare used many techniques to achieve these effects, including continuous lines, irregular pauses and endings, and extreme changes in sentence structure and length. In Macbeth, language has changed from one irrelevant metaphor or simile to another, and it is a challenge for the audience to fully understand its meaning. In later legendary dramas, the plot changed in time and unexpectedly, creating a poetic style at the end, which is characterized by the fusion of long and short sentences, the arrangement of clauses, the inversion of subject and object, and the omission of words, resulting in natural effects.
Emphasize the effect of the theater.
The characteristics of Shakespeare's poems are related to the actual effect of the theater. Like all playwrights of that era, Shakespeare adapted the stories written by Francesco Petracca and Raphael Hollingshead into plays. He adapted each plot, created several centers of audience's attention, and showed as many story fragments as possible to the audience. Design features ensure that Shakespeare's plays can be translated into other languages, tailored and loosely interpreted.
Without losing the core story. When Shakespeare's skills improved, he endowed his characters with clearer and more diverse motives and unique speaking style. However, in his later works, he retained the characteristics of his early style. In later legendary dramas, he deliberately turned back to a more illusory style, emphasizing the effect of the theater.
