Some famous Quotations
"... the time is out of joint. - O cursed spite,"
that ever I was born to set it right !"
Shakespeare , Hamlet , I , 5
"To be, or not to be - that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of an outrageous fortune
or to take arms against the sea of troubles
and by opposing end them ? …To die – to sleep …"
Shakespeare , Hamlet , III , 1
“That we would do, we should do when we would:
for this “would” changes
and hath abatements and delays as many as
there are tongues, are hands, are accidents;
and then this “should” is like a spendthrift sigh
that hurts by easing.”
Shakespeare , Hamlet , IV , 7
“Not a whit, we defy augury.
There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow .
If it be now, 'tis not to come ; if it be not to come, it will be now ;
if it be not now, yet it will come .
The readiness is all.”
SHAKESPEARE , HAMLET V, 2
"The rest is silence."
SHAKESPEARE , HAMLET V , 2
HAMLET
What a piece of work is a man !
How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties,
in form and moving how
express and admirable,
in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god!
The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!
And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
Hamlet Act II Sc2
Quel chef-d'oeuvre que l'homme !
Qu'il est noble dans sa raison ! Qu'il est infini dans ses facultés !
Dans sa force et dans ses mouvements, comme il est expressif et admirable
par l'action, semblable à un ange ! par la pensée, semblable à un Dieu !
C'est la merveille du monde ! l'animal idéal !
Et pourtant qu'est à mes yeux cette quintessence de poussière ?
Listen to this beautiful quotation !
Hamlet meets his mother GERTRUDE
in her bedroom to obtain
explanations for the hasted wedding.
The Final Scene
All the main characters die ...
MACBETH
Un lieu désert
Trois sorcières se donnent rendez-vous pour accomplir un jeu cruel.
Leur cible : Macbeth.
Comme un poison, une prédiction lui est faite,
contaminant son être, sa femme, son royaume.
"Il sera roi d’Écosse."
Macbeth, divisé, terrorisé par sa tâche sanglante,
ira, pour s’accomplir, jusqu’au bout de cette prédiction.
Act I Sc 1
The three witches decide to met with Macbeth
(Cette scène est à jouer par vous !)
MACBETH Act III Sc 4
Macbeth is hallucinating badly.
He sees twice the ghost of murdered Banquo
during the banquet and is scared to death.

MACBETH:
It will have blood, they say. Blood will have blood.
Stones have been known to move, and
trees to speak.
Augurs and understood relations have
By magot pies and choughs and rooks brought forth
The secret’st man of blood.
What is the night?
Il aura du sang : on dit que le sang veut du sang.
On a vu les pierres se mouvoir et les
arbres parler.
Les
devins, et ceux qui ont l'intelligence de certains rapports,
ont souvent mis en lumière
par le moyen des pies, des hiboux, des corbeaux,
l'homme de sang le mieux caché. –
Quelle heure est-il de la nuit ?
ACT V Sc 5
Watch the videos below. They show outstanding acting !
Macbeth:
" Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
creeps in this petty pace from day to day
to the last syllable of recorded time,
and all our yesterdays have lighted fools
the way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more. It is a tale
told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing. " MACBETH Act V,Scene 5
Demain, et demain, et puis demain,
glissent à petits pas d’un jour à l’autre
jusqu’à la dernière syllabe du registre des temps ;
et tous nos « hiers » n’ont fait qu’éclairer pour des fous
la route de la mort poussiéreuse.
Eteins-toi, éteins-toi, brève chandelle !
La vie n'est qu'une ombre errante ; elle ressemble à un comédien
qui se pavane et s'agite une heure sur scène
et qu’ensuite on n’entend plus; c'est une histoire
racontée par un idiot, plein de bruit et de fureur,
et qui ne signifie rien.
ROMEO & JULIET
Watch extracts of Zeffirelli's "Romeo & Juliet",
while listening to "Endless love"
sung by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.
Prologue
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;…
Friar Laurence
"These violent delights have violent ends,
and in their triumph die like fire and powder,
which as they kiss consume. " (II.5.9-11)
Romeo to himself:
But
soft ! What light
through yonder window breaks ?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun !
Arise, fair sun and kill the envious moon …
Act II Sc 1
the famous Balcony Scene
|
Juliet: " What' s in a name ? That which we call a rose |
|
by any other word would smell as sweet. |
|
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, |
|
retain that dear perfection which he owes |
|
without that title. Romeo, doff thy name |
|
And for that name which is not part of thee |
|
take all myself Act II , 1
Juliet:
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
The more I give thee, the more I have, Act II, Sc 2
Juliet: Yea, noise ! Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger ! This is thy sheath; there rust and let me die. Act V Sc 3
EPILOGUE Prince: ”Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”

OTHELLO
Iago " Strangle her in her bed ! "
Act IV, Scene 1
OTHELLO rejects DESDEMONA
"Oh, devil, devil
Out of my sight !" Act IV, Scene 1
Othello:"... I pray you, in your letters,
when you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
nor set down aught in malice: then you must speak
of one who love not wisely but too well;
of one not easily jealous, but being wrought
perplex'd in the extreme;
of one whose hand, ... threw the pearl away
richer than all his tribe ... " Act V, Sc2
