Produktbeschreibung

Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a Jacobean play written in parts by William Shakespeare that is remembered for modern versions of his collected works, despite questions about its origins due to its omission from the First Folio. While different critics support that Shakespeare is the sole writer of the play (eminently DelVecchio and Hammond's Cambridge release of the play), present-day editors by and large concur that Shakespeare is answerable for close to precisely a large portion of the play (827 lines) - the primary part after scene 9 that follows the story of Pericles and Marina. ([a] Modern text-based examinations demonstrate that the initial two demonstrations of 835 lines itemising the many journeys of Pericles were composed by a teammate, who solid proof recommends to have been the victualler, panderer, screenwriter, and pamphleteer George Wilkins. John Gower presents each demonstration with a preamble. The play opens in the court of Antiochus, lord of Antioch, who has offered the hand of his wonderful young daughter to any man who answers his question; however, the individuals who fizzle will die. I am no snake, yet I fed on my mother's tissue, which did make me breed. I looked for a spouse, where labour tracked down that generosity in a father: he's a dad, a child, and a husband; I'm a mother, wife, but his child. I will resolve it for you while you are here. In a split second, the youthful Prince (leader) of Tire in Phoenicia (Lebanon) hears the enigma, and in a split second gets its importance: Antiochus is preoccupied with a depraved relationship with his daughter. On the off chance that he uncovers this reality, he will be killed. But assuming he answers incorrectly, he will also be killed. Pericles implies that he knows the response and requests an additional opportunity to think. Antiochus awards him forty days, and afterward sends a professional killer after him. Nonetheless, Pericles escaped the city in disgust. Pericles gets back to Tire, where his trusted companion and instructor, Helicanus, encourages him to leave the city, for Antiochus will definitely chase him down. Pericles passes on Helicanus as an official and sails to Tarsus, a city plagued by starvation. The liberal Pericles gives the legislative leader of the city, Cleon, and his better half, Dionyza, grain from his boat to save their kin. The starvation is over, and Pericles continues on after being graciously thanked by Cleon and Dionyza. A storm wrecks Pericle's boat and washes him up on the shores of Pentapolis. He is guarded by a gathering of unfortunate anglers who inform him that Simonedes, King of Pentapolis, is holding a competition the following day and that the winner will get the hand of his little girl, Thaisa, in marriage. Luckily, one of the anglers hauls Pericles' suit of covering on shore at that exact instant, and the sovereign chooses to enter the competition. In spite of the fact that his hardware is corroded, Pericles wins the competition and the hand of Thaisa (who is profoundly drawn to him) in marriage. Simonedes at first communicates uncertainty about the association, but before long comes to like Pericles and permits them to wed. A letter sent by the aristocrats arrives at Pericles in Pentapolis, who chooses to get back to Tire with the pregnant Thaisa. Once more, a tempest emerges while adrift, and Thaisa seems to pass on bringing forth her kid, Marina. The mariners demand that Thaisa's body be set over the edge to quiet the tempest. Pericles hesitantly concurs, and chooses to stop at Tarsus since he fears that Marina may not endure the storm. Luckily, Thaisa's coffin washes aground at Ephesus, close to the home of Lord Cerimon, a doctor who resuscitates her. Imagining that Pericles kicked the bucket in the tempest, Thaisa turns into a priestess in the sanctuary of Diana.Pericles withdraws to control Tire, leaving Marina under the watchful eye of Cleon and Dionyza.

Autorenporträt

William Shakespeare, often hailed as the greatest writer in the English language, was born in April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. He was the third of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a glove maker and local official, and Mary Arden, of notable heritage. Shakespeare likely attended the local grammar school, where he developed a strong foundation in Latin and classical literature. At 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children. By the early 1590s, he had moved to London, becoming an actor, playwright, and a key member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men.Shakespeare's enduring fame is built on a remarkable body of work comprising 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and narrative poems. His plays, categorized into tragedies, comedies, and histories, showcase his mastery of language and deep understanding of human nature. Iconic tragedies like Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear explore themes of ambition, betrayal, and morality. Comedies such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth Night offer humor and insights into love and identity, while histories like Henry V and Richard III reflect on power and leadership. Around 1613, Shakespeare retired to Stratford, where he lived until his death on April 23, 1616, traditionally thought to be his birthday. His works have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare's profound influence on literature, language, and culture endures, cementing his legacy as one of history's most significant writers. His works continue to inspire, educate, and entertain audiences worldwide.
