Hallo Leute!
Mein Lieblingsbuch von Shakespeare, den ich übrigens ebenfalls verehre, ist wie 13ens Lieblingsbuch, Macbeth!
Meine zwei Lieblingsmonologe aus dem Buch:
Act V, Scene V:
MACBETH
She should have died hereafter:
There would have been a time for such a word. -
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all of 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.
Wie kann man besser die Resignation, die einen nach dem Tod des Lebenspartners ereilt, beschreiben?
Act I, Scene VI:
MACBETH
If it were done, when `tis done, then `twere well
It were done quickly: if th’assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; but that this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all - here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We`d jump the life to come. - But in these cases,
We still have judgement here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague th`inventor: this even-handed Justice
Commends th`ingredience of our poison`d chalice
To our own lips. He`s here in double trust:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murtherer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trampet-tongu`d, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off;
And Pity, like a naked new-born babe,
Striding the blast, or heaven`s Cherubins, hors`d
Upon the slightless couriers of the air,
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
That tears shall drown the wind. - I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o`erleaps itself
And falls on th`other -
Wie soll man das Zweifeln und Zögern und das Unentschlossene zwischen dem Richtigen und dem Falschen, was aber ehr Macht bedeutet, beschreiben?
Shakespeare rulez!
