The Life of Bill: Language
Known for prose, witty poetry, and blank verse (unrhymed iambic pentameter). No dictionaries or grammar books = learned from other educated writers Credited with introducing 3,000+ words/phrases into the language: EXAMPLES: Bedroom, dawn, gossip, gloomy, fashionable, bump, cold-blooded, Break the ice, breathed his last, dog will have his day, good-riddance, sent packing, seen better days, heart of gold

Only one generation from what we speak today Reading Hints: Thee/Thou = you Thy/Thine = your Art = Are T’is = it is Alas = unfortunately OTHER HINT: Don’t pronounce the apostrophe at the end of words; apostrophes are for other vowels Ex. cat I’ th’ adage = cat in the adage

The only thing that is different from modern time is the WORD ORDER in which the characters speak. For example: YODA: “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by size, do you?” TRANSLATION: “Size doesn’t matter. Do you judge me by size? DON’T STRESS…WE will work on this specifically before we start reading!

Time Period: The Renaissance
PG. 4 IN PACKET

Time Period: Renaissance
QUEEN ELIZABETH ( ) England emerges as naval and commercial power of Western world after defeating the Spanish armada England firmly established the Church of England, which attacks Catholics and witches. QUICK FACT: The C.O.E. begun with her father, Henry VIII, after a disagreement with the pope about getting divorced!

QUEEN ELIZABETH ( ) There were Catholic plots to kill Queen Elizabeth since she was from her father’s second marriage. Catholics wished to crown Mary Scot, her cousin instead. Mary Scot was eventually imprisoned for 19 years and then beheaded. Scotland (1st marriage) England (2nd marriage)

Since Queen Elizabeth had no heirs, so… JAMES VI OF SCOTLAND is crowned as JAMES I OF ENGLAND (Mary Scot’s son!!) Talk about irony!

JAMES I OF ENGLAND 1605 – Gun Powder Plot: Catholics plot to blow up the king and Parliament RIDICULOUS HISTORICAL SPECIFICS: Guy Fawkes rented a cellar under the House of Lords, where he stored 36 barrels of gun-powder. This unsuccessful act increased Catholic persecution. Until this day in England, Nov. 5th is known as Guy Fawkes Day. The English burn dummies of Guy and set off fireworks to celebrate.

JAMES I OF ENGLAND 1607 – Jamestown settled 1611 – King James Bible published Witch Trials continue

Shakespeare’s Macbeth
PG. 5 IN PACKET Shakespeare’s Macbeth

Macbeth: Writing Patronage
THE PLAY WAS WRITTEN FOR KING JAMES I: He was obsessed with demonology, the idea of magic and witches. (2) He experienced the Gun Powder Plot, an assassination attempt. (3) Banquo was written as a “good guy” since King James was his descendant. (4) The play was short because he liked short plays NOTE: The real Macbeth, King Duncan, Malcolm, Banquo and Lady Macbeth all lived in the 1000s Beowulf’s times!

Macbeth: The Curse Supposedly, saying "Macbeth" inside a theater will bring bad luck to the play and anyone acting in it. People actually refer to the play as “The Scottish Play” or “MacB” when at the theater

Macbeth: The Curse WHY IT STARTED:
Used an authentic 17th century black-magic ritual for the opening scene of Macbeth's Act IV (a sort of “how-to” for budding witches.) That means he provided his audience with step-by-step instructions of how to create a real spell! As punishment, the witches supposedly cursed the play and its actors.

Macbeth: REVERSE The Curse
Exit the theater, Spin around three times saying a profanity And then ask for permission to return inside *OR 4) Some believe that you can repeat the words "Thrice around the circle bound, Evil sink into the ground,"

The Curse First Macbeth Performance Ever: Beginning with its first performance, in 1606, Dear Will himself was forced to play Lady Macbeth when Hal Berridge, the boy designated to play the lady, became inexplicably feverish and died. Moreover, the bloody play so displeased King James I that he banned it for five years. Amsterdam, 1672: The actor playing Macbeth substituted a real dagger for the blunted stage one and with it killed Duncan in full view of the entranced audience. Lady Macbeth incidents: Sarah Siddons was nearly ravaged by a disapproving audience in 1775; Sybil Thorndike was almost strangled by a burly actor in 1926; Diana Wynyard sleepwalked off the rostrum in 1948, falling down 15 feet. New York, 1849: During its performance at New York's Astor Place, a riot broke out in which 31 people were trampled to death. The actor playing Macduff was mugged soon after the play's opening.

The Curse USA, 1937: When Laurence Olivier took on the role of Macbeth, a 25 pound stage weight crashed within an inch of him, and his sword which broke onstage flew into the audience and hit a man who later suffered a heart attack. 1934: British actor Malcolm Keen turned mute onstage, and his replacement, Alister Sim, like Hal Berridge before him, developed a high fever and had to be hospitalized. 1942: The Macbeth production headed by John Gielgud, three actors -- Duncan and two witches -- died, and the costume and set designer committed suicide amidst his devilish Macbeth creations. Bermuda, 1952: Charlton Heston, in an outdoor production, suffered severe burns in his groin and leg area from tights that were accidentally soaked in kerosene. Recent Years: An actor's strike felled Rip Torn's 1970 production in New York City. Two fires and seven robberies plagued the 1971 version starring David Leary.
