Ah, amazwi eBard angunaphakade: acocekile, ayinyani, kwaye anencasa.
UWilliam Shakespeare , nokuba ungubani ( UFrancis Bacon ? UChristopher Marlowe Isiporho? Igumbi leenkawu noomatshini bokuchwetheza?), Ngaphandle kwengxoxo yeyona nto idumileyo, umbhali odumileyo kulwimi lwesiNgesi, kwaye ngesizathu esivakalayo. Amagama akhe, atyebile kwaye axinene kwimibongo yabo, anyumbaza iimvakalelo zokufunda, ngelixa ukubonakalisa kwakhe ubuntu kufanelekile kuchaphazela iintliziyo zabafundi nabaphulaphuli ngokufanayo. Kwaye xa kufikwa kumahlaya ezesondo, akukho mntu wayenako okanye onokubhala ngcono.
Owu, yintoni leyo? Awukhumbuli lonke isini eShakespeare? Ewe, funda, mfundi osisibindi, kwaye uzilungiselele ukuba neyam kunye nesinqe ifake i-epiphany yomlilo (loo mgca yayingenguShakespearean, kodwa ngewube njalo).
UShakespeare wabhala imidlalo yabaphulaphuli abohlukeneyo. Inkampani yakhe ebambeleyo, iLord Chamberlain's Men, yayiza kudlala phambi kwemidlalo efanayo phambi kweenkundla zikaKumkanikazi uElizabeth noJames I ababezenza kumabala emidlalo aseSouthwark ngokufikelela ngokulula. Imidlalo kaShakespeare kwafuneka ibonelele kubo bonke abantu abanokubakho, ke kwafuneka abhale izinto ezonwabisayo ezingawongwa ngumntu wonke. Ngethamsanqa, wayenobukrelekrele ngokwaneleyo ukuba angazi into enokuyixelelwa ngumvelisi weHollywood wale mihla: isini siyathengisa.
UShakespeare waqonda iziqhulo zesini, ngakumbi abo bangenayo kabini, babeka ukuqaqamba kwintsebenzo, utsho UJohn Basil , Umlawuli wezobugcisa kwiAmerican Globe Theatre. Akaze abe krwada kodwa uhlala esikhumbuza ngobuntu bethu kuwo onke amanqanaba. Ngoku, masicace gca: uShakespeare wayengathethi ngqo ngokubhala iphonografi (owona mdlalo wakhe ucacileyo, UHenry VI, Icandelo 2, iqulethe ukuhenyuza ukwanga okuithandathu ). Usebenzise isipho sakhe kumdlalo wegama ukuze afake imifanekiso yobukrelekrele ekrelekrele kunye neempazamo ezigwenxa kuwo wonke umdlalo… kwaye ndiyathetha yonke dlala .
Imidlalo igcwele ukungcola, utsho Héloïse Sénéchal , umhleli wenkampani yeRoyal Shakespeare's edition of the Complete Works. Ndifumene ngaphezulu kwekhulu lamagama kwisini sodwa. Ndibheja utitshala wakho wesikolo samabanga aphakamileyo ukuba alibale ukuyikhankanya loo nto.
Ke, ukwenze njani wena, umtshutshisi omkhulu wehlaya lesini elicokisekileyo, ukuphose konke oku kulunga kuShakespeare? Ngenxa yokuvela rhoqo kolwimi kunye nenkcubeko, izifaniso zikaElizabethan azaziwa kumfundi oqhelekileyo wangoku. Ukuba unomdla wokuzisa ukucokiswa okuncinci kumlomo wakho wamanzi, nazi ezinye iingcebiso zokulandela umkhondo we-Bard's bawdiest prose:
- Nantoni na isetyhula, unobumba 'o' umzekelo, unokutolika njengobufazi.
O Romeo, ukuba waye, O ukuba waye / i-esile evulekileyo kwaye uyi popp'rin'pear. -Romeo noJuliet, UMthetho II, uMboniso I
THANDEKA: Imbi kakhulu i-Rosaline ayisiyi-orifice yokuhamba, amiright?
Amanye amagama ekufuneka ujonge: Ukophula umthetho, ityala, umhadi, iliso, intyatyambo, ithanga, uphawu, iplamu, isitayile, inxeba.
- Oku kulandela ukuba nantoni na ekhomba- ngakumbi nantoni na enxulumene nezixhobo- imele iphallus.
Kodwa ndingabona ishafti yomlilo kaCupid
Ukucinywa kwimitha emsulwa yenyanga enamanzi -Iphupha lasebusuku laseMidsummer, Umthetho II, Isiqendu 1
THANDEKA: Kwaye ke incanca evuthayo yadubula kwilungu lobufazi lesibhakabhaka. Ndiyibonile yonke le nto.
Amanye amagama aphambili: i-bugle, i-lance, i-carrot, ipere, isibonda, ipeni, umbhobho, i-poll-ax, uphondo, isixhobo.
(Inyani emnandi: UShakespeare wasebenzisa phantse amagama aphindwe kabini kwilungu lobufazi njengoko wayesenza kwilungu lobudoda. Ngelixa ingxoxo malunga nokuziphatha kwakhe ngokwesondo iya kuhlala ikho ngonaphakade, iprozi yakhe ishiya ukuthandabuza okuncinci ukuba uWilly Shakes ngokwenene ndimthande vajayjay.)
- Nika ingqalelo xa kukhankanywa iiglavu. UShakespeare, owayekhe wanxiba iiglavu, wayesazi ukuba iiglavu zamanenekazi aphezulu zenziwe ngofele lwamatakane, kwaezi zinto zazisetyenziselwa iikhondom.
Lo mfazi iglavu elula, nkosi yam; uyaqhubeka nokuvuya. -Konke kulungile okuphela kakuhle, Act V, Scene 3
Ukuguqulelwa: Intombazana eyintombazana inokuba nayo incam yamanzi.
- Ubusuku = ubufazi; usuku = umthondo. Ngoku funda oku:
Yiza, ebusuku; yiza, Romeo; yiza, ebusuku emini;
Kuba uya kulala emaphikweni obusuku
Mhlophe ngaphezu kwekhephu elitsha emqolovini.
Yiza, ngobusuku obumnene, yiza, ngothando, ngobusuku obumnyama,
Ndinike iRomeo -Romeo noJuliet, uMthetho III, uMboniso II
THANDEKA: Yesu omnandi, andinakulinda ukuphulukana nobuntombi bam!
Ngoku uyazi inyaniso engcolileyo: UWilliam Shakespeare wayeyindoda yesini, kodwa akudingeki ukuba uthathe ilizwi lam. Ukuqhubeka kokufunda kumahlaya kaWilliam Shakespeare, jonga UBawdy kaShakespeare by U-Eric Partridge kwaye Isichazi-magama sePuns yezesondo zikaShakespeare kunye nokubaluleka kwazo by UFrankie Rubinstein . Chukumisa abahlobo bakho kwaye woyike usapho lwakho ngeglosari yakho entsha ye-classic smut, kwaye ukuba kukho umntu okhalazayo, ncuma nje kwaye uthi ucaphula uShakespeare kuphela.
* Hehe … Isixhobo.
(Umfanekiso ophezulu ukusuka IHark, iVagrant! , esiyithandayo de kube sekufeni.)
