Decoding Shakespeare • Picture yourself at a wedding… what words do the bride and groom exchange? • I, Jasmine, take thee, Aladdin as my lawful husband. • What common word could replace thee? Pronouns… back in the day • Shakespeare’s works use different pronouns, mostly because he wrote hundreds of years ago when English was a little different. • In the Elizabethan era, like today, pronouns changed depending on their job in a sentence. – Thou: “Thou are my brother.” – Thee: “Come, let me clutch thee.” – Ye: “Ye shall know me.” Practice Fill in the blank: • That in thy likeness thou appear to us! In _____ likeness _____ appear to us! Can you do the next one? Translate the line on your notes sheet. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast Answer: Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast My grief lays heavy in my heart Verb Endings • An older form of English, Middle English, added ‘bits’ to the end of the verbs- called inflections. • Shakespeare used Modern English (at the time), but the language still used some inflections. That’s why there will be an extra est or –st, and –th or –eth. – “Thou liest, malignant thing.” – “What didst thou see?” – “He heareth not, he stirreth not, he moveth not.” Practice • What do you think this one means? Try it on your own, then we will discuss it. I do protest I never injured thee, / But love thee better than those canst devise / Till thou shalt know the reason of my love Answer • I do protest I never injured thee, / But love thee better than those canst devise / Till thou shalt know the reason of my love • I disagree; I never insulted you, / But will care for you more than you can understand / you will know the reason of my love Sentence Structure • Shakespeare loved to play with the English language. He knew he could be creative with diction, figurative language, multiple meaning words and sentence structure. • When reading Shakespearean sentences, rearrange and reword where necessary to understand. – As you cluster words into sentences, you should see that Shakespeare’s sentences can be easy to decode. – Your final sentence can (and probably will) be different from Shakepeare’s. Doesn’t mean either sentence is wrong; it’s just different.
