The Arden Shakespeare series is, for my money, the premier set of editions for the rigorous study of Shakespeare's plays. In the case of one of Shakespeare's most popular (and most troubling) plays, editor Brian Morris makes a compelling case for Shakespeare's version of this play being the source rather than the revision of the stage tale, since there is another play with similar title from the same period which tells, much less poetically, the same story, of a man who brings his intended bride into compliance (and, perhaps, agreement) with his will. Despite its long popularity, the play has especially in the past century come under scrutiny and criticism for its apparent delight in the subjugation of women to the power and will of their husbands. Morris gives some credibility to the notion that there is a more feminist point of view in the play than is generally suspected, though I doubt it will convince the most fervent dismissers of the play. Sexual politics aside, it is a deliciously funny, witty play, and Morris's introduction, with historical context for both the writing and the performing of the play, along with the invaluable footnotes to the play itself, make this edition of The Taming of the Shrew a necessity for anyone who wants to understand Shakespeare's work. ( ) Was Shakespeare a misogynist? He certainly agreed with the patriarchal hierarchy of his day, as is evidenced through the trials and travails of his female characters. One can argue that characters like Lady Macbeth, Ophelia, Juliet and Desdemona are punished for stepping outside of their roles prescribed by society. Some of their infractions are so minor as to be unnoticeable to a modern audience; what, after all, was Ophelia's crime? Her devotion to Hamlet? Her naivete? Do some of these characters resemble the ingenues in horror movies, whose only crime seems to be their virginal womanhood and budding sexuality? Kate is the titular Shrew in this comedy, and she meets her comeuppance through her marriage to the manipulative and psychologically abusive Petruchio. His one saving grace is that he does not physically abuse Kate (which would have been acceptable to Shakespeare's audience), but some of the methods he uses to break her will (starvation, sleep deprivation) would do our "enhanced interrogators" at Gitmo proud. While Kate eventually disavows her shrewishness (ie independence), her sister Bianca is shown to be disobedient to her new husband Lucentio. Through this tidy bit of irony, we get the impression that humans are not really "tameable" - and through the frame story involving the drunken and ingenuous Sly, we see that men are not necessarily deserving of their place at the top of the patriarchy. I listened to this, and enjoyed it. I still can't quite get over the speed of the marriage or the way Kat seems to submit, but in this it was played with more humour and it felt a little like they were baiting each other than either actually believed what they were saying. Had entirely forgotten that the main event is supposed to be a play that is laid on. The fact that the first play is never resolved feels rather odd. I always pick these up if I plan to see the play performed, and I put this down for several weeks when my plans changed. Reading and giggling at the first two acts and hearing good buzz about a local production convinced me to finish it and see it performed. It’s…not my favorite, read or performed, although the performance I saw, with only five actors playing multiple roles, certainly showcased their talents. For me, there’s just no getting past that last monologue, even if there are multiple ways to interpret it. Is Kate “tamed”, or is she just playing along to get along? The way the actors performed it, it was almost like Kate and Petruchio were sharing a private joke. Whatever the interpretation is, the play just wasn’t as funny to me after the first couple of acts. As always, the Folger’s edition helped me better understand the language, with facing pages explaining unfamiliar words and expressions. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: The Taming of the Shrew is perhaps one of Shakespeare's most controversial plays by modern standards. Hinging on the courtship between the arrogant Petruchio and the "shrew" of the title Katherina, it is unclear whether Shakespeare's blatantly misogynistic themes were in earnest or tongue in cheek. The charming and tender Bianca is forbidden to marry until her elder sister, Katherine is spoken for. Bianca's suitors enlist Petruchio to woo Katherina for her dowry. Petruchio embarks on his own brand of psychological torture and in so doing manages to "tame" the stubborn Katherine who morphs into the faultless submissive wife. .Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
