My first tryst with Shakespeare several years ago was an enforced one. The Merchant
of Venice was a prescribed book in class IX at school. I had read the wonderful Lamb's
Tales from Shakespeare and considered myself an authority on when I read the stories.
I did not think it necessary to read the antiquated language or trudge through several
seemingly abstruse paragraphs to get to the main point. To spend a whole year to
decipher a play when I had understood the story in a few pages seemed to be a sheer
waste of time. Yet, somewhere along the way. I was drawn into the world of the
Merchants of Venice, their portly argosies, the signors and rich burghers and the news
on the Rialto. The language yielded its riches slowly, the characters became well drawn,
more rounded and the impassioned speeches of Shylock and Portia stirred up a flurry of
unexamined questions. Since then, I read several other plays, saw a couple of theatrical
performances and watched young Leonardo Di Caprio in a modern, Romeo and Juliet
film. Shakespeare has been around.
Shakespeare has shaped the writing and storytelling in the English language like no
other writer has. He liberally borrowed bent and brought new words into the English
language from addiction, bump, critic to worthless and zany. The phrases that he coined
roll off our tongues as overused adages. All that glitters is not gold( Merchant of
Venice), Jealousy is a green-eyed monster (Othello) and the perennial All is well that
ends well." He has influenced several writers and been quoted by many of them. One of
my favourite authors PG Wodehouse had the odd Shakespearean phrase popping up in
whacky situations like the milk of human kindness' sloshing inside someone or
references to Banquo and Macbeth explained to Bertie by the estimable Jeeves who
knew his Shakespeare. The plays have been translated into most languages including
several regional Indian bhashas. They have lent themselves to film adaptations
including the Vishal Bharadwaj'sMaqbool( Macbeth) and Omkara (Othello).
The tragedies and comedies of Shakespeare cover every possible theme and idea-love,
greed, jealousy, racism, friendship, mistaken identities, murder, mutiny, politics,
feminism and revenge. Like any other celebrity, he has been the subject of speculation
and controversy. There have been several conspiracy theories afloat on the 'real
authorship of the plays including a recent claim by a professor in Sicily that
Shakespeare was actually Italian. Despite everything, Shakespeare's appeal is universal,
the stories transcend language and nationalities. However more than 400 years after
Shakespeare's birth, I can't help wondering if anyone will read his works in the days to
come
The average attention span in front of a television channel is about 4 seconds before
clicking on the remote to move to another. It is perfectly acceptable to massacre the
rules of grammar and syntax b4 u can say why dis kolaveri di. When you can tell a whole
story in 140 characters, reading 14 sentences can be a chore. Who will have the desire
or patience to delve into the viscous text of a Shakespearean play to dredge up the
treasures that lie within?
