Resumo de Life Of Pi - yann martel

iDue to the plague, the

London theaters were often closed between June
1592

and

April 1594. During that period, Shakespeare

probably

had

some income from his patron, Henry Wriothesley,

earl of

Southampton, to whom he dedicated his first two

poems,

Venus and Adonis (1593) and The Rape of Lucrece

(1594).

The

fomer was a long narrative poem depicting the

rejection

of

Venus by Adonis, his death, and the consequent

disappearance of beauty from the world. Despite

conservative objections to the poem's
glorification

of

sensuality, it was immensely popular and was

reprinted

six

times during the nine years following its

publication.

In 1594, Shakespeare joined the Lord
Chamberlain's

company

of actors, the most popular of the companies
acting

at

Court. In 1599 Shakespeare joined a group of

Chamberlain's

Men that would form a syndicate to build and

operate a

new

playhouse: the Globe, which became the most
famous

theater

of its time. With his share of the income from
the

Globe,

Shakespeare was able to purchase New Place, his

home in

Stratford.

While Shakespeare was regarded as the foremost

dramatist of

his time, evidence indicates that both he and
his

world

looked to poetry, not playwriting, for enduring

fame.

Shakespeare's sonnets were composed between
1593

and

1601,

though not published until 1609. That edition,
The

Sonnets

of Shakespeare, consists of 154 sonnets, all

written in

the

form of three quatrains and a couplet that is
now

recognized as Shakespearean. The sonnets fall
into

two

groups: sonnets 1-126, addressed to a beloved

friend, a

handsome and noble young man, and sonnets 127-
152,

to a

malignant but fascinating "Dark Lady," whom the

poet

loves

in spite of himself. Nearly all of
Shakespeare's

sonnets

examine the inevitable decay of time, and the

immortalization of beauty and love in poetry.

Shakespeare wrote more than 30 plays. These are

usually

divided into four categories: histories,
comedies,

tragedies, and romances. His earliest plays
were

primarily

comedies and histories such as Henry VI and The

Comedy

of

Errors, but in 1596, Shakespeare wrote Romeo
and

Juliet,

his second tragedy, and over the next dozen
years

he

would

return to the form, writing the plays for which
he

is

now

best known: Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello,
King

Lear,

Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra. In his final

years,

Shakespeare turned to the romantic with
Cymbeline,

A

Winter's Tale, and The Tempest.

Only eighteen of Shakespeare's plays were
published

separately in quarto editions during his
lifetime;

a

complete collection of his works did not appear

until

the

publication of the First Folio in 1623, several

years

after

his death. Nonetheless, his contemporaries

recognized

Shakespeare's achievements. Francis Meres

cited "honey-

tongued" Shakespeare for his plays and poems in

1598,

and

the Chamberlain's Men rose to become the
leading

dramatic

company in London, installed as members of the

royal

household in 1603.
