What are the names of the lost plays by William Shakespeare?

We are aware of the titles of two Shakespeare plays which have not come down to us. Love's Labour's Won is apparently a sequel to the early play Love's Labour's Lost which is referred to in the book Palladis Tamia from 1598 which lists the plays by Shakespeare known to the author at that time. The author, Francis Meres, apparently knew Shakespeare well enough to have read his as-yet-unpublished sonnets and to know that he was not the Earl of Oxford, whose literary efforts are treated separately. Another Shakespeare play which has disappeared is called Cardenio and is a very late play. From the title, it would appear to be based on a story from Don Quixote. The King's Men performed this play in 1613. A publisher secured the rights to publish it in 1653, attributing it to Shakespeare and Fletcher, a plausible claim as the two collaborated on many plays at the end of Shakespeare's career. However, no copy of the play survives.

When will Tempest be released?

A film version of The Tempest, directed by Julie Taymor and starring Helen Mirren as Prospero, was released in 2010 and is now available in DVD form. It is a visually exciting film and also makes the story reasonably comprehensible.

There have of course been film and TV versions of the Tempest going back to 1908 (The 1908 film is quite fun, using the relatively new use of stop action and other camera tricks to portray Ariel's magic). And the story has resulted in a lot of off-the-wall adaptations, some using Shakespeare's language and some abandoning it altogether.

What is the stage play in which the actors play dead people speaking from the cemetery but not Thornton Wilder's Our Town?

There are probably any number of these. I believe Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology uses this device. (I'm not sure, because the one time I saw it 30 years ago I hated it so much I've refused to even consider seeing it again.)

Where does Pericles Prince of tire take place?

Pericles is perhaps the Shakespeare play set in the largest number of places. The play starts in Antioch, and also takes place in Tyre, Tarsus, Pentapolis, Ephesus, and Mitylene. It is very difficult to follow the action, which may be why this play is rarely performed.

What was the theme of the play wit?

The play Wit works on several levels of thematic morality. The central conflict of the play is the clash between the simplicity of happiness and the complexity of anguish. John Donne's poetry, as well as Vivian and Jason's personalities, represent the forces of complexity, devoid of relationships with people. On the other hand, Shakespeare's work, which is degraded by various scholars in the play as 'easy,' and Susie represent the element of simple kindness. Throughout the progression of the play Vivian feels the battle of these two forces at work until, in her final soliloquy, she surrenders to simplicity. Following this scene, her personality changes and Vivian acts much kinder. In a single sentence, the play's theme can be broken down to simple happiness and complex pain must coexist in balance with one another.

How is torvald trapped by social expectations in A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen?


Torvald has been raised in the same social culture that Nora was, so it’s expected he would act much the same as other men who were role models for him. He would have learned that, as a man, he would be responsible for supporting a wife and family financially. He would expect that his wife would meet his physical and emotional needs, as well as take care of his household and children. He would expect obedience. He would believe that no matter what, his wife should “stand by” him. The roles for men and women during Victorian times were fairly well prescribed. Women acted certain ways and men acted in other ways. Double standards were common because men were the more powerful, thinking themselves as being in control and more privileged. Women were viewed as not much more than property, in many cases, but with other social, economic and political influences, these attitudes for both men’s and women’s roles began to change slowly.
