Shakespeare in Love

The reflection of watching movie (Shakespeare in Love)

              This story is in 1593 of Elizabethan era. The main character, William Shakespeare was in a slump to write love story. Otherwise, this story’s heroine, Viola was enthusiastic to think theater and she tried to approach him. The way of approaching is disguising herself the figure of intrepid boy. 

              When he held an audition to adopt actor or actress, she showed him her performance. And he was very surprised her performance because it was really great. Otherwise, Viola was also surprised because her performance was admitted by Shakespeare whom she always respected as one of a nice playwright. The impact is deeply but excessively moved for her.

              By the too much impression, she escaped from him and he followed her because he didn’t want to lose her talent. But the time her appearance is female and he fall in love. In a long time, it didn’t disclose for surrounding people but when it disclosed, their love didn’t fade.

              One day, she was told about a marriage with Wessex who was the Elizabeth’s son. Otherwise, Shakespeare had to perform his playwriting publicly as main actor. But there is no heroine because female didn’t be permitted to perform in theater at this era. However, by her ambition and enthusiasm, she escaped from her wedding ceremony with Wessex and took part in his theater as heroine. And the theater gradually changed to real “Romeo and Juliet”.

              This theater succeeded, but she had to marry with Wessex because this was policy marriage for their nation. She went to America and they are separated. He wrote his feeling about this incident on his new playwright “Twelfth Night”.

              I think this story has two aspect of interesting because we can compare the enjoyment between “Romeo and Juliet” and “Shakespeare in love”. Each story has some taboo which they must not do as their social position but they broke the rule of society. The stories express how the enthusiasm for love is strong and fascinating.
