Romeo and Juliet. Tragedies

The famous writer and playwright, the Great Bard, the national poet of England, who inspired artists, writers, and poets, and influenced the formation of modern English - William Shakespeare and his work have long become part of the collective unconscious. Countless theatrical productions and films keep bringing us back to the characters created by the genius of the English playwright. The popularity and universality of Shakespeare's works have led him to become an embodiment of the very concept of 'classic' for various cultures and epochs. 'Hamlet', 'Othello', 'Romeo and Juliet' are no longer just plays; they are part of our understanding of the world and of ourselves. The collection also includes the Sonnets, which remain one of the most enigmatic phenomena in world literature; researchers argue about the random appearance of the sonnets in print, the prototypes of the characters - the dark-skinned beloved, the blonde friend, the rival poet, and the mysterious Mr. W.H., to whom the sonnets are dedicated.
