William Shakespeare's works offer an incredible amount of perspectives we can get beyond his biography and the mere description of his plots, which most of the times represent just a limited intruduction to his genius.
In this video I explain one of the most fascinating interpretations of Shakespeare's theatre and poetry: the relationship between the balance/disbalance of the individual as a microcosm and the universe as a macrocosm.
The elements of disorders often happen to be unconventional women who overcome the stereotype of the "lady" as an angel, which belonged to the previous centuries, and display much more
depth and strength in a complex personality, which is probably inspired by Elizabeth I Tudor. Shakespeare lived in fact during the Golden Age, when the "Virgin Queen" offered a flourishing period to her kingdom, together with a new balance and a completely new feminine image, independent and iconic.
Some of the main works by Shakespeare are mentioned to explain the whole concept, as well as sonnets, which are mentioned and briefly analyzed in their structure and content.
Shakespeare is also described as one of the fathers of the Modern English and his perspective is proved to be still extremely up to date.
