Shakespeare in the Time of Plague
あらすじ・解説
Shakespeare in the Time of Plague is a play that takes place in England during a period of frequent episodes of bubonic plague, which greatly affected London for long stretches of time. No one was immune to the misery and death the plague produced, particularly in the poorer parishes of London. Daniel Defoe described the great plague in London of 1665 from survivor accounts, but much of the response to that plague was based upon laws and regulations laid down by King James I during the plague visitation of 1603-1609. It was, also, a time when Shakespeare wrote some of his greatest plays, including Hamlet, Macbeth, and Lear.
Losses animate the lead characters in those plays in complicated ways, e.g.: Hamlet loses his father and becomes obsessed with it, and cannot move on, until he finally is joined with his father in death. Macbeth’s ambition leads him to destroy all those who have helped him and blinds him to his own fatal end. Lear rages on when his children abandon him. Shakespeare may have drawn upon responses he observed in reactions to the conditions of the plague around him. This play dramatizes Shakespeare in the setting and circumstances of those plays.
