EM2120273 - A OBRA LÍRICA DE SHAKESPEARE  
 
 1. Ref.: 5499839 Pontos: 1,00  / 1,00
The English sonnet was the island¿s adaptation from the authentic continental sonnet originated during the Middle Age.
Even though he did not invent the sonnet form, Petrarch, actually, must be both the last medieval poet and the �rst
modern poet, with the diffusion and ennobling of the classic sonnet (two closed quatrains and two rhymed tercets). (...)
[The English sonnet] was also composed by fourteen verses, but with a different rhyme mechanism (...) The sonnet
fashion in England lasted for around twenty years: from 1580 until the death of Elizabeth I, in 1603, with Shakespeare in
the wake of his brilliancy.  (1564-1616).

According to the text above, the classic sonnet is composed by¿
...twelve lines, divided into two ''closed'' quatrains and three variously rhymed couplets.
...thirteen lines, divided into three ''closed'' quatrains and three variously rhymed couplets.
... twelve lines, divided into three ''closed'' quatrains and one couplet.
...twelve lines, divided into one ''closed'' quatrains and two couplets.
 ... fourteen lines, divided into two ''closed'' quatrains and three tercets.

The introduction of the sonnet in England goes back to Wyatt and Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, during the reign of
Henry VIII (...) [The later publishing of] Songes and Sonnets (1557) containing 20 sonnets from Wyatt and 16 from the
Earl of Surrey, many of them being direct translations of Petrarch. (...) But it was only in 1591, when it comes to public, by
means of an adventurous editor¿s independent publication (Thomas Newman's), the collection of sonnets written by Sir
Philip Sidney, called Astrophel and Stella, and composed by 108 sonnets. Then, the sonnet's fashion was consolidated in
the Elizabethan age. Sidney's sonnets were majorly in�uenced by Petrarch, but also by other French sonneteers such as
Ronsard and his followers.

Throughout the sixteenth century, Sir Philip Sidney and Thomas Wyatt were responsible for both...
 ... translating some of Petrarch's sonnets and publishing their own collection of sonnets, particularly Sidney's
Astrophel and Stella.
... writing in Italian to preserve the Petrarchan origin of the sonnets and distributing their manuscripts
throughout London.
... reproducing Petrarch's sonnets in Italian and copying it in manuscripts distributed in London.
... rejecting completely the traditional Petrarchan sonnet form and starting anew the creation of an English
Sonnet.
... bringing Petrarch's Canzionere copies from Italy and distributing them in London.

EM2120274 - O TEATRO ELIZABETANO - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE  
 
 3. Ref.: 5499844 Pontos: 1,00  / 1,00
Analyze the following dialogue, retrieved from the play Romeo and Juliet, and choose the most appropriate alternative.
''Lady Capulet: Tell me, daughter Juliet,
How stands your disposition to be married?
Juliet: It is an honor that I dream not of.
Nurse: An honor! Were not I thine only nurse,
I would say thou hadst sucked wisdom from thy teat.'' (1.3.66- 71)
The Nurse recurs to humour in order to characterize Lady Capulet as unwise.
Both Juliet and the Nurse recur to humour and irony to express their negative views on marriage.
 In such scene, the Nurse uses humour to position herself as an unwise or fool character, in opposition to Juliet
(her wistful interlocutor).
The exclamation on the Nurse's initial utterance conveys a tone of reproach towards Juliet's line.
Both Lady Capulet and the Nurse convey a humorous and cheerful tone in the scene.
 4. Ref.: 5633013 Pontos: 1,00  / 1,00
Reread the following extract retrieved from The Merchant of Venice, in which the character Shylock comments on his
daughter's elopement wedding with a Christian, and choose the most appropriate option about it. ''I would my daughter
were dead at my foot, and the jewels in her ear: would she were hearsed at my foot and the ducats in her cof�n'' (3.1.69-
71)
Later in the play, the audience �nds out that these lines were purely a knee-jerk reaction to his daughter's evil
betrayal, for he truly cared about her.
 The frigid allusion to his daughter's death and capital accounts for the construction of the protagonist under the
derogatory stereotypes of Jews as evil and tigh�sted.
The reference to his jewels and ducats might function as a way of stimulating the audience's sympathy for
Shylock, since he had been cruely stolen by his beloved daughter.
Shylock too is a blocking father �gure, but his dual morality leads to his daughter's forgiveness.
Such line conveys Shylock's despair on the mere possibility of his daughter's death after she runs away.
 
EM2120275 - O TEATRO ELIZABETANO - CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE

Along with the players, both the Admiral's and Chamberlain's Men [founded in 1594] were also supplied with a good
stock of plays from the two major playwrights of the period. William Shakespeare became a member of the Lord
Chamberlain's Men, which acquired his seven or more existing plays for its repertory, while at least �ve and probably all
six of the late Christopher Marlowe's known plays were allocated to the Admiral's Men. Edward Alleyn had already
become famous as the player of Tamburlaine, Dr Faustus, and Barabbas, the 'Jew of Malta'. Those plays along with
Thomas Kyd's Spanish Tragedy formed the staple repertory that the Admiral's Men staged for over thirty years, �rst at

the Rose and then at its successor, the Fortune Theatre in Cripplegate from 1600. Built by Peter Street, who had only
recently erected the Globe for the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the Fortune, too, was outside the city's jurisdiction.

Considering the text above, and the fact that Christopher Marlowe died in 1593, only six years into his theatrical career
in London, mark the alternative which correctly describes his contribution to The Admiral's Men.
Marlowe was an associate to The Admiral's Men during his lifetime and contributed with one big hit for the
company at the time.
Marlowe came out of the university to the theatrical profession because of an invitation posed by Edward
Alleyn.
 Marlowe's early death never allowed for him to be an associate of The Admiral's Men, but the company's biggest
successes came from his plays.
Marlowe's drinking and �ghting habits made him an unwelcome presence among The Admiral's Men as well as
other theatrical companies of the period.
Marlowe's plays were only used by The Admiral's Men during his lifetime, afterwards they looked for other
playwrights.

The triumphant march of English drama began with the �rst manifestations of the Elizabethan Tragedy. Between 1559
and 1566 �ve of Seneca¿s tragedies were published and the body of work attributedto him was published in 1581 in the
historical volume of the Ten Tragedies. Furthermore, way before that time, Seneca was already familiar to the
Elizabethans who knew Latin. His deeply rhetorical and full of blood, lightnings and thunder style, his seriousness and
melodramatic plots offered the �rst models for dramatic writing in which passions unfolded, despite theater still being
mostly commanded by medieval in�uences (...). (GASSNER, 2010, p. 227-228)

Editora Perspectiva, 2010.
After reading the contextualization above and the af�rmatives below, mark the only option indicating the correct set of
af�rmative(s).
I. Seneca was only read in the original Latin throughout England.
II. Seneca was one of the most prominent Roman in�uences for the playwrights of that time.
III. Seneca¿s publishing record reveals that it was not as popular as scholars once believed.

Read the following excerpt from Christopher Marlowe's narrative poem, Hero and Leander:
It lies not in our power to love or hate,
For will in us is over-rul'd by fate.
When two are stript, long ere the course begin,

We wish that one should lose, the other win;
And one especially do we affect
Of two gold ingots, like in each respect:
The reason no man knows, let it suf�ce,
What we behold is censur'd by our eyes.
Where both deliberate, the love is slight:
Who ever lov'd, that lov'd not at �rst sight?
(Hero and Leander, v.167-176)

This excerpt can be considered as an example of a rather common trope in Marlowe's work. Mark the alternative which
correctly describes this trope.
The power of human sight as it captures the outside world.
 Human's incapacity to redesign fate and change its course of action.
God's relevance to the phenomena of love between humans.
Human's capacity to transcend the material world when it comes to love.
Human's capacity to fall in love by merely beholding the beloved.
