Historical accuracy
The film makes no pretense at historical accuracy and features many comic anachronisms (such as a psychotherapist, a mug marked "A present from Stratford-on-Avon", Shakespeare leaping into a ferry and saying "Follow that boat!", and Henslowe anticipating the phrase "The show must go on!"). An anachronism (from the Greek "ana" " ανά " "against anti-" and "chronos" " χρόνος " Psychotherapy is an Interpersonal, relational intervention used by trained psychotherapists to aid clients in problems of living However, the costumes and portrayal of certain famous figures, especially Queen Elizabeth I, do in fact portray accurately the fashion and mode of the time.
Synopsis
The film centres around the forbidden love of William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) and a noble woman, Viola de Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow). William Shakespeare ( baptised Joseph Alberic Fiennes ( "fines" born May 27, 1970) is an Screen Actors Guild award-winning English Film Gwyneth Kate Paltrow (born September 27 1972 is an Academy Award - Golden Globe - and double Screen Actors Guild Award -winning American According to her actress, Viola hotly disagrees with the way men play females on stage.
To settle his debt to businessman Hugh Fennyman (Tom Wilkinson), Shakepeare's patron Philip Henslowe (Geoffrey Rush) offers Fennyman, a model of a sixteenth-century loan shark, a partnership in the upcoming production of Shakespeare's newest comedy, Romeo and Ethel The Pirate's Daughter. Thomas Jeffery "Tom" Wilkinson OBE (born 12 December 1948) is a two time Academy Award -nominated as well as BAFTA Award Geoffrey Roy Rush (born 6 July 1951 is a Golden Globe - BAFTA - Emmy - AFI - and Academy Award -winning Australian actor A loan shark is a person or body that offers illegal Unsecured loans at high Interest rates to individuals often backed by Blackmail or threats Comedy (from the Greek κωμωδίαkomodia has a popular meaning (any discourse generally intended to amuse especially in Television, Film, and This play will later be renamed Romeo and Juliet and be reworked into a tragedy (but with some comical undertones with a few characters, like the Nurse). Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the
The playwright William Shakespeare is caught with writer's block and searching for a new muse, which he finds in Viola de Lesseps, a young girl inspired by his work and in love with his rhymes. Writer's block is a Phenomenon involving temporary loss of ability to begin or continue writing usually due to lack of inspiration or Creativity. Although forbidden by the laws and customs of the 16th century Viola dresses as a man and auditions for a part in Shakespeare's new play under the alias Thomas Kent. After receiving the part of Romeo, she continues her ruse. She is eventually found out by the playwright, and the two share a secret affair. The romance between the two shows obvious allusions to scenes in Romeo and Juliet, including the ballroom scene from act 2 and the balcony scene immediately following it. Balcony (from Italian balcone, scaffold cf High German balcho, beam balk probably cognate with Persian term بالكانه The element of forbidden love forms the basis of Shakespeare's inspiration, and many of their conversations later show up as some of the most famous quotes in the play. (eg. "anon, good nurse" "What light through yonder window breaks?" "It is moonlight". )
Shakespeare begins writing feverishly, and thanks to the pressures of his romance with Viola, who is soon to be married, produces a tragedy instead of the promised comedy. Viola plays the part of Romeo throughout the rehearsals, but through her pillow-talk with William, learns Juliet's lines as well. Around this time, the pair must travel to meet the Lord Wessex (Colin Firth), a poor colonist, and Queen Elizabeth I (Judi Dench). Colin Andrew Firth (born 10 September, 1960) is an English film television and stage Actor. Dame Judith Olivia Dench, CH, DBE, FRSA, (born 9 December, 1934) usually known as Judi Dench, is an English Shakespeare dons a woman's disguise during the meeting. At one point, Viola states that she believes a play can capture the nature of true love. Love is any of a number of Emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong Affection. Wessex loudly disagrees, and Shakespeare bets an astronomical sum – fifty pounds – that such a play exists. The Queen, who loves Shakespeare's plays, agrees to be a witness to the wager. Afterwards, Wessex proposes marriage to Viola; the action breaks both her and Shakespeare's hearts.
The climax of the film comes days before Viola's wedding to Lord Wessex and the opening night of the play. The Lord of Revels, an official of the Queen, discovers that there is a woman in the playhouse and shuts down the entire company. Left without a stage and a leading role, all hope seems lost. All hope is lost for the two lovers when Viola is married. However, Shakespeare is offered one last chance by the owner of the competing theatre, an offer that allows him to play his story on a different stage. Viola receives news that the play will be acted on the day of her wedding and escapes her new husband (with the help of her nurse, portrayed by Imelda Staunton) to rush to the theater. Imelda Mary Philomena Bernadette Staunton, OBE, (born January 9 1956) is an English actress best known for her performances in the There, she plays Juliet to Shakespeare's Romeo and their passionate portrayal of two lovers inspires the entire audience. The Lord of Revels and Wessex, who has deduced his new bride's whereabouts, arrive at the theater; the Lord invokes the name of the Queen to arrest all there. Suddenly, Elizabeth I's voice rings out from the back of the theater. She secretly witnessed the whole play.
The company moves outside to discuss the events that have transpired. Elizabeth has guessed at Thomas Kent's true identity, but she chooses to hold her tongue, as she "knows something of a woman in a man's position. " However, even a Queen is powerless to break an official marriage of the Church. NOTICE TO WOULD-BE ROMEOS ************** She orders Thomas to fetch Viola, and tells Wessex that Romeo and Juliet has truly represented a case of ultimate love. Wessex is forced to pay Shakespeare the fifty pounds, which are funds enough to become a shareholder in a new theater. The Queen then commissions Shakespeare to write something "a little more cheerful next time, for Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night Or What You Will is a Comedy by William Shakespeare, based on the Short story "Of Apolonius and Silla" by " Viola and Shakespeare part, and he promises to immortalize her by making the main character of his new play a beautiful, strong young woman named Viola.
The film contains many references to other historical characters, not the least of which is Christopher Marlowe (Rupert Everett), who, in the movie, Shakespeare at first wrongly believes has been killed because he was mistaken for himself, when in fact Marlowe has died in a bar brawl of his own instigation. Rupert James Hector Everett (born May 29, 1959) is a two-time Golden Globe -nominated English film Actor and ex- Singer

References to Shakespeare's work
The main source for much of the action in the film is Romeo and Juliet, which the events in the film ultimately inspire Will to write. Dame Julie Elizabeth Andrews, DBE (born Julia Elizabeth Wells on October 1 1935) is an award-winning English Actress Dame Judith Olivia Dench, CH, DBE, FRSA, (born 9 December, 1934) usually known as Judi Dench, is an English Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the Will and Viola play out the famous balcony and bedroom scenes; like Juliet, Viola has a witty nurse, and is separated from Will by a gulf of duty (although not the family enmity of the play—the "two households" of Romeo and Juliet are supposedly inspired by the two rival playhouses). In addition, the two lovers are equally 'star-crossed' — they are not ultimately destined to be together (since Viola is of nobility promised to marry Earl of Wessex and Shakespeare himself is already married). Nobility is a government-privileged title which may be either hereditary (see Hereditary titles) or for a lifetime The title Earl of Wessex has been created twice in British history once in the pre-Conquest Anglo-Saxon nobility of England and once in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. There is also Rosaline, Will loves her and finds her with another man.
Many other plot devices used in the film are common in various Shakespearean comedies and in the works of the other playwrights of the Elizabethan era: the Queen disguised as a commoner, the cross-dressing disguises, mistaken identities, the swordfight, the suspicion of adultery (or, at least, cheating), the appearance of a 'ghost', and the 'play within a play'. Cross-dressing is the act of wearing clothing commonly associated with another gender within a particular Society. A ghost is said to be the apparition of a Deceased person frequently similar in appearance to that person and usually encountered in places she or he frequented A story within a story is a Literary device or Conceit in which one story is told during the action of another story
The film also features numerous sequences in which Shakespeare and the other characters utter words that will later appear in his plays:
- On the street, Shakespeare hears a Puritan preaching against the two London stages: "The Rose smells thusly rank, by any name! I say, a plague on both their houses!" Two references in one, both to Romeo and Juliet; first, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" (Act II, scene ii, lines 1 and 2); second, "a plague on both their houses" (Act III, scene i, line 94). A Puritan of 16th and 17th century England was an associate of any number of religious groups advocating for more "purity" of Worship and Doctrine,
- Backstage of a performance of The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Shakespeare sees William Kempe in full make-up, silently contemplating a skull (a reference to Hamlet). See also Two Gentlemen of Verona (musical The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a Comedy by William Shakespeare from early in his See Will Kempe (actor for the contemporary television actor William Kempe (died 1603? also spelled Kemp, was an English Hamlet is a Tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601
- Shakespeare utters the lines "Doubt thou the stars are fire, / Doubt that the sun doth move" (from Hamlet) to Philip Henslowe.
- As Shakespeare's writer's block is introduced, he is seen crumpling balls of paper and throwing them around his room. They land near props which represent scenes in his several plays: a skull (Hamlet), and an open chest (The Merchant of Venice). The Merchant of Venice is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598
- Viola, as well as being Paltrow's name in the film, is the lead character in Twelfth Night and also dresses as a man after the death of her brother. The viola is a bowed String instrument. It is the middle voice of the Violin family, Twelfth Night Or What You Will is a Comedy by William Shakespeare, based on the Short story "Of Apolonius and Silla" by
- At the end of the film, Shakespeare imagines a shipwreck overtaking Viola on her way to America, inspiring the second scene of his next play, Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night Or What You Will is a Comedy by William Shakespeare, based on the Short story "Of Apolonius and Silla" by
- Shakespeare writes a sonnet to Viola which begins: "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" (from Sonnet 18). Sonnet 18, often alternately titled Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?, is one of the best-known of 154 sonnets written by the English playwright
Christopher Marlowe appears in the film as the master playwright whom everyone in the film considers the greatest English dramatist — this is accurate, yet also humorous, since everyone in the audience knows what will eventually happen to Shakespeare. He gives Shakespeare a plot for his next play, "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter" ("Romeo is Italian. . . always in and out of love. . . until he meets. . . Ethel. The daughter of his enemy! His best friend is killed in a duel by Ethel's brother or something. His name is Mercutio. Mercutio is a character in William Shakespeare 's famous Tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. ") Marlowe's Doctor Faustus is quoted ad nauseam: "Was this the face that launched a thousand ships/ And burned the topless towers of Ilium?"
The child John Webster who plays with mice is a reference to the leading figure in the Jacobean generation of playwrights. The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus is a play by Christopher Marlowe, based on the Faust story in which a man sells his soul to the devil Ad nauseam is a Latin term used to describe an Argument that has been continuing " the point of Nausea. John Webster (c 1580 &ndash c 1634 was an English Jacobean Dramatist, and a late contemporary of William Shakespeare. His plays (The Duchess of Malfi, The White Devil) are known for their blood and gore, which is why he says that he enjoys Titus Andronicus, and why he says of Romeo and Juliet when asked by The Queen "I liked it when she stabbed herself. The Duchess of Malfi is a Macabre, tragic play, written by the English dramatist John Webster and first performed in The White Devil (1612 is a revenge tragedy by the English Playwright John Webster (1580-1625 Titus Andronicus may be Shakespeare's earliest Tragedy; it is believed to have been written sometime between 1584 and the early 1590s "
When the clown Will Kempe says to Shakespeare that he would like to play in a drama, he is told that "they would laugh at Seneca if you played it," a reference to the Roman tragedian renowned for his sombre and bloody plotlines which were a major influence on the development of English tragedy. See Will Kempe (actor for the contemporary television actor William Kempe (died 1603? also spelled Kemp, was an English Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca, or Seneca the Younger; Σένεκας in Ancient Greek literature (c
Will is shown signing a paper repeatedly, with many relatively illegible signatures visible. This is a reference to the fact that several versions of Shakespeare's signature exist, and in each one he spelled his name differently.
Controversy
After the film's release, publications including Private Eye noted strong similarities between the film and the 1941 novel No Bed for Bacon, by Caryl Brahms and S J Simon, which also features Shakespeare falling in love and finding inspiration for his later plays. Private Eye is a fortnightly British satirical Magazine, edited by Ian Hislop. A novel (from Italian novella, Spanish novela, French nouvelle for "new" "news" or "short story Caryl Brahms, born Doris Caroline Abrahams ( 8 December 1901, Croydon &ndash 5 December 1982, London) was an SJ 'Skid' Simon (Seca Jascha Skidelsky (born 1904 in Harbin, Manchuria, died June 26, 1948) was a British author and bridge player
In a foreword to a subsequent edition of No Bed for Bacon (which traded on the association by declaring itself "A Story of Shakespeare and Lady Viola in Love"), Ned Sherrin mentioned that he had lent a copy of the novel to Stoppard after he joined the writing team, but that the basic plot of the film had been independently developed by Marc Norman, who was unaware of the novel. Edward George "Ned" Sherrin CBE ( 18 February 1931 &ndash 1 October 2007) was an English broadcaster author
Additionally, the writers of Shakespeare in Love were sued in 1999 by Faye Kellerman, author of the book The Quality of Mercy. Faye Kellerman (born 1952 in St Louis) is an American Author of Mystery Novels, in particular the " Peter Decker / The Quality of Mercy is the title of several different books The phrase taken from a speech by Portia in William Shakespeare 's play The Merchant Ms. Kellerman claimed that the story was lifted from her book.
