William Shakespare

a cura di A. Finotto e J. Pignet
 Romeo and Juliet's love is stronger than the hatred between their families, the Montagues and the Capulets. But the feud of the two noble Veronese houses will also involve the two young lovers tragically.
 The great Shakespearean tragedy about love has been written in narrative form in this reader rich in activities and extensions. There are also references to the later theatrical, cinema and musical works on the same theme.
 At the end of the book selected and adapted passages for class or theatre laboratory dramatisation can be found.

Am I supposed to be the goose? : You are never with me for anything, when you are not there for the goose. : I will bite you by the ear for this joke. : No, good goose, bite not. : Your wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most sharp sauce. : And is it not well served in to a sweet goose? : Stop there, stop there! : (spotting the Nurse) A sail, a sail! Enter Nurse. : Good morrow, gentlemen. : Good evening, fair gentlewoman! : It is not time yet for good evening! : It is, it is! Look at the hand of the dial! : Stop it! What a man are you? : One, gentlewoman, that God has made to ruin himself. : In truth, it is well said: to ruin himself! Gentlemen, can any of you tell me where I may find the young Romeo? : I can tell you; but young Romeo will be older when you have found him than he was when you looked for him. : You say well; I wish to speak to you. : I will follow you. : Farewell, ancient lady; farewell, (singing) ‘lady, lady, lady’.
