ACT 1 (ver "Youtube" "Shakespeare" "King John" "chunk 1"-es de la BBC y trae el texto)
With a magnificent performance from Leonard Rossiter as King John and superb supporting roles by John Thaw and Claire Bloom, this production illuminates the themes of legitimacy and loyalty that run through one of Shakespeare's lesser-known plays, in which the reign of England's King John is threatened by Philip of France.
PARA LAS NOTAS:
(to the King, her son)
Your strong possession much more than your right,
Or else it must go wrong with you and me:
So much my conscience whispers in your ear,
Which none but heaven and you and I shall hear.
He hath a trick of Coeur-de-lion's face;
The accent of his tongue affecteth him.
Do you not read some tokens of my son
In the large composition of this man?
(to the bastard, her grandson)
Whether hadst thou rather be a Faulconbridge
And like thy brother, to enjoy thy land,
Or the reputed son of Coeur-de-lion,
Lord of thy presence and no land beside?
(to the bastard, her grandson)
I like thee well: wilt thou forsake thy fortune,
Bequeath thy land to him and follow me?
I am a soldier and now bound to France.
Brother, take you my land, I'll take my chance.
Your face hath got five hundred pound a year,
Yet sell your face for five pence and 'tis dear.
Madam, I'll follow you unto the death.
Nay, I would have you go before me thither.
-----
KING JOHN
From henceforth bear his name whose form thou bear'st:
Kneel thou down Philip, but rise more great,
Arise sir Richard and Plantagenet.
BASTARD
Brother by the mother's side, give me your hand:
My father gave me honour, yours gave land.
Now blessed by the hour, by night or day,
When I was got, sir Robert was away!
QUEEN ELINOR
The very spirit of Plantagenet!
I am thy grandam, Richard; call me so.
Madam, by chance but not by truth; what though? (by chance but not by honesty)
BASTARD
For thou wast got i' the way of honesty
toasting iron -CHEESE TOASTER - a sword.
Like rivers of remorse and innocency -“Remorse” significa aquí pity.
A rush (un junco) will be a beam to hang thee on
The unowned interest of proud-swelling state - the interest which has no owner to claim it
The imminent decay of wrested pomp (greatness obtained by violence)
Thimbles - dedales
