Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2021 - 202207:00 a.m., March 22, 2022
The name and work of William Shakespeare, English playwright of the 16th century, are known to everyone throughout the world, like Molière for France.
His personal life, on the other hand, is much less so!
Shakespeare's plays abound with unlikable female characters: vicious, simpletons or even witches.
How to explain such an unflattering representation of women through his work?
Did Shakespeare go through hell with a woman?
In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast “At the heart of history”, Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach seeks in the playwright's private life the beginning of an answer to these questions.
In 1592, William Shakespeare, English playwright, wrote “The Taming of the Shrew”.
A comedy that depicts a woman with a terrible character.
To subdue her, her husband will have to sequester her and starve her.
Does Shakespeare identify with this man?
Is the play Shakespeare's way of exorcising a stubborn grudge against his own wife, Anne Hathaway?
In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast “At the heart of history”, Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach looks at the illustrious playwright's relationship with women.
