#leontes

[queerhamlet]

sometimes a family can be you, your shepherd adopted dad, his sheep and his bisexual son, the vagabond he has a gay thing with who happens to be the greek god Hermes, your princely bf, his dad, his loyal boytoy who's lavender married to a dykeish witch, her bff and lady aka your mother who's Jesus Christ if she was a statue, your reformed cunt biological father, 12 dancing satyrs and a man eating bear symbolizing justice

So I’ve been watching Cheek by Jowl’s production of The Winter’s Tale and taking notes, and there are two that I’m really proud of/things I think are interesting about this production/parts of the general play that I find interesting:

“Leontes is literally crazy now. And when a king is crazy, it’s dangerous. Everyone is deeply disturbed and confused. Everyone is holding him back and trying to prevent him from lashing out. He’s like a rabid animal. And that’s really interesting, because he calls his wife a thing, but he’s not acting like a rational person. But he thinks he’s very rational.

Even full of hatred, Leontes loves so hard. He clearly still loves his son and cares about him so much. In one of the scenes, he seems very distraught over his wife’s “betrayal,” and he is very emotional about it. When he basically starts crying, you realize how much he fully believes it.”

“This man said that he hasn’t been sleeping, like, at all. He’s having a mental breakdown and I kinda feel bad? Like, I’ve had my own ‘episodes’ that have caused me to act very irrationally and emotionally, so I understand the feelings. I also remember the personal aftermath of these episodes, and any guilt that may occur once you come back down to earth. But he’s also hurting innocent people, and it’s really disturbing to see, and you are also perfectly justified in feeling very angry at him for doing this to those who love him.

So that makes it all the more tragic to me. He’s truly in a state of mental unwellness, and when he recovers, he’ll see the damage he has caused, and the damage itself is incredibly tragic as well. Hermione loves and trusts him, and you can see the hurt and betrayal written on her face when he turns on her. Even though he is the more touchy-feely one, she does love as deeply as him. And she doesn’t even seem that mad, just hurt, and she probably sees how unwell he is. And when you realize that a loved one is in a state like that, it’s horrible, because you love them, and one of the main things you see is their suffering. But you yourself are suffering from the hurricane.”

I just love this production because, as I said in my notes, Leontes feels so passionately about everything. If he feels love, he feels it intensely. If he feels even a twinge of jealous, he becomes full of hate. He is full of extremes, so it almost makes sense that he’d react so intensely to something so small. But it also makes sense that everyone would be surprised by thing. Because again, he has only really shown them his loving side, and you would never expect something from someone who loves so intensely.

Which is really sad. All of it is.

Not sure about the power orbs, but I'm pretty sure somebody's about to get stabbed with that marlinspike.

you know what shakespeare play would be good as a bollywood film? the winter's tale! it's got the family drama, some mistaken identity, some magical realism, and some tonal whiplash halfway through from drama to comedy

discuss

#random ramblings #bollywood #shakespeare #the winter's tale #srk could be leontes because he's good at being emo #i was thinking about vishal bhardwaj's shakespeare trilogy and wishing for more indian adaptations of the comedies #and the winter's tale isn't a straight up comedy but that's why it's perfect

well leontes kissing camillo was…a choice!

#i do believe that leontes is fruity but like. what is this choice. #dude you just spent an entire speech telling camillo about how you’re afraid your wife is cheating on you #and then you kiss another person #who isn’t even really part of this mess #the winter’s tale #shakespeare #william shakespeare #choices were made #plays #theatre #theater

Leontes! I think you’re reading too far into Hermione’s extramarital hand-holding!

whilst I remember her and her virtues,

I cannot forget my blemishes in them, and so still think of the wrong I did myself; which was so much,

that heirless it hath made my kingdom

and destroyed the sweet'st companion

that e'er man bred his hopes out of

Leonte di Bisanzio

nel manuale di greco le versioni sono precedute da una frasetta introduttiva in italiano, che presenta l'argomento e tipicamente contiene suggerimenti per la traduzione dei punti più ostici

questa versione cominciava così (e perciò l'ho dovuta tradurre immediatamente: ἔδει, opus erat)

Una battuta del retore Leonte di Bisanzio mette di buonumore la rissosa assemblea ateniese. (traduzione:) Leonte si recò in ambasciata dagli Ateniesi, mentre la città era in subbuglio già da lungo tempo, governata come di consueto; presentandosi davanti all'assemblea suscitò l'ilarità generale per il proprio aspetto, poiché era grasso e aveva un gran pancione; per nulla turbato dalle risa, disse: "Ma perché ridete, Ateniesi? forse perché son così grosso e grasso? Mia moglie è ancor più grassa di me, eppure, finché si va d'amore e d'accordo, il letto ci contiene entrambi, però se abbiamo litigato non basta nemmeno tutta la casa." E il popolo ateniese si rappacifica grazie alla scaltra battuta di Leonte. (da Flavio Filostrato, ii-iii sec. d.C., Vite dei filosofi)

s.p.q.g. (sono pazzi questi greci)
