초록
This paper studies the ways in which Shakespeare is portrayed as a father in stage and screen practice, and illustrates the point using as examples Peter Whelan’s stage play The Herbal Bed and Ben Elton’s TV sitcom Upstart Crow. Both works are based on the documentary records of Shakespeare and his family, and depict his fatherly role in terms of his relation with his eldest daughter Susanna. The Herbal Bed is set in the year 1613 when Susanna brought a libel action against Jack Lane. He spots her in the dispensary preparing a herbal treatment for gonorrhea, and speaks out that she is infected with venereal disease as a result of being sexually immoral. The treatment in question is, in fact, meant for Shakespeare, but Susanna does not expose it at the court. Her concern is centered around the possible cure for her father’s illness rather than her case. Upstart Crow is set from the year 1592 when Robert Greene denounced Shakespeare as ‘an upstart Crow.’ Kate, the daughter of Shakespeare’s London landlady, can be seen as a substitute figure for Susanna in The Herbal Bed: both are intelligent, articulate, and demonstrative. Kate provides inspiration for, makes comments on, and has admiration for, Shakespeare’s plays. Those books she keeps for reading are a valuable asset for his writings. In these works Susanna and Kate act as documents of love and endurance that help him make sense of his own life.
Abstract
This paper studies the ways in which Shakespeare is portrayed as a father in stage and screen practice, and illustrates the point using as examples Peter Whelan’s stage play The Herbal Bed and Ben Elton’s TV sitcom Upstart Crow. Both works are based on the documentary records of Shakespeare and his family, and depict his fatherly role in terms of his relation with his eldest daughter Susanna. The Herbal Bed is set in the year 1613 when Susanna brought a libel action against Jack Lane. He spots her in the dispensary preparing a herbal treatment for gonorrhea, and speaks out that she is infected with venereal disease as a result of being sexually immoral. The treatment in question is, in fact, meant for Shakespeare, but Susanna does not expose it at the court. Her concern is centered around the possible cure for her father’s illness rather than her case. Upstart Crow is set from the year 1592 when Robert Greene denounced Shakespeare as ‘an upstart Crow.’ Kate, the daughter of Shakespeare’s London landlady, can be seen as a substitute figure for Susanna in The Herbal Bed: both are intelligent, articulate, and demonstrative. Kate provides inspiration for, makes comments on, and has admiration for, Shakespeare’s plays. Those books she keeps for reading are a valuable asset for his writings. In these works Susanna and Kate act as documents of love and endurance that help him make sense of his own life.
