omeo a Julie je vedle Hamleta snad nejslavnj a nejznmj divadeln hrou vech dob. Pbh dvou veronskch milenc se u pes tyi sta let hraje souasn ve stovkch divadel po celm svt, byl mnohokrt zfilmovn, stal se nmtem balet, oper, symfonickch bsn i muziklu West Side Story. Shakespeare ovem pbh sm nevymyslel. Jako u ady jinch svch her (a jako mnoz jeho kolegov v t dob) vychzel pi psan tohoto dramatu z adaptace star, osvden ltky. Mnoho motiv obsaench ve he bylo znmo ji z antickch zpracovn, existuje i velice podobn pbh italsk z konce 15. stolet. Poprv ale tragick pbh Romea z rodu Montek a Giulietty z rodu Capulet z Verony jako novelu napsal v roce 1530 italsk autor Luigi da Porto. Ve panlsku se stejn ltka vyskytuje v prav Lope de Vegy, existuj tak verze nmeck, francouzsk i jin. Do Anglie pbh dorazil ve francouzsk adaptaci italsk novely Mattea Bandella (z roku 1554), a ta se pak stala zkladem epick bsn Arthura Brooka Tragick historie Romea a Julie (The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet) z roku 1562, kterou Shakespeare dozajista znal a j se dal pmo inspirovat. Bandellv pbh, kter v pekladu Williama Paintera vychz v Anglii ve sbrce Palc potchy (The Palace of Pleasure) jen o pr let pozdji, u k dramatikovu pojet nic podstatnho nepidal. Stranou literrn geneze hry zstv i fakt, e prv v dob, kdy Shakespeare pe svou verzi tto ltky, italsk historik Girolamo de la Corte popisuje pbh jako historickou skutenost a zasazuje ho do roku 1303. Prospl tak pedevm turistickmu ruchu ve Veron, kam z celho svta pijdj lid, aby si prohldli Juliin balkon i hrobku a msto milenc, jejich tragick osud v Shakespearov podn o tolik perostl relnou historku z veronsk ern kroniky. Bylo by mon zajmav porovnat Brookovu bse jako hlavn pramen se Shakespearovm zpracovnm a vmat si, jakmi prostedky dokzal Shakespeare vytvoit z konvennho dobovho pbhu dlo, kter pekonv vky. Upozornme alespo na nkter hlavn rozdly. Rozhodujcm posunem je u Shakespearv renesann svobodomysln pohled na svt, tak protikladn stedovkm idelm askeze, 5

poslunosti a psn pojman vry. Zatmco Brooke svou bsn varuje ped mladickou nerozvnost a na osudu milenc ukazuje, jak trudn konce me mt ukvapenost a nerespektovn danch podk, Shakespeare proti vem dm a pravidlm stran velkmu lidskmu citu. Nechv sv hrdiny, aby se ve jmnu lsky dopoutli leckterch zapovzench skutk, a u je to tajn satek proti vli rodi, protizkonn koup jedu, i dokonce sebevrada, a naopak ukazuje, jak fatln dsledky me mt lpn na zsadch rodov cti povench nad zkon. Shakespeare zahajuje hru banln rvakou, sousteuje pbh odehrvajc se pvodn v nkolika mscch do obdob ty a pti dn a milencm pitom dopv jedinou spolenou noc, m dociluje mnohem dramatitjho spdu dje a podtrhuje horoucnost mlad lsky. Akcentuje nenvist obou rodin, nechv sv hrdiny provat stavy zkosti a neblahho tuen, vn tak do hry napt a pipravuje pdu pro tragick vyvrcholen. V jedin scn na plese spojuje pslib astn budoucnosti dvou zamilovanch s hrozbou krut pomsty od nenvistnho Tybalta. Vrazn prokresluje jednotliv postavy. Z Mercuzia, jen se bsn Arthura Brooka sotva mihne, vytvoil Shakespeare charaktern postavu, kterou, jak dajn sm ekl, musel zabt, aby mu Mercuzio nezabil hru, tak siln toti na sebe tento vtiplek, pozr a armr pout pozornost a odvd divka od hlavnho psma dje. Chvu vybavil zemitost, humorem, ale i pozoruhodnou amorlnost, z pan Capuletov udlal chladnou, odtaitou dmu a z otce Capuleta nladovho cholerika, take Julii, kterou oproti bsni uinil o dva roky mlad, zbavil opory rodinnho zzem a postavil ji, v jejch trncti letech, tv v tv neeitelnmu dilematu samotnou a bezbrannou. Kontrastovnm prvk tragickch i komickch, vzneench i nzkch, jak v kompozin vstavb hry, tak v charakteristikch jednotlivch postav, a povenm paradoxu a krut ironie na princip lidskho osudu pak doclil nebval hloubky a veplatnosti tohoto dla, jeho dvojjedinm tmatem je nenvist a lska v nejrznjch podobch. Sta drobn hateen sluh, aby se zvedla stavidla nahromadn zti a zapoal neodvratn proces zkzy. Na poli lsky zas Shakespeare rozehrv vechny jej mysliteln valry. Jinak nahl lsku bode obhroubl chva se svm utilitrnm pstupem, jinak Mercuzio, lascivn cynik a mizogyn, jinak Romeo, kter od platonickho vzvn zprvu jedn a hned druh krsky dospje a v dsledku tragickch okolnost k hluboce provanmu citu, a jinak Julie, kter v lsce bez vhn nachz samu sebe, svou dosplost, sv odhodln, svj osud. Dokonce i otce Lorenza motivuje 6

lska lska kesansk, v jejm jmnu by rd usmil zneptelen rody. A jakoe u Shakespeara nen dn postava jednoznan, ani tento moudr a laskav mnich nen vzorem vech ctnost, ale je to lovk s lidskmi slabostmi a chybami. ivotnost Shakespearovch postav je dna prv tm, e autor ve svch hrch neinterpretuje skutenost podle njakho etickho, filozofickho i jinho apriornho nzoru, ale jako by ji pmo vytvel, a to tak plastickou a vrstevnatou, e kad doba a kad lovk v n nachz svj obraz. K tomu mu jako nstroj slou jeho bohat a tvrn jazyk, kter zejmna v tto he dosahuje nebval pestrosti. Shakespeare napsal verovan drama, jeho ob sloky, poetick i dramatick, jsou v rovnovze. A jak se v ostrch stizch stdaj postavy, nlady a zkruty dje, tak se vedle sebe ocitaj vdy v souladu se svou dramatickou funkc polohy vsostn lyrick poezie i obhroubl przy, slova vzneen i vulgarismy, msta bombasticky ornamentln, lascivn popvky, slovn hky, omlet kli i originln metafory.

PROLOGUE

PROLOG

Enter Chorus. CHORUS Two households, both alike in dignity In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes 5 A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life, Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love And the continuance of their parents rage 10 Which but their childrens end, naught could remove Is now the two-hours traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. Exit.

Gregory, on my word, well not carry coals. No, for then we should be colliers. I mean and we be in choler, well draw. Ay, while you live, draw your neck out of collar. I strike quickly, being moved. 5 But thou art not quickly moved to strike. A dog of the house of Montague moves me. To move is to stir, and to be valiant is to stand, therefore if thou art moved, 10 thou runnst away. A dog of that house shall move me to stand. I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montagues. That shows thee a weak slave, for the weakest goes to the wall. Tis true, and therefore women, being the weaker vessels, are ever thrust to the wall; therefore I will push Montagues men from the wall, and thrust his maids to the wall. The quarrel is between our masters and us their men. Tis all one. I will show myself a tyrant: when I have 20 fought with the men I will be civil with the maids I will cut off their heads. The heads of the maids? Ay, the heads of the maids, or their maidenheads, 25 take it in what sense thou wilt. They must take it in sense that feel it.

PRINCE Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace, Profaners of this neighbour-stained steel Will they not hear? What ho, you men, you beasts, That quench the fire of your pernicious rage With purple fountains issuing from your veins: On pain of torture, from those bloody hands Throw your mistempered weapons to the ground, And hear the sentence of your moved Prince. Three civil brawls bred of an airy word By thee, old Capulet, and Montague, Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets And made Veronas ancient citizens Cast by their grave-beseeming ornaments To wield old partisans in hands as old, 18

MONTAGUE Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach? Speak, nephew: were you by when it began? 100 BENVOLIO Here were the servants of your adversary And yours, close fighting ere I did approach. I drew to part them. In the instant came The fiery Tybalt with his sword prepared, Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears, 105 He swung about his head and cut the winds Who, nothing hurt withal, hissed him in scorn. While we were interchanging thrusts and blows, Came more and more, and fought on part and part Till the Prince came, who parted either part. 110 L. MONTAGUE O where is Romeo saw you him today? Right glad I am he was not at this fray. BENVOLIO Madam, an hour before the worshipd sun Peered forth the golden window of the east, A troubled mind drive me to walk abroad, 115 Where, underneath the grove of sycamore That westward rooteth from this city side, So early walking did I see your son. Towards him I made, but he was ware of me, And stole into the covert of the wood. 120 I, measuring his affections by my own Which then most sought where most might not be found, Being one too many by my weary self Pursued my humour not pursuing his, 125 And gladly shunned who gladly fled from me. MONTAGUE Many a morning hath he there been seen, With tears augmenting the fresh mornings dew, Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs. But all so soon as the all-cheering sun Should in the farthest east begin to draw 130 20

MONTEK Kdo zase rozpoutal ten star spor? Synove, povz, jak to zaalo? BENVOLIO U byli v sob, jet ne jsem piel. Slouc z va strany i ti druz. Chtl jsem je rozehnat, kdy vtom se zjevil zuiv Tybalt s pichystanm kordem, a jen co do ucha mi syknul vzvu, u sekal do vtru, a vtr, nezmar, pi kad rn posmn si hvzdnul. Chvli jsme se tam spolu potkali, pak pidali se dal, k nm i k nim, a vvoda to cel zarazil. MONTEKOV Co Romeo? Nevidls mho chlapce? Jsem rda, e se vyhnul dnen rvace.

I/1 The shady curtains from Auroras bed, Away from light steals home my heavy son, And private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night. Black and portentous must this humour prove, Unless good counsel may the cause remove. My noble uncle, do you know the cause? I neither know it nor can learn of him. Have you importuned him by any means? Both by myself and many other friends, But he, his own affections counsellor, Is to himself I will not say how true, But to himself so secret and so close, So far from sounding and discovery, As is the bud bit with an envious worm Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air Or dedicate his beauty to the sun. Could we but learn from whence his sorrows grow We would as willingly give cure as know.
Enter Romeo.

I/1 ROMEO Alas that love, whose view is muffled still, Should without eyes see pathways to his will. 165 Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here? Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all. Heres much to do with hate, but more with love. Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything of nothing first create; 170 O heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this. 175 Dost thou not laugh? BENVOLIO No, coz, I rather weep. ROMEO Good heart, at what? BENVOLIO At thy good hearts oppression. ROMEO Why, such is loves transgression. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, Which thou wilt propagate to have it pressed 180 With more of thine. This love that thou hast shown Doth add more grief to too much of mine own. Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs, Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers eyes, Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers tears. 185 What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet. Farewell, my coz. BENVOLIO Soft, I will go along; And if you leave me so, you do me wrong. 190 ROMEO Tut, I have lost myself. I am not here. This is not Romeo; hes some other where. BENVOLIO Tell me in sadness, who is that you love? ROMEO What, shall I groan and tell thee? BENVOLIO Groan? Why no; but sadly tell me who. 195 ROMEO Bid a sick man in sadness make his will, A word ill urged to one that is so ill. In sadness, cousin, I do love a woman.

I/1 ROMEO Well, in that hit you miss. Shell not be hit With Cupids arrow; she hath Dians wit, And, in strong proof of chastity well armed, From loves weak childish bow she lives unharmed. She will not stay the siege of loving terms, Nor bide th encounter of assailing eyes, Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold. O, she is rich in beauty, only poor That when she dies, with beauty dies her store. BENVOLIO Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste? ROMEO She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste; For beauty starved with her severity Cuts beauty off from all posterity. She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, To merit bliss by making me despair. She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow Do I live dead, that live to tell it now. BENVOLIO Be ruld by me, forget to think of her. ROMEO O, teach me how I should forget to think! BENVOLIO By giving liberty unto thine eyes. Examine other beauties. ROMEO Tis the way To call hers, exquisite, in question more. These happy masks that kiss fair ladies brows, Being black, puts us in mind they hide the fair. He that is strucken blind cannot forget The precious treasure of his eyesight lost. Show me a mistress that is passing fair, What doth her beauty serve but as a note Where I may read who passed that passing fair? Farewell, thou canst not teach me to forget. BENVOLIO Ill pay that doctrine, or else die in debt.
Exeunt.

S CENE 2. A STREET.
Enter Capulet, Paris, and Peter, a servingman.

S CNA 2. NA ULICI.
Vystoup Capulet, Paris a Capuletv sluha Petr.

CAPULET But Montague is bound as well as I, In penalty alike, and tis not hard, I think, For men so old as we to keep the peace. PARIS Of honourable reckoning are you both, And pity tis you lived at odds so long. But now, my lord: what say you to my suit? CAPULET But saying oer what I have said before. My child is yet a stranger in the world; She hath not seen the change of fourteen years. Let two more summers wither in their pride Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. PARIS Younger than she are happy mothers made. CAPULET And too soon marred are those so early made. Earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she; Shes the hopeful lady of my earth. But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart; My will to her consent is but a part, And, she agreed, within her scope of choice Lies my consent and fair-according voice. This night I hold an old-accustomed feast Whereto I have invited many a guest Such as I love, and you among the store, One more most welcome, makes my number more. At my poor house look to behold this night Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light. Such comfort as do lusty young men feel When well-apparelld April on the heel Of limping winter treads even such delight Among fresh female buds shall you this night Inherit at my house; hear all, all see, And like her most whose merit most shall be, Which on more view of many, mine, being one, May stand in number, though in reckning none. Come, go with me. (Giving Peter a paper) Go, sirrah, trudge about; Through fair Verona find those persons out Whose names are written there, and to them say My house and welcome on their pleasure stay. 28
