COMMUNICATION IN THE DRAMATIC WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Summary/Abstract: Our starting point in this article is that the human voice and language belong to the whole body, not just the brain, and that the role of the voice is to reveal the self. Today's adult voice lacks emotion. We could say that the language, being deprived of emotional and sensory nourishment, became anemic and that everything that is emotional, being abandoned by language, is now trying to express itself through any other means, more or less effectively. We use Shakespeare`s dramatic work as an example to illustrate these statements showing that in order to be able to fully convey Shakespeare`s emotional, intellectual and philosophical intent from the written word on to the stage, those words must connect with a full range of intellect, emotion, body and voice.
