UNE ESTHÉTIQUE EN CREUX SHAKESPEARE, LE MONDE EST UNE SCÈNE
AN AESTHETIC HOLLOW SHAKESPEARE IN THE WORLD IS A STAGE

Summary/Abstract: The entire Shakespearian work is filled with references to the world of theatre in the same way that the banks of a river are filled with hidden water. It is interesting that Shakespeare’s discourse is not constituted as a doctrine, but it is still very concrete, very close to the art of making theatre. This article aims at trying to circumscribe the means used by Shakespeare of discussing the world of the scene. One of these could be the reversible metaphors, which shed light upon theatre either in a positive or a negative way. But Shakespeare is complex and unpredictable: the encounter of the contraries, of life and theatre in life and theatre, the actor as a real presence and as a metaphor, everything works through the filter of a parable.
