Quando Clara nasce, il suo destino è già segnato: nel suo nome la bambina porta il ricordo di un'altra Clara, la giovane sorella della madre che è scomparsa tragicamente, lasciando il marito Luigi per sempre legato a una felicità perduta. Spinta quasi inconsapevolmente dall'amore che prova per lo zio Luigi, si sostituisce al ricordo della moglie, ne ripropone l'immagine, ne ripete gli atteggiamenti e le parole, ne indossa i vestiti fino a diventare il doppio vivente dell'altra Clara. Così, offrendo il suo corpo e la sua mente, come un'altra se stessa consuma in una rapida fiamma il fuoco che la distrugge.

Un doppio ritratto, un affascinante i due ambasciatori, protagonisti di questo quadro, ci fissano con sguardo pensoso, diretto e al tempo stesso interiore. Ci affascina l’inquietante e indefinibile aria di mistero dei loro occhi seri, gravi, assorti in qualche segreto pensiero. Questo dipinto di Hans Holbein il Giovane mette in scena un’ossessione particolarmente forte nella corte scintillante di Enrico VIII, quella del potere e del comando, rivelandone il lato più oscuro. Cos’è quell’oggetto-macchia, lì in basso, che ingombra la scena? Un inciampo per lo sguardo, un pozzo di tenebra, a ricordarci la debolezza e la caducità della vita umana.

In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," written around the same time as "Romeo and Juliet," four intertwining stories unfold. As Theseus, Duke of Athens, prepares to marry the Amazon Hippolyta after defeating her in battle, the relationships between two pairs of young lovers (Hermia and Lysander, Helena and Demetrius) and even those between the fairy monarchs Oberon and Titania are fraught with complications. Set in a forest filled with supernatural beings, the magic of a flower and the meddling of Puck, a mischievous sprite, create and then resolve a night of sensory chaos. Adding to this mix is an irresistible troupe of actors intent on staging comical tales of love, miraculous transformations, and a remarkable variety of poetic expression, resulting in one of Shakespeare's most enchanting comedies. The play has inspired countless theatrical and cinematic adaptations, animated films, music, operas, ballets, paintings, and comics.

Two sets of twins are separated at birth by a storm at sea: a pair of masters (both named Antipholus) and a pair of servants (both named Dromio). Years later, the Antipholus-and-Dromio pair raised in Syracuse happen to visit Ephesus, where the respective twins reside—providing the basis for ongoing incidents of mistaken identity, within a lively plot of quarrels, arrests, and a grand courtroom denouement. Based on a pair of comic dramas from ancient Rome, The Comedy of Errors presents a spectacle of pure farce in the spirit of utmost fun and—as the title suggests—hilarious confusion. One of Shakespeare's earliest dramatic efforts, the play abounds in his trademark conceits, puns, and other forms of fanciful wordplay. It also foreshadows his later and greatest comedies, offering students and scholars a valuable key to the playwright's development.
