About: Philostrate

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Philostrate (/ˈfɪləstreɪt/; meaning "lover of battle") is a fictional character in a number of literary works, including William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream (1596). In that play, he is the Master of Revels at Theseus' court, meaning he is in charge of his lord's entertainments, making recommendations to Theseus, as well as altering the text of some of the plays performed in his court. Shakespeare may have used this character to poke fun at play censorship in London at the time. In early performances of the play, the actor who played this character probably also played the part of Egeus, Hermia's strict father. There is only one scene in Act V where both Egeus and Philostrate are present, and in this scene Egeus' character would have taken all of Philostrate's lines as his own.

  • Philostrate is een personage in William Shakespeares A Midsummer Night's Dream. Hij is het hoofd van het feestcomité en adviseur van graaf Theseus. Hij adviseert Theseus om niet het stuk van de arbeiders te kiezen, omdat het slecht gerepeteerd is. Philostrate: Ik heb het doorgenomen/ en het is niets, niets in de wereld/ Tenzij u spot kunt vinden in hun (arbeiders) poging/zoiets extreem uitgerokken, en ongeleerd/dat het een crue pijn is/ om u te amuseren" (Shakespeares A midsummer Night's Dream, Act 5, Scene 1, monoloog 76-81) Het is ook het pseudoniem overgenomen door Arcite bij zijn terugkeer naar Athene in Geoffrey Chaucers The Knight's Tale (gedramatiseerd door Shakespeare in zijn The Two Noble Kinsmen). Zoals Arcite zijn identiteit adopteert om een bediende te worden op het banket van Theseus, is het mogelijk dat het personage Philostrate uit A Midsummer Night's Dream hetzelfde is als Arcite. (nl)
