Venus y Adonis

Venus y Adonis

by William Shakespeare

Venus y Adonis es un largo poema narrativo escrito por William Shakespeare en el siglo XVI. La historia se basa en el mito clásico de la diosa romana Venus y el mortal Adonis, conocido por su belleza y su pasión por la caza. Venus, enamorada de Adonis, intenta seducirlo, pero él está más interesado en la caza y la rechaza. El poema explora la naturaleza del amor y la belleza, la lucha entre la pasión y la razón, y las consecuencias de la resistencia a los deseos del corazón. Shakespeare utiliza imágenes vívidas y lenguaje poético para describir las emociones de Venus y Adonis, y los contrastes entre su pasión y la frialdad de la naturaleza.
