Wilde was an Anglo-Irish novelist, playwright, poet and critic, and a celebrity in late 19th century
London. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin on 16 October 1854. His father was
a successful surgeon and his mother a writer and literary hostess. Oscar had an older brother
named William and a younger sister, Isola. Wilde was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and
Magdalen College, Oxford. While at Oxford, Wilde became involved in the aesthetic movement.
After he graduated, he moved to London to pursue a literary career. His output was diverse:
poems, plays, fairy tales and a novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1891). A first volume of his
poetry was published in 1881. His greatest talent was for writing plays, and he produced a string
of extremely popular comedies including 'The Importance of Being Earnest'. 'Salomé' was
performed in Paris in 1896.
Drama and tragedy marred Wilde's private life. He married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and they had
two sons, Cyril (1885-1915), who was killed during World War I, and Vyvyan (1886-1976), who
would become an author, penning his memoir Son of Oscar Wilde (1954) and publishing Oscar
Wilde: A Pictorial Biography in 1960. In 1891 Wilde began an affair with Lord Alfred Douglas,
nicknamed 'Bosie'. In April 1895, Wilde sued Bosie's father, the Marquis of Queensberry, for libel,
after the Marquis has accused him of being homosexual. Wilde lost and, after details of his private
life were revealed during the trial, was arrested and tried for gross indecency. He was sentenced to
two years of hard labour. While in prison he composed a long letter to Douglas, posthumously
published under the title 'De Profundis'. The sentence of two years’ imprisonment took effect from
the 20th May, 1895. In the meantime, soon after his arrest, his wife had left him and was living
with their two children (Cyril and Vyvyan) in Genoa (in Italy). Wilde’s mother had died at the
beginning of 1896, while he was in prison. The news had been brought to him by his wife who had
travelled especially to England from Genoa. In April 1898, his wife died too. Wilde was released
with his health irrevocably damaged and his reputation ruined. He spent the rest of his life in
Europe, publishing 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' in 1898. In May 1899, he went to Paris where he
took a room in a hotel. By this time he had realized that the future held nothing for him, and he
made no effort to do any more literary work. In the middle of the following year (1900) he began
to suffer from recurrent headaches, and on the 30th November 1900, he died of meningitis in his
hotel. Only on the previous day, he’ had got himself converted to the Roman Catholic faith, and so
the last rites were performed in accordance with his new faith. He was buried three days later at
4
Bagneux Cemetery. In 1909 his remains were removed to the French national cemetery of Pere
Lachaise.

Exercises connected with the play of Salome
- odlomek iz drame Saloma
1. SU : Students tell the summary of Salome. (SU is helping by providing additional
information). Describe the time, place; present the main characters… (5')
2. TU reads the summary. (2 minutes)
The story of the princess Salome (pronounced ‘‘Sah-loh-may’’), stepdaughter of Herod, dates back to the book
of Matthew in the Bible. In the original story, Salome dances for Herod's birthday feast, and he is so pleased
with her dancing that he offers to give her anything she desires. Urged on by her mother, Salome requests the
head of John the Baptist, and so she is responsible for the death of John. Since this first version of the story
was written, many writers have retold the story of Salome. One of the most famous versions is the play Salome
by Oscar Wilde. Wilde wrote Salome in French in 1891, but the play was not produced for five years. In 1892,
rehearsals for the play's first planned production began, but they were halted when the British government
official in charge of theater censorship banned Salome, probably because of the play's focus on sexual passion.
Wilde was so upset by Salome's censorship that he threatened to leave England and live in France, where he
would be granted more artistic freedom. In 1896, with Wilde already in prison, Salome was finally produced,
but in France, not England. The play did not appear on the English stage until 1905, five years after Wilde's
death. In the years since Wilde wrote Salome, the play has been used as the basis for further work. In 1905,
Richard Strauss, retaining Wilde's text, turned the play into an opera, and there have been a number of film
versions.
3. Students are given the handout n 2 with exercises connected with the play of Saloma (5
minutes)
SU: Wilde's Salome is an adaptation of the text from the Bible. What are the differences in the two
stories?
TU reads the text with the historical description of this event from the Bible. (CEV, Matew 14,1-12).
SU: What are the differences in the two stories?
Further discussion on the differences between the text in the play and the Bible event:
Clue to differences:
a. The reason why Salome asked for the head of John the Baptist,
b. The reason why Herod eventually gives orders to kill John the Baptist.
Herod had earlier arrested John and had him chained and put in prison. He did this
because John had told him, “It isn't right for you to take Herodias, the wife of your
brother Philip.” Herod wanted to kill John. But the people thought John was a prophet,
and Herod was afraid of what they might do. When Herod's birthday came, the daughter
of Herodias danced for the guests. She pleased Herod so much that he swore to give her
whatever she wanted. But the girl's mother told her to say, “Here on a platter I want the
head of John the Baptist!” The king was sorry for what he had said. But he did not want
to break the promise he had made in front of his guests. So he ordered a guard to go to
the prison and cut off John's head. It was taken on a platter to the girl, and she gave it
6
to her mother. John's followers took his body and buried it. Then they told Jesus what
had happened.
4. DU (Salome) and TU (Herod) read an excerpt from the play. (Herodias read by a student)
http://www.bibliomania.com/0/6/57/2406/frameset.html (5 minutes)
Herod Salome, Salome, dance for me. I pray thee dance for me. I am sad tonight. Yes, I am passing sad tonight. When I
came here I slipped in blood, which is an ill omen; …. I cannot tell what that may mean.… I am sad tonight. Therefore dance
for me. If thou dancest for me thou mayest ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee. Yes, … and whatsoever thou
shalt ask of me I will give it thee, even unto the half of my kingdom.
Salome (rising) Will you indeed give me whatsoever I shall ask of you, Tetrarch?
Herodias Do not dance, my daughter.
Herod Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, even unto the half of my kingdom.
Salome You swear it, Tetrarch?
Herod I swear it, Salome.
Herodias Do not dance, my daughter. Salome By what will you swear this thing, Tetrarch?
Herod By my life, by my crown, by my gods. Whatsoever thou shalt desire I will give it thee, even to the half of my
kingdom, if thou wilt but dance for me. …
Salome You have sworn an oath, Tetrarch….. I will dance for you, Tetrarch.
Herod And I have never failed of my word. I am not of those who break their oaths. I know not how to lie. I am the slave of
my word, and my word is the word of a king. …
Salome I am ready, Tetrarch. I demand the head of Iokanaan.
Herod Thou art not listening. Thou art not listening. Let me speak, Salome. Salome The head of Iokanaan!
Herod No, no, thou wouldst not have that. Thou sayest that but to trouble me, … Salome, thou knowest my white peacocks,
my beautiful white peacocks, that walk in the garden …. There are not in all the world birds so wonderful. ... I will give thee
fifty of my peacocks. They will follow thee wherever thou goest, … I will give them to thee, all. I have but a hundred, and in
the whole world there is no king who has peacocks like my peacocks. But I will give them all to thee. Only thou must release
me from my oath, and must not ask of me that which thy lips have asked of me.
Salome Give me the head of Iokanaan!
Herodias Well said, my daughter! As for you, you are ridiculous with your peacocks.
Herod Peace!... Peace, I tell you!… Salome, think of what thou art doing. It may be that this man comes from God. He is a
holy man. The finger of God has touched him. God has put terrible words into his mouth. If he die also, perhaps some evil
may befall me. Thou wouldst not that some evil should befall me, Salome? Listen to me again.
Salome Give me the head of Iokanaan!
Herod Ah! you are not listening to me. Be calm. …. Listen. I have jewels hidden in this place—jewels that your mother even
has never seen; jewels that are marvellous to look at. I have a collar of pearls, set in four rows. … You shall be as fair as a
queen when you wear them. I have amethysts of two kinds; one that is black like wine, and one that is red like wine that one
has coloured with water. I have topazes yellow as are the eyes of tigers, and topazes that are pink as the eyes of a woodpigeon, and green topazes that are as the eyes of cats. I have opals that burn always, with a flame that is cold as ice, opals that
make sad men’s minds, and are afraid of the shadows. I have onyxes like the eyeballs of a dead woman. I have moonstones
that change when the moon changes, and are wan when they see the sun. I have sapphires big like eggs, and as blue as blue
flowers... I have chrysolites and beryls, and rubies; I have sardonyx and hyacinth stones, and I will give them all unto you,
all, and other things will I add to them. These are great treasures. They are treasures above all price. But this is not all. In an
ebony coffer I have two cups of amber that are like apples of pure gold. ..What desires you more than this, Salome? Tell me
the thing that you desires, and I will give it to you. All that you asks I will give thee, save one thing only. I will give you all
that is mine, save only the life of one man. ….°
Salome Give me the head of Iokanaan!
Herod (sinking back in his seat) Let her be given what she asks! Of a truth she is her mother’s child!
Herodias My daughter has done well.
5. SU and TU ask questions on the excerpt, students answer: (8 minutes)
What does Herod offer to Salome if she is going to dance?
What does he offer her later in order to avoid killing John?
Which precious stones does he mention? (DU and TU show pictures of precious stones)
How does Salome's mother react?
Whose idea was it originally to have his head?
Why does Herod finally give up and give orders to kill?
6.
SU: On handout n 2 put the summary of Salome in the correct order (Key: 1b, 2a, 3c, 4e, 5d)
(5 minutes)
7
a) Herod and Herodias enter. Despite Herodias's warning against looking at Salome, Herod asks the princess to join him over wine and fruit.
She refuses, which amuses Herodias. The voice of Iokanaan, shouting insults about Herodias, interrupts the discussion and upsets the queen.
When Herod explains that Iokanaan is "a very great prophet," Herodias replies that she does not believe in prophecy. Herod, amazed by
Salome, asks her to dance for him. Salome refuses and Herod starts bargaining. He offers her anything of her choice from his vast kingdom
for a single dance. Making Herod swear on his own life that he will grant her anything she desires, Salome finally agrees.
b) Salome, the title character of the play, is a princess, the daughter of Herodias and the stepdaughter of Herod. She expects to live according
to her own desires and is not afraid to disobey Herod. She convinces the Young Syrian to bring her Jokanaan, though Herod has forbidden
anyone to see him. She desires Jokanaan sexually and initially speaks admirably of his appearance. When he rebukes her, however, she says
that his body is hideous and that his hair is horrible. She still admires, however, the redness of Jokanaan's lips and repeatedly tells him, not
that she wants to kiss his mouth.
c) Salome finishes her dance, which has impressed Herod. He reminds her that he has promised to grant any wish of hers, and she asks him
to have brought to her, on a silver charger, the head of the prophet Iokanaan. Herodias, believing that Salome is avenging her honor, is
pleased with the request, but the rest of the court is scandalized. Herod pleads with Salome to ignore her mother's wishes, but Salome assures
the Tetrarch that she is acting on her own desires.
d) First, she rejoices that she is finally able to kiss his mouth as she had wished. Second, she is frustrated and angry that his eyes are closed.
Salome finally kisses Iokanaan on the mouth. Catching sight of the kiss on his way up the palace staircase, Herod orders his soldiers to "kill
that woman," and Salome is crushed to death beneath their shields.
e) Herod tries bargaining with Salome. He offers her "the largest emerald in the whole world," his famous white peacocks, and a variety of
precious jewels, including pearls, topaz stones... Salome refuses all these offers, again asking for Iokanaan's head on a silver charger. Again
she asks for the head. To the concern of all at court, Herod reluctantly orders Iokanaan's execution.
7. SU: On handout n 2 , underline the precious stones mentioned by Herod. What colour are they? (5

Herod Ah! you are not listening to me. Be calm. …. Listen. I have jewels hidden in this place—jewels that your mother even

Matthew 14.1-12 - the New International Version
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus, 2 and he said to his attendants, “This is
John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3 Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother
Philip’s wife, 4 for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 Herod
wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet.
6 On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much 7
that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said,
“Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 9 The king was distressed, but because of his
oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted 10 and had John beheaded in the
prison. 11 His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. 12
John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
Amplified Bible
1AT THAT time Herod the governor heard the reports about Jesus, 2And he said to his attendants,
This is John the Baptist; He has been raised from the dead, and that is why the powers of performing
miracles are at work in Him. 3For Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on
account and for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, 4For John had said to him, It is not
lawful or right for you to have her. 5Although he wished to have him put to death, he was afraid of the
people, for they regarded John as a prophet. 6But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of
Herodias danced in the midst and pleased and fascinated Herod, 7And so he promised with an oath to
give her whatever she might ask. 8And she, being put forward and prompted by her mother, said, Give
me the head of John the Baptist right here on a platter. 9And the king was distressed and sorry, but
because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered it to be given her; 10He sent and had John beheaded in
the prison. 11And his head was brought in on a platter and given to the little maid, and she brought it
to her mother. 12And John's disciples came and took up the body and buried it. Then they went and
told Jesus.
English Standard Version
1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, 2and he said to his servants, "This is
John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in
him." 3For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his
brother Philip’s wife, 4because John had been saying to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
5And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a
prophet. 6But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and
pleased Herod, 7so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8Prompted by
her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter." 9And the king was
sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given. 10He sent and had John
beheaded in the prison, 11and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought
it to her mother. 12And his disciples came and took the body and buried it, and they went and told
Jesus.

3 For Herod had earlier ordered John's arrest, and he had him tied up and put in prison. He had done
this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.4 For some time John the Baptist had told Herod,
It isn't right for you to be married to Herodias!5 Herod wanted to kill him, but he was afraid of the
Jewish people, because they considered John to be a prophet.
6 On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced in front of the whole group. Herod was so
pleased7 that he promised her, I swear that I will give you anything you ask for!
8 At her mother's suggestion she asked him, Give me here and now the head of John the Baptist on a
plate! 9 The king was sad, but because of the promise he had made in front of all his guests he gave
orders that her wish be granted.10 So he had John beheaded in prison.11 The head was brought in on a
plate and given to the girl, who took it to her mother.12 John's disciples came, carried away his body,
and buried it; then they went and told Jesus.
The Message
1-2 At about this time, Herod, the regional ruler, heard what was being said about Jesus. He said to
his servants, "This has to be John the Baptizer come back from the dead. That's why he's able to work
miracles!" 3-5Herod had arrested John, put him in chains, and sent him to prison to placate Herodias,
his brother Philip's wife. John had provoked Herod by naming his relationship with Herodias
"adultery." Herod wanted to kill him, but he was afraid because so many people revered John as a
prophet of God. 6-12But at his birthday celebration, he got his chance. Herodias's daughter provided
the entertainment, dancing for the guests. She swept Herod away. In his drunken enthusiasm, he
promised her on oath anything she wanted. Already coached by her mother, she was ready: "Give me,
served up on a platter, the head of John the Baptizer." That sobered the king up fast. Unwilling to lose
face with his guests, he did it—ordered John's head cut off and presented to the girl on a platter. She in
turn gave it to her mother. Later, John's disciples got the body, gave it a reverent burial, and reported
to Jesus.
Contemporary English Version
1About this time Herod the ruler heard the news about Jesus 2and told his officials, "This is John the
Baptist! He has come back from death, and that's why he has the power to work these miracles." 34Herod had earlier arrested John and had him chained and put in prison. He did this because John had
told him, "It isn't right for you to take Herodias, the wife of your brother Philip." 5Herod wanted to kill
John. But the people thought John was a prophet, and Herod was afraid of what they might do. 6When
Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests. She pleased Herod 7so much
that he swore to give her whatever she wanted. 8But the girl's mother told her to say, "Here on a
platter I want the head of John the Baptist!" 9The king was sorry for what he had said. But he did not
want to break the promise he had made in front of his guests. So he ordered a guard 10to go to the
prison and cut off John's head. 11It was taken on a platter to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.
12John's followers took his body and buried it. Then they told Jesus what had happened.
New King James Version
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus 2and said unto his servants, "This is John
the Baptist. He is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works show forth themselves in him."
3For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his
brother Philip's wife. 4For John said unto him, "It is not lawful for thee to have her." 5And when he
would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased
Herod, 7whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8And she, being beforehand instructed by her mother, said, "Give me here John the Baptist's head on a
charger." 9And the king was sorry; nevertheless for the oath's sake, and those who sat with him at
meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11And his head was brought on a charger and given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
12And his disciples came, and took up the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
