Glad you like the videos, R:) Sorry, but I haven't done any sonnets or the 7 ages of man, yet. After Harry Potter, I'm going to do Julius Caesar and King Lear.

Your education proceeds the..you sir after listening twice. Have left out the no. One reason for our hamlet.he finds out his father, murdered.

@5QShakespeare 6 ай бұрын

Hi Steven. As of this soliloquy (1.2), Hamlet hasn't yet heard about his father's murder. That happens shortly after in 1.5.

Can you read the whole play and give us the translation for every word or sentence

@@5QShakespeare I really appreciate it sir.Unfortunately our teacher explains this play by reading the hidden meanings of the words and the texts not only the external meaning of a word in a particular context

@@foxsmusic6720 I see. I do that, obviously, here with the Soliloquies, and I do that in my Macbeth walkthrough. For my Hamlet scene by scene, though, I capture the meaning and significance of the scene by deeply analyzing several key quotes. I hope that helps.
