I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this. I read almost exclusively female authors not because I have a dedicated political reason to do so but because women authors tend to go deeper into a character’s psyche than male authors and I just find that style easier to slip into and lose myself in than one that stays almost completely on the surface.

I haven’t seen the soliloquy discussed in the video, but there is a way to read/see it as Hamlet knowing those guys are hiding and listening to him, making it a performance. The Canadian tv show Slings and Arrows had an episode about this, with the actor having to make a choice of how to approach the scene.
@alliewithbooks
@alliewithbooks Ай бұрын
Idk if I fully agree with that take mainly bc he literally cuts himself off from the soliloquy and is like “oh shit i hear ophelia coming” and starts the act up again. I think there’s room for interpretation, I just don’t see how the text supports the idea that in his soliloquy (which by definition is when a character speaks their inner thoughts aloud with no intention of any other character hearing them) he would be keeping up his act of madness.
