I remember this coming out on BBC all those years ago & have been as massive fan of Hiddleston ever since! Everyone knows him as Loki, but thats not his most profound work by a long shot. Part of this monologue is stuck in my head in his voice for ever.

Esse é o solilóquio do Príncipe Hal

Just recommended by a friend of mine. And I am not disappointed

Keep coming back here through the years... 🤍

It's difficult for me not to see/hear Loki

I know you all, and will awhile uphold The unyoked humour of your idleness: Yet herein will I imitate the sun, Who doth permit the base contagious clouds To smother up his beauty from the world, That, when he please again to be himself, Being wanted, he may be more wonder'd at, By breaking through the foul and ugly mists Of vapours that did seem to strangle him. If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would be as tedious as to work; But when they seldom come, they wish'd for come, And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents. So, when this loose behavior I throw off And pay the debt I never promised, By how much better than my word I am, By so much shall I falsify men's hopes; And like bright metal on a sullen ground, My reformation, glittering o'er my fault, Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes Than that which hath no foil to set it off. I'll so offend, to make offence a skill; Redeeming time when men think least I will.

Su voz es un susurro del mismo Shakespeare al oído...maravilloso!!!

Um this man's voice is like summer rain 🌧️. He brings such passion to Shakespeare's words 😍

I've always wondered whether Prince Hal actually believes what he's saying at this point, or is this just how he justifys it to himself. And I think that's how a lot if actors have interpreted it, including Tom imo, but more often than not that tends to get communicated by making the speech comical, like he's making a desperate excuse to the audience which no one in their right mind would believe. But Tom brings a real element of sadness to the speech. Like he genuinley dislikes himself for being a fuck-up, but he needs to believe it's only temporary, and that there's a reason to continue, almost as if he's trying to convince himself. Neither approach is "wrong" but I personally think Tom's makes the character very relatable, and helps us feel more sympathy for him from the begining.

Al llegar a rey ...dejaria de tener contacto con ese otro mundo...EL PUEBLO.💔👀

Not bad. But not a patch on Alex Hassell on stage with the RSC in London. I ‘did’ this play for English ‘O’ level in 1977, always loved this speech, finally got to see it on stage couple of years ago. Love it.

Hiddleston+Shakespeare= Orgasm

He doesn't annunciate properly.makes him sound like a tony blair type dickhead.listen to how he says idleness.meant to sound casual but just ends up sounding like someone reading too quickly.

I....know you all

It’s Shakespearean English, and it’s hard to understand. Even though I’ve read Hamlet and Romeo+Juliet.

Fantastic!!!!

Delivering Shakespeare does NOT mean mumbling and slurring words. The voice of this actor may be sonorous, but it is NOT suited to this speech.

Su voz... 🤤🤤

Shakespeare’s X-ray vision that seams to bore its way threw humanity.

5 years later I still hear Loki

His voice is like silk and chocolate! like waking up to the nicest breeze in the morning in a garden!

even the minute 0.01 already makes me fangirling

His voice gets me fangirling every damn time. I can't help it!!

he does in all of his movies!!

His voice is like fire! So much power and yet it puts me in a peaceful trance<3

eargasm at its finest <3

His voice asdfghjkl

it's not a play it's the hollow crown henry IV

His voice is so amazing, and what he just said (I don't really know what he just said ) but it ounces beautiful. What play is ths? I will watch it

Year 10. I don't do A-levels... I'm in New Zealand and we have NCEA but I studied the play the year before I started NCEA, I'm Year 12 this year.

What year did you study this play? Did you do it for your a-levels?

Porn for my ears.

БОГ)

stop it stop it stop it I have to sleep in a few minutes......!

I literally have no idea what he just said. I was so distracted by his gorgeous face, his amazing voice and the fact that he's so bloody tall!

DAT VOICE *A*

It worries me that I can remember this. However if we were watching this version... English would have been a whole load better.

I have head phones in as I listen to this, all I must do is imagine his breath on my ear and I can imagine him, speaking softly these words into my ear.

Hiddleston and the BBC knock it out of the park. Perfect delivery!

*Laughs* True story!

I was wrong actually, it was "Yet herein will I imitate the sun" not that it matters really, great portrayal anyway. I don't think you have to be worried about orgasming on youtube. ;) Happens to the best of us.

I know! It's ridiculous! But the voice get's me every damn time! It's like I'm shivering and convulsing and.... and... Yeah...

For me, it was "and herein I will imitate the sun" Good lord, the way he just casually strolls past everyone while thinking this to himself...unbelievable.

This was my favorite monologue in all of Shakespeare since I was a teenager. It hasn't changed. And Tom Hiddleston's delivery is so incredibly perfect.

I heard "I know you all" and then had to stop the video cause I was flailing and shivering uncontrollably... THOMAS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!?!

not just his monologue that's so entrancing...but the haunting music that accompanies it makes it more so. damn. don't think I'll ever stop listening to this.

I've just put this 'I know you all' voice clip to alarm. YESSSSS!!! Thanks for the idea <3

His voice is like a warm, dark chocolate waterfall...OH MY GOD!!!! I seem to have lost the ability to breathe normally....

Wow
