I've seen a lot of Shakespeare plays but I've seen this one twice and have yet to wrap my head around it. The last one I saw was an obscure 1974 version with Patrick Stewart as Enobarbus but it was pretty strange.

Shakespeare should give credit to Plutarch, for Shakespeare based his play on Plutarch 's writings. As far as I know, "the tragedy at the end" IS due to a haunted world, very much like we have It today.

Shakespeare rarely specifically credits his sources, though we’re usually able to pin them down pretty clearly. The exception is Two Noble Kinsmen.

I love this, especially with my 400 level Shakespeare course.

Wow! As a near-sixty year old who was curious about reading this play for the first time I came across this and treated it as a taster. Your presentation was impeccable. Really engaging and lively and incisive. What is this play? It was playing like some kind of tragi-comic action movie in my mind. Going to the book now. Bravo!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Enjoy reading the play!

I just wonder why you call him Anthony instead of Antony. I enjoyed this summary very much.

Thank you so much for watching! Hello over in Iceland! My family are all fans of your Daði Freyr and Gagnamagnið. Icelandic is such a cool language-I wish I could learn it! Have a great day!
